Series X or Series S?
The difference that matters on this page is simple: the Series X has a disc drive, the Series S does not. With a Series S, a physical disc is no use — you need a digital copy.
Beyond that, the Series X is considerably more powerful and targets 4K, while the Series S was designed for 1440p at a lower price.
Backward compatibility
- Xbox One — almost every title works, often with better performance and faster loading.
- Xbox 360 and original — a large number of classics are officially supported — the best compatibility in the market.
- Smart Delivery — where supported, you buy once and automatically get the version that suits your console.
- Play Anywhere — some titles work on both Xbox and PC from a single purchase.
