Hi! If you are having trouble looking for a gift for your loved ones this coming Christmas, I compiled a list of why the Xbox Series S is a good gift.
Xbox series S is the entry-level next-gen console that only costs about 299 USD as of the time of writing. This is the cheapest console you can buy now if you want to play nextgen games. If you come from Xbox One X you might notice the slight difference coming from native 4K to 1440p resolution of series S. This is the smallest Xbox ever made compact with superb specs that can compete with Sony PS5 and Xbox Series X.
The load times are super fast as it has a custom SSD for faster load times. QUICK RESUME is one of the features as it shows how fast the console is. You can switch games seamlessly and continue where you left off. Even if the console is turned off. Turning on the console again will resume where you left off. Amazing isn't it?
With games optimized for Series S|X you will experience 120fps gameplay and for some older titles, you will notice a slight upgrade in graphics and performance boost. Play older titles as the series S is backward compatible. Faster load times, more framerates, and higher resolution for Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Original Xbox games.
Because of the backwards compatibility this makes games on the xbox cheaper than its rival the plastation. I now have a huge collection of games purchased.
XBOX GAME PASS is the Netflix of gaming, with the subscription you will be able to play new games on day one. Play hundreds of games in the cloud using a phone or tablet with Xbox cloud included in game pass. EA Play is also included in the game pass with no extra costs. Game Pass has hundreds of games available like FPS, SIMULATION, RPG, SPORTS, indie, and many more.
Xbox Design Lab you can create your own controller, you choose the colors, buttons styles, and metallic finishes.
EMULATION this is a good emulation device too powerful, you can install dev mode on the Xbox and emulate games on different consoles.
Easily available in-store as Microsoft is rumored that is paid for chip manufacturers for priority access. Right now the PS5 is hard to find in stores you can buy it at scalpers for double the price.
There are a few cons for this console like it doesn't have a blue-ray disk drive like his twin brother's Series X. It has only 512 Gigs in memory, games optimize for series S|X won't be playable on an external HDD. You need to buy the Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Series S|X. All in all the cons can be outweighed by the pros.
This year Microsoft acquire Activision Blizzard the creator of Call of Duty franchise, STARFIELD is also coming later made by Bethesda.
Before I go, the console is quite even playing continous hours non stop.
