Xbox fans now have the Series X to add to their wish list! So, we ask, what are some of the best gift ideas in 2020? We take a look at some options that will bring a beaming grim to any Xbox gamer!
Of course, no wish list would be complete without the latest next-gen console and Microsoft has two new options for the Xbox: Series X and Series S.
The Xbox Series X is the more powerful console by two metrics, loading speed, and graphics. The Series X has more RAM and can play games at 4k while the Series S has less Ram and therefore longer loading times. The Xbox Series S also displays games at 1440p and does not have 4k specs at all. Keep in mind that not all games even offer 4k graphics but in the future, more games will have these specs available Finally, the storage capacity is simply larger for the Series X. Naturally, the Xbox Series X costs more at $500 and the Series S costs only $300. We recommend the Series X, as buying a low-tech version of a next-gen console seems counterintuitive, and this way you're getting the most out of your hard-earned dollars.
Top Rated Xbox Games
With a high critic and player rating, Assassin's Creed: Valhalla and Cyberpunk 2077 are the best games on the Xbox. This is probably the number one reason to actually want an Xbox Series X|S, is to play these two games on the next-gen gaming console. Both games will cost a AAA price of $70. While gaming can be cheap or even free, you definitely pay for what you get, and these two games are straight-up legit.
