Xbox Series X vs Series S

Thanks to LG for sponsoring this video! Check out the LG OLED CX48 TV at bit.ly/32CXRBB
Xbox Series X and Series S have a few key differences in GPU processing power (TFLOPS), storage, and RAM- but how do these differences manifest in-game? We do some side by side comparisons using Assassin's Creed Valhalla to find out, and we're using the LG OLED CX48 TV as the display since it's a 4K OLED TV giving amazing picture quality and HDMI 2.1 for ultra-fast refresh rates. It's the perfect TV for console gaming! You can purchase it here: bit.ly/32CXRBB

I got the S. I am so happy with it. It's just such a good deal and the games run like a charm. Do note I am coming from PC gaming and I am pretty picky, but so far Xbox S was a bliss. And the fact that it's so small and portable is so great for bringing it to your friends/relatives house etc. It's lovely. And for the small storage - just buy a 40 EUR external storage and you're set. YES, not all games can be run from HDD. There's a way to check whether the game demands to be run from the internal SSD or will it run from HDD, and most games do. So, I just download the games that can run from HDD to the HDD, while use the SSD for the rest.

[@travischapie1394]

One thing I'm disappointed Linus didn't say is that both series Xboxes s/x can use USB storage at launch it was iffy on what Titles would be USB playable but even then it was quick to shift games back and forth as alot if games would come close to 100gb and the 512gb (realistically 300gb after os and provisioning) ssd only gave you five games with it space, but shifting games to my external and back again was typically minutes and I could play other titles while data was transferred . Now after several patches alot more games will play off USB (sorry no definitive list) even games that demanded internal storage will now run off USB (I'm not saying every game will but both cyberpunk and avengers demanded to be on the internal on my system and recently for some reason started working off the external). Usually Linus is so thorough and tries some extra out of the box stuff in his review it felt odd he's absolutely right 200 for double the storage she a blu ray drive is a pretty decent deal But some of us have a blu ray player or don't even use blu rays so the only really advantage left was storage so I was surprised he didn't do a thing on how games load off USB (comparative loading times) how long transfers take to provide on what you really give up by getting the s. I'm also suprised that no review I've seen even Linus hasn't talked about upscaling as most 4k tvs have done sorry of upscaler for non 4 k sources. Does a good upscaler help out the series s. Does the x benefit from a upscaler etc. Just my 2 cents overall a great review

[@JM-qn3tf]

Yea the 10 seconds load time was pointless

[@izzydarkhart4144]

Yeah, I was kind of hoping he was going to bring this stuff up. I have an 8tb HDD and wanted to know the performance differences sense It will be a while before I get a card. I know for some people every second and graphics matter, but for me, it does not. I just want a cheap way to play next-gen games sense we are now getting to the point that developers are cutting last generation support.

Question on load time. I saw in the video where you did resume from the home screen and both were pretty quick. I may have missed it in the video, did you show when you're in gameplay in an enemy kills you how quickly the game reloads for you to respawn into the game? How many seconds did it take for you to be reloaded into a live play game and start playing? In just a little background, our family has two Xbox ones. And I'm looking to add another Xbox to our home for myself. I'm not a huge gamer, but I would like to play with my with my child that's playing on an Xbox One.

You guys really need to record at 60FPS when trying to demonstrate differences in framerates and "smoothness". It's completely imperceptible when your video is 30FPS. Even if most of your video is rendered at 30FPS and just 60FPS in the side-by-side comparison shots.

[@Tonyx.yt.]

no, watching 60 fps "none gamplay" videos on youtube is not that good, 30 fps gives cinematography effect, recording at 60 fps feels weird to watch, there's a good reason if cinema standard is 24 or 25 fps

The Series S is primarily for gamers like myself that are on a 10 year old 1080p TV and don't intend to upgrade anytime soon. It is designed to play optimally on that (or 1440p) resolution with upscaling to 4K an additional feature. The faster loading time and low input latency are the winners for me and why I will soon upgrade from my One S.

