week in years for gamers across the globe, as both Microsoft and Sony are releasing their next generation of consoles. A console is only as good as the games that are available on it, so here are (almost) all the Xbox Series S and X games rounded up.<\/p>\n<p>At the launch of the previous generation devices, the PlayStation 4 dominated the Xbox One in terms of horse power. You\u2019d often see games running in lower resolutions, or at worse framerates, on the Microsoft console. The power difference was corrected with the launch of the Xbox One X back in 2017. Microsoft proudly proclaimed that the One X was the most powerful console on the market, and games did indeed run a lot better on the One X compared to its competition.<\/p>\n<p>This generation, Microsoft is coming out of the gates with a split <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1327406 lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"3054\" height=\"1943\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3054px) 100vw, 3054px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2020\/11\/xboxes.jpg\" data-lazy=\"true\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2020\/11\/xboxes.jpg 3054w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2020\/11\/xboxes-280x178.jpg 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2020\/11\/xboxes-424x270.jpg 424w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2020\/11\/xboxes-212x135.jpg 212w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2020\/11\/xboxes-796x506.jpg 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2020\/11\/xboxes-1592x1013.jpg 1592w\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>On the low end, it\u2019s launching the Xbox Series S (pictured on the left), a $299 console made for 1080p screens. We haven\u2019t gotten our hands on the Series S yet, but it looks cute and seems to do what it says on the tin. Be wary of the smaller HDD though, it only has 362GB of storage available, which could become a problem down the line.<\/p>\n<p>The storage space is expandable but it\u2019ll come at a price, as all these new consoles rely on expensive NVMe SSD hard drives. These are amazing for load times, but a 1TB upgrade will set you back $220, which is more than the price difference between the Series S and the Series X.<\/p>\n<p>On the high-end, there\u2019s the $599 Xbox Series X. A fat little tower that is eight times more powerful than the Xbox One X <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/2020\/02\/24\/what-you-can-expect-next-generation-gaming\/?ocid=Platform_soc_omc_xbo_tw_Video_lrn_2.24.3\">according to Microsoft<\/a>. We\u2019ve had our hands on the final hardware for a couple of weeks now and you can read Rachel\u2019s full review here, but the tl;dr is that this console is an absolute beast. Like the PS5, it packs a one terabyte hard drive, that should have enough space for most consumers.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, there are not a lot of games available at launch for these new Xbox consoles. It\u2019s all ports of games that are available on the old consoles, running at higher resolution and with higher graphical fidelity.

You can read my full review here.<\/p>\n<p>Compared even with the PC release, the Series X version of the game has so much more visual bloom. It\u2019s locked at 60FPS, which makes the combat feel even more snappy.

Departing a little from the series tradition, <em>Like a Dragon\u00a0<\/em>is an RPG starring new protagonist Ichiban and a cadre of colorful companions. It\u2019s an easy point of entry even if you\u2019re not a series fan.<\/p>\n<p>The next-gen offering gives you the option of playing in different modes for high framerates, high resolution, or an in-between \u201cnormal\u201d mode that compromises on both.
