The flagship console will compete directly with Sony’s PS5, which has yet to officially reveal its price. Microsoft has confirmed the Xbox Series X price at $499 / £449 / AU$749. Although backwards compatibility will be the same between the two, users with disc collections of previous generation Xbox games would be forced to buy the games digitally to play on the Series S instead of just popping in the physical copy they already own. No disc drive is included in the cheaper system, while the Series X will include a 4K UHD Blu-ray drive. Series X/S games can be stored on an external drive, but are required to be transferred over to the internal drive or a 1TB expansion card offered by Seagate.Īnother cost-saving measure for the Series S is the console going all digital. Microsoft is allowing users to connect 3rd party storage, but due to the speed limitations of external drives, only Xbox One and earlier titles will be playable from the drives. Both capacities seem quite limited in today's world of games pushing 100+ GB. Straight to the point, both consoles are designed with high-performance NVMe SSDs with the Series X at 1TB of built in storage and the Series S at 512GB. The Series S is cut down to 10GB RAM, with 8GB of it reaching 224GB/s and 2GB a comparatively low 56GB/s. The Series X contains 16GB of total RAM with 10GB reaching 560 GB/s and 6GB reaching 336 GB/s. Using the same AMD RDNA 2 architecture, the Series S GPU contains 20CUs clocked at 1.565GHz bringing just 4 TFLOPS to the table.īoth consoles will have GDDR6 solutions closely integrated with their SoCs. The GPU is where the biggest difference lie. The only difference is a 200MHz downclock across the board on the cheaper Xbox Series S, a change likely due to the thermal limitations of the smaller system.