Ayo if ur a competitive gamer there is absolutely no need for 4k, all you need is 120fps, and so isn’t series s the best deal?

[@PinStratsDan]

​@Cantdothis212 Because it has clear benefits specifically for the games that I play. The main game that I play, Pinball FX3, clearly put users with the least amount of input lag at an advantage. That is one clear area where the Xbox Series is vastly improved on the Xbox One. The cost of the S is cheap for what you get and low enough that I don't have to go too much out of my way to buy it if I e.g. sell my Xbox One S. Buying an X will just be pointless for me at this stage. I will not be able to make use of it unless I buy a much more expensive TV that have HDMI 2.1 input.

Finaly I found someone in the comments who has disc too. I was thinking the same, series S would be enough for me, but I need a way to play my old games so series S is a no no. Thanks Microsoft

[@suntannedduck2388]

Can't agree more. To my the S is for someone that wants a few games on it to play COD, Fornite and so on that aren't going to buy tons or that wants a few on Gamepass/or as a second console even if for the cheap price, but us Disk users need the more expensive ones to keep using our older (4 generation of Xbox games) and newer games on them. And I'm not selling them for a digital code either. Though as I have no Original Xbox, 2 360 (1 with Internet, 1 without), and a One/One X I think it's clear what I've using my Original Xbox and 360 games on. Testing what the old can do is cool still and using it for new is important/giving it the proper use, but yeah otherwise the lists just aren't worth it if you have the older consoles or certain games you can't (cough and the Xbox Original on Xbox One list is just not worth it to me compared to the 360's BC, it's good and has a few on there I want but not enough to count it worth while compared to the few 360 I tried on the One). And as I've just started collecting for Original Xbox now the ones I wanted like Project Gotham Racing 1 & 2 aren't on Xbox One's list so no point in moving forward for them, so the 360s will do.

[@Fidelis1776]

I had the same thought process for a bit, until I actually looked at my gaming collection for the 360 (skipped MS last gen). I was REALLY into Capcom and fighting games back then so those were all physical. My two sticks wouldn't work on the S or the X, so I'm still stuck with that system for those games. I have the best luck when it comes to gaming (your screen should be sticky from the sarcasm oozing from those words). Almost 75% of the other games I bought physical were later released a free games on Gold back when they actually let you keep the games. Fast forward to 12AM on the 11th, when I finally get home and get to open the Series S I was able to get from Walmart. I have 34 games available in my library, $15 in a my Live account that has to have been sitting there for 6+ years, and the offer for Game Pass Ultimate for $1. After using the offer (and finding out I also have enough Bing Rewards points for 3 more months) to fill in the blanks, out of my entire library I'm missing Lost Odyssey and some random OG Xbox games I was given when I first got the 360 and needed something to play. All in all, I'm very satisfied with what I got. I gave up a disc drive and some extra power under the hood for $200. 800GB wasn't going to be enough for my BC library, so I still would have needed to get extra storage even if I bought the Series X. My 4K TV can't do 120HZ, but I have a great 1080P projector. Now, had I been planning to upgrade either of those in the next few years, I probably would have bought a Series X.... A year from now.

Realistically though somebody who is going to be buying the Xbox Series S is probably not going to have that fancy pants TV.

[@WaynePutterill]

Exactly, it's for the people who don't have 4k

[@Adahop]

I dunno, my wife and I both find the S really attractive because of its smol size and steep discount, even though we have several 4K TVs and top end gaming PCs and all that stuff. I guess we just don't consider consoles to be where we look for good graphics to begin with.

[@WaynePutterill]

@@Adahop yes there will definitely be people like yourself, but I think a lot of the reviewers are forgetting that the biggest market for consoles is the same as ever - kids.

[@star215]

@Dindu "Price per frame" doesn't mean shit to parents who are buying it for their kids and that 200 dollars extra for the Series X feels way more expensive than it does to you because of salary

[@Ahov]

@@star215 Yeah but imagine all the parents out there who buy the Series S and it can't even play all of the games they previously purchased.

