The amazing Xbox Series consoles are here to bring you next-generation gaming like no other. The Xbox is one of the fastest, most powerful gaming consoles. Offering two flagship consoles, the Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S will introduce you to a newly designed infrastructure that enhances your gaming experience like never before.

Xbox Series S (2020)

Unlike the Series X, the Series S only supports up to 1440p at 120 FPS. Its low price tag and small exterior mean that Microsoft had to remove features for everything to fit in the casing. The Series S isn’t able to play backward-compatible games that are enhanced for the Xbox One X, however, it still supports backward compatibility for all previous generations.  Unlike the Series X, the Series S is also missing an optical disc drive which makes sense as the Series S was designed for travel use. Travelers would prefer to have all their games digital over CDs so it’s easier to take along on their journey.

I’m not gonna lie, this is “impossible” even for a beast gaming PC, let alone a console that costs 10 times less. But of course, games are optimized differently for consoles, leaving out a lot of the “details” that make rendering very hard for GPUs, while keeping the visual result almost identical. Offering 12 Teraflops of power, the Series X is almost double in capabilities than Xbox One’s best edition. 1TB of SSD storage space is also a big upgrade, as it’s going to be the first time Microsoft uses an SSD for optimal gaming performance.
