This is why Xbox has it’s games available as both current gen console editions and then next gen console editions

Yes, huge upgrade, the series S is next gen, and runs 4K (most people seem to think it can’t, but there is an option in video settings) smooth frame rates and a compact hardware design , storage space is not as big as the series X but buying an external hard drive is easy and pretty affordable, so yes definitely an upgrade from a PS4

I think you just got a shit one if yours can’t

The play station 5 price is way above the series S even after buying an external drive

True, but halo, forza and cyberpunk as well as a few others do run 4K , all Xbox exclusives do,

It really depends on the game though, while certain games I totally agree, more mainstream games like call of duty, battlefield, need for speed, and even cyberpunk, run extremely well at 60 fps with max graphics

It can run 4K there’s an option for it in video settings, and I have no problems, maybe your confusing it with the 1 S

No overheating, frames are constant, runs 4K, crashes as much as series x (very little). Amazing system for its price

So the best choice is sticking to Xbox, you keep your games, and the series x is technologically better than the PS5 , and if you can’t afford that, buy a series s, it’s really good and affordable
