Xbox Series X Vs Xbox Series S: Differences Explained

The first and most-evident difference between the two consoles is the resolution on which the games will run. The flagship Xbox Series X will ship with 16GB of GDDR6 RAM, while the Series S will have only 10GB RAM. This also means that Series X will run games in full 4K resolution and the Series S will be locked at 1440p.

However, do note that both upcoming Microsoft Xbox gaming consoles will support ray tracing. More importantly, the Xbox Series X packs the 4K UHD Blu-ray drive, while the Xbox Series S is digital-only. The Series X also has a better graphics card, larger RAM, and munch more enhanced features with a costlier price tag. Also, the Series S comes in a single white variant and Series X gets the black color options.

What We Think

Both gaming consoles are surely attractive and make a great deal that suits individual needs. Opening the upcoming Xbox series for pre-order allows Microsoft to take a step ahead of competitor Sony PlayStation 5. Both are expected to launch around the same time, but with pre-bookings open now but the new Xbox has a lead over the PS5.
