I wanted an Xbox one so i could play the newer Forza Motorsport series( seems like most people say Forza 6 is the best all around), but it also seems as if the xbox one was on life support by Microsoft since they had to make the Xbox One X with 4k and HDR just to keep up with Playstation and i hear the newer Xbox’s aren’t much more reliable than the older consoles and still suffer from hardware failures.
Is it worth it to get an Xbox one X for around $120-160, or is the series X more reliable and so much better it’s worth twice the price.
I will mainly use it as a 4k player for my DVD’s and blu ray collection for upscaling and it appears to do a good job at this. Maybe get a couple FPS games as well.
Do you think it’s really worth it to splurge on the Series X if i’m not really playing many games on it?
I have researched these questions online, but always like talking to people on lemmy, so if you have other suggestions, lemme know!
Xbox One X is still a better choice than the Xbox Series S.
Let me explain:
It has more RAM than the Series S, so Xbox One titles and backwards compatible titles will run with Xbox One X enhancements that the Series S cannot run.
It has a physical disc drive for backwards compatible titles, DVDs, Blu Rays, and 4K UHD movies. The Series S is discless.
The only downside are newer games that are exclusive to Series S/X, but really, how many are there? Cyberpunk 2077 plays on the One X.
The new Forza won’t run, but the older ones should!
Source: Put the Xbox Series X and PS5 in the living room, moved the Xbox One X and PS4 to the bedroom. Still use it!
OP didn’t ask about the Series S, but One X vs Series X.
One X, while better GPU and more RAM, doesn’t support next gen titles (of which there are a ton of that OP specifically asked about latest Forza) it also still runs the One/One S CPU which might be why it doesn’t do next gen.
Series X will impress, and more so if your display can match all the features (DV, HDR10, ALLM, VRR, 120Hz, etc)