[@SERP3NTER]

I am actually used to play on the Wii that I don't care about how good image quality looks, but how good the games are and how much you enjoy them, and that is why I am sticking with the series S Which is also my first Xbox.

[@dylanleff373]

Good

[@wildcoyot3768]

I have a series s, got it when they first released. I love mine, gonna upgrade to a x soon tho. But my series s has been running in 4k 60fps perfectly forever now. I love it and no complaints, just had to get some external storage

[@karthikeyathotamsetty1741]

The cost of the series s is lower at the beginning but considering that u can’t buy used cds for cheaper and sell them too, you have to play for more storage for the series s after you use up the 512 gigs and the digital games are more expensive than 2nd hand cds, the series s might end up costing more in its lifespan of use

[@gohan12991]

Depends. I got series s for cheap at 26,500 with 4 months of warranty left. Now the good thing is I am a casual gamer and I get 1-2 hrs a day to play so series s suits me because of gamepass. It's just 500 rupees and you can upgrade to gold by paying 59 rupees extra. So you get total 9 months subscription and there are a lot of good games. All yakuza games, flight simulator, forza, halo,psychonauts, all doom games, Ori & many good indie titles as well are available on gamepass. For casual gamers who will stick to Gamepass and maybe buy very few games like once a year, series s is a good choice

[@chazzilla8919]

Good point, but game pass ultimate is a must buy imo for series s and that gives you hundreds of games for slightly more than two AAA games a year, which is impeccable

[@markojovanovic7100]

True but still there is gamepass ultimate

[@madmax2069]

What I'd love to see is a video on affordable 4k 120hz TVs for these new consoles, something like the Samsung Q70t, and LG Nanocell 85.

[@sadisadra760]

The hisense u7g is a pretty good bank for buck tv

[@Larson907]

A minute to start a game, and 5 hours to download the update.

[@devinderevage6304]

Your internet must be ass

[@Ilikeavocados123]

Rip wifi lol

[@SYS_Alberto]

*@Larson907* This is the future, man. deal with it or buy a PC.

[@leonro]

1. Then you should probably invest in better Internet, not a gaming console. 2. If that's not an option, just go to sleep and wake up with the new update installed.

[@EG-O]

lol damn that must be some ass internet

[@brewergamer]

I ended up giving up on trying to get a Series X and bought myself a Series S. Really wanted an X but they're just never in stock lol. I must say that some games you can tell they're going really aggressive on the dynamic resolution and being a mostly PC gamer (I got a fairly good custom built gaming PC but alot of my IRL friends only have xbox's) it bothers me alot.

[@Felix4103_]

bought the series S 3 days ago was definitely worth it got it just to play games i couldn’t on the ps5 for example skate 3 been having alot of fun defintely recommend getting one

[@nucks4cup75]

The added memory and the drive (for Blu Ray/DVD and older library gameplay). Pretty much make it worth the extra 200. The exception being if you're going to keep your old One X around for those features, and then you spend that 200 on a memory module.

[@Raj-ul9my]

Also 3 times the graphical power of the series s, its a no brainier the series x is the console to buy unless your a dad or mom wanting to Buy a console For your little One with game pass, if your serious about gaming then u must go for the xbox series x

[@AcidGlow]

They look cool but I haven't been caught in the hype. I don't see any game at the moment to make me buy one. I'll stick to my current console probably for a long time. 🎮

[@exhydraboy2429]

Honestly. My heavily modded ps4 slim has a few more years in it i think

[@Whatthe1120]

I'd recommend buying a PS5 when god of war ragnarok comes out and Xbox series in 2022, when third party games stop coming out for previous gen

[@mouadtalbi4170]

In my opinion New gens console aren't worth until a year after launch

[@baljeet8597]

@@mouadtalbi4170 why

[@loop5720]

@@baljeet8597 I don't know, maybe because there are possibilities for upcoming issues and exclusives are coming a bit late? Price can have a chance to drop by other markets with sales, and stocks will be higher
