Xbox Series X
More graphics throughput than the standard PS5, and the natural choice if a subscription library is the point.
Best for
- Subscription-led play
- Backwards compatibility
- Buyers who still want a disc drive
Watch out
US disc MSRP $799.99 from 1 August 2026. UK post-hike: disc £669.99, digital £619.99. Raw SSD throughput is well under half the PS5's. Microsoft sunset the 2TB Galaxy Black edition with that 1 August 2026 hike — leftover or refurbished stock only, not a current 1TB-disc substitute.
Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition
The 25th-anniversary Series X: same 12TF/1TB hardware in translucent OG-green, at the standard $799.99 ERP — a collector's pick, not a performance pick.
Best for
- Xbox collectors
- Anniversary nostalgia
- Buyers who missed the 2TB Galaxy Black
Watch out
Cosmetic edition of the standard Series X — buy on availability and price versus the regular $799.99 disc model, not on specs. Listed sold out at launch window (Nov 2026); pre-release $899.99 leaks were wrong.
