Xbox Series X: Secret Features PS5 Pro Lacks
9 Nov
Summary
- Xbox Series X features Smart Delivery for automatic game version selection.
- Quick Resume on Xbox Series X allows instant game suspension and resumption.
- Xbox Game Pass offers day-one access to first-party titles and PC play.
The PS5 Pro currently holds the title of the most powerful game console. However, the Xbox Series X distinguishes itself with unique features that the PS5 Pro lacks. One such feature is Smart Delivery, which automatically downloads the optimal version of a game for the console, streamlining the experience and managing saves across generations.
The Xbox Series X also offers Quick Resume, a standout feature allowing users to suspend up to three games simultaneously and return to them instantly, even after the console has been powered off. This offers unparalleled convenience compared to the PS5's single-game suspension, which requires reloading.
Another significant advantage for the Xbox Series X is its Game Pass subscription service. Game Pass grants day-one access to Microsoft's first-party titles and supports play on PC and Windows handheld devices, a perk not matched by Sony's PS Plus. The Xbox Series X also boasts more extensive backwards compatibility, supporting a vast number of older Xbox titles.
Additionally, Microsoft's disc-to-digital program allows Xbox owners to create digital licenses for physical games, ensuring library continuity. While the PS5 Pro has more storage, the Xbox Series X provides a simpler method for storage expansion using licensed cards.
