I was an Xbox fanboy and recently got the PS5. I do not dislike the Xbox as it is a fantastic console, however, I doubt I will ever go back to one. The Series X and PS5 are both insanely powerful consoles so you really cannot go wrong with either one. In your case, since your friends all have PS, I’d go with the PS5.

Honestly (and this is coming from someone who owns a series s and doesn’t have a ps5) it sounds like the ps5 would be a better investment for you. Other than the storage option and the disk drive you would run into your same problems with friends ps parties and not playing those ps exclusives with the series x like you had with the s. This is again coming from someone with an Xbox but both are really just vessels for gamepass just one is better than the other. You can get gamepass on your pc so do that. Get yourself a shiny new ps5 and get your physicals, your exclusives and most importantly have fun with your friends my dude. Not financial advice

If friends are important. Keep the series s. And get ps5?

If you have a PC capable of playing modern games, then PS5 (as well as Switch but realize you didn't ask that) have the most value as games are not available on those platforms for PC.

At least from my perspective, Xbox is best if its going to be main/only platform to play games (or your like me and like the backwards compatibility/enhancements) since its cost-effective.

I’ve recently switched form PS to Xbox series X and wont be going back to PS. Even with all my mates having a PS this haven’t stopped us playing together and I just love the game pass and currently don’t miss a single thing from the PS.

My advice would be think of what you want… if you want great exclusives go for the PS (although Xbox have some decent stuff coming soon) and if you just want a great work horse with game pass the Xbox is the choice

FIFA 23 is already cross platform (has to be the same generation of consoles though) but looks like 2K won’t have this (may have something to do with Sony charging companies to allow for crossplay as revealed in the Epic vs Apple case) and Xbox already has Discord working on the platform. Either is a good choice but perhaps go with what your friends have.

You already have a series s and a PC, and all your friends are on PS5 - seems like you could have it all if you got a PS5.

Xbox because game pass just exists, better controllers, better storage, more exclusives and a better cost.

Ps5 for me but in Slim version. Current ps5 is hideous

The size isn't a big deal. I have enough space on my desk. But i like the simple design of the xbox more.

PC can do everything and Xbox can and more. Get the PlayStation.

I'd take the xbox. Personally based on what you have said but it's up to you
