PlayStation 5 v Xbox Series X – Which of the Two Consoles Should You Choose?

The end of 2020 saw the release of the well-awaited PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. If you’re struggling to decide which one to buy, given below are the basic comparisons between both. Check them out to make your decision more straightforward.

PlayStation 5 v Xbox Series X
Better Specs and Performance

The first and most important comparison between the two consoles is their specs and their performance. While the Series X may look a little more powerful on paper, this certainly isn’t the case, as we’ve seen after launch. Both the consoles are capable of providing a 4K, 60 FPS gaming experience and even offer the option to enable ray-tracing depending on the specific game in question. In addition, both have very fast loading times, although the PlayStation 5 is superior in this regard. Speaking in general, though, the Series X has better specs on paper. Regardless of this, they’re both relatively evenly matched in terms of performance.

Better Games

The Series X and PS5 have a serious lack of games, so it is difficult to determine a winner in this department. But when you look further into the future, the PlayStation 5 is the likely winner based on announced games. While most games can be played on either console, a few specific exclusive titles give the PS5 the advantage. It has always been praised for its exclusives. With games like Horizon: Forbidden West, God of War: Ragnarok, Ratchet, and Clank: Rift Apart and potentially many more coming, it is easy to see why the PlayStation 5 is better in this regard.

Backwards Compatibility

The Series X blows away the PS5 when it comes to backwards compatibility. The former allows users to enjoy just about any Xbox game ever released. At the same time, the latter only has backwards compatibility for most games released on the PS4. This gives the Series X an easy win in this regard, as it has excellent backwards compatibility, allowing players to make the very most out of the Xbox games they might’ve bought in the past.

Better Controller

The Xbox Series X controller is nothing special, especially compared to the PlayStation 5’s DualSense controller. The DualSense has lots of different great features which make playing on the PS5 as immersive and enjoyable as currently possible. While the Xbox Controller is undoubtedly enjoyable to use, it pales in comparison to the DualSense and its many features like haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and much more.

Final Verdict

The Series X is a very powerful console with lots of games to play at the moment, thanks to its backwards compatibility. However, the PlayStation 5 is also an excellent option that offers a highly enjoyable playing experience thanks to its great features and DualSense controller. This experience will only be all the more enjoyable with the release of coming exclusives. In the end, it all comes down to personal preference. Use our comparison to see which one works best for you based on what you’re looking for in your next gaming console.
