Hey everyone! It’s my birthday coming up and I’m trying to decide which Xbox to buy. I’m debating between getting a second-hand Series X or S. I mainly want to play Fortnite and Minecraft. Right now, I’m using an Xbox One at 60 frames on a 75hz monitor, but I just upgraded to a 180hz monitor. I’ve heard the Series X performs better, especially in performance mode, but I’ve also been told the Series S offers better value for the money. I really appreciate any advice you can give!

It’s really a personal choice. If you’re mainly looking to upgrade your framerate from what you currently have, the Series S might be your best bet. Just keep in mind that while Series S is cheaper, it might be capped at lower framerates for some new games. But if you’re mostly playing Fortnite and Minecraft, it’s a solid pick for value!
Definitely go for the Series X! It offers way more power, and it’s hard to go wrong with that option. You’ll thank yourself later!
Honestly, you don’t absolutely need a Series X just for Fortnite or Minecraft. The Series S can handle those games fine if you’re just looking to have a good time without breaking the bank!
I get that, but I just want to escape the 60 frames limitation!
I think it’s always wise to get the more powerful model. The Series X is more future-proof, meaning it’s less likely you’ll have to upgrade again soon. It really ends up saving you money in the long run!
If I were you, I’d lean towards the Series X. It might be a bit pricier, but it’s more powerful and will save you from having to upgrade again anytime soon. You never know what games you might get into later!
What games really shine on the Series X compared to the S?
But is it still worth it if I don’t have a 4k monitor?
