PS5 and Xbox Series X are great gaming consoles, and it’s hard to decide if it is worth switching from one to another, especially since there are just a few differences between them. Yet, to decide which one is the best for you, it is important to know the main aspects, such as specifications, game libraries, and features.
Specifications-wise, the Xbox Series X is slightly more powerful than the PS5, but the differences are barely visible. When it comes to games, PS5 is better because it offers a larger pool of single-player exclusives but Xbox just beat PlayStation on sheer game numbers. Yet, if we talk features, both devices excel in different areas. So, without further ado, let’s compare the two of them side by side.
PS5 or Xbox which one is better?
Specifications
| PS5 | Xbox Series X | Xbox Series S | |
| CPU | 8-core 3.5 GHz AMD Zen 2 | 8-core, 3.8 GHz AMD Zen 2 | 8-core, 3.6GHz Zen 2 |
| GPU | 10.3 teraflop AMD RDNA 2 | 12.0 teraflop AMD RDNA 2 | 4.0 teraflop AMD Radeon RDNA |
| RAM | 16 GB GDDR6 | 16 GB GDDR6 | 10GB GDDR6 RAM |
| Resolution | Max 8K | Max 8K | 1440p |
| Frame Rate | 120 FPS | 120 FPS | 120 FPS |
| Optical Disc Drive | 4K UHD Blu-ray | 4K UHD Blu-ray | – |
| Storage | 825 GB SSD | 1 TB Custom NVME SSD | Custom NVME SSD 512GB Storage |
As you can see, there aren’t substantial differences between X and PS5. Besides that, the Xbox Series X has a slightly better CPU and GPU.
If you already have a PS5, you can get an Xbox Series S because it is cheaper than X and shares some key features.
Game Libraries
If you play single-player games mostly, then we recommend PS5. Some of the worth playing titles are:
On the other hand, Xbox has some great multiplayer games such as:
Also worth mentioning is that the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is a great feature because it allows you to play games on other devices, and for 17$ monthly, you will get over 100 games. Moreover, you will get to access newer games faster.
Furthermore, the backward compatibility feature that allows you to play games from older consoles is better developed on Xbox, allowing you to play Xbox originals on Series X.
On top of that, the cloud gaming system is better developed on the Xbox side since you can stream games on PCs, phones, tablets, smart TVs, VR headsets, and more.
Ultimately, now that you know the differences between the consoles, it should be easier to decide if it is worth switching from PS5 to Xbox. In addition, we recommend you check the games available for both.
