I have a PS5, but am thinking of getting one of the Xbox series consoles because there are a couple of specific games I want to play (Microsoft Flight Simulator and Lost Odyssey for the 360). Also, it would be nice to have a Gamepass machine.

I don’t mind the idea of having digital games, but I’m just curious how much of a drop the performance is from the Series X. Especially if anyone has played Flight Simulator on it. Have you regretted getting the Series S, or has it been okay?

    I’m lazy so I’ll just link to my comment on this very thread.
    I haven’t actually reinstalled MSFS since upgrading from a Series S to a Series X earlier this year, so I can’t confirm whether stuttering on the X is still a thing, but performance on the S was pretty much flawless. I didn’t install Lost Odyssey on the S back when I had it so I can’t tell, sorry!

    As for performance and graphical fidelity in other games, it will vary, and you’ll likely notice it, as did I, coming from a PS5 - especially on 1440p/4K set. As a game pass machine though, it’s really hard to beat price-to-performance wise.
