Xbox One S vs Xbox One: Time to upgrade?
Xbox One S vs Xbox One: Is it worth buying either console with Xbox One X now the most powerful console on the market? TrustedReviews has collected everything you need to know.
Xbox One S isn’t a significant upgrade over the Xbox One, but does provide some cool benefits. Owners now have access to HDR support and a 4K blu-ray player, something PS4 Pro sorely left out.
To put things simply, if you already own the original console there isn’t much incentive to upgrade. Sure, there’s the addition of HDR and 4K blu-ray support, but you’ll need an impressive 4KTV to make any use of these features.
If you don’t already own one, though, it’s definitely worth considering a purchase. However, with Xbox One X out now, it makes things a little more complicated. TrustedReviews has broken down everything you need to know about the two consoles below, for anybody considering picking it up.
Xbox One S Price: How much should you pay?
With the Xbox One now discontinued and Microsoft continuing with the two main consoles of One S and One X, the One S has become significantly cheaper. Bundles are available for as littles as £200, which could go lower in sales.
Xbox One S is 40% smaller with built-in power supply.
The Xbox One S is 40% smaller than the original – a considerable reduction. Given that the original Xbox One is a chunky machine – at 333mm x 276mm x 78mm, it dominates the comparatively slight PS4 – this is an important change. However, PS4 Slim gives Xbox One S a run for its money in terms of sheer dimensions. Plus the power supply is now built-in.
So, 40% smaller and no bulky power supply? That’s a pretty big tick in favour of the Xbox One S.
4K Ultra HD, 4K Blu-ray and High Dynamic Range support.
Arguably the standout feature for Xbox One S. Not only does the Xbox One S support 4K video playback from streaming services like Netflix and Amazon, it’s also a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player. This makes the $299/£249 starting price excellent value compared to dedicated Ultra HD players currently available.
Our testing suggests the Xbox One S is a more than competent Ultra HD Blu-ray player, so AV fans should hold no fears in that regard.
While the original Xbox One is technically capable of supporting 4K gaming and video, it has an HDMI 1.4a port, meaning it can only output 4K at 30Hz, which is very limiting. The Xbox One adds support for HDMI 2.0a, so it now supports proper 4K 60Hz output.

Xbox One S has a slight performance bump.
Much like PS4 Pro, the Xbox One S is not the beginning of a new console generation, but an expansion of a platform we already know and love. But it does offer a very slight improvement over its predecessor.
The Coalition head Rod Fergusson revealed to Polygon that his team had taken advantage of additional raw GPU and CPU power for Gears of War 4 , to improve frame rates. Ferguson claimed his engineers have been able to, as Polygon puts it, “leverage the additional power to reduce the frequency of the frame rate or resolution penalties.”
A Microsoft spokesperson then confirmed, via The Verge, “We have the same SoC architecture as Xbox One today.
“For games that want to take advantage of HDR, we gave developers access to a small amount of additional processing power.”
Overall though, don’t expect games to look noticeably different on Xbox One S to Xbox One thanks to the additional power, instead only getting minor stability improvements.
Xbox One S can upscale games to 4K.
The upscaling capabilities of the Xbox One S were revealed by Jeff Henshaw, Group Program Manager at Xbox at an E3 session .
Henshaw said: “It’s not native 4K, but the Xbox One S can upscale games from 1080p to 4K.”
It means the Xbox One S will be able to offer gaming at a higher resolution than its predecessor, although it won’t quite be as good as native 4K.
In our review, we found the Xbox One S is good at upscaling games and 4K video content – better than the TV we tested on.
It can be stored upright.
That’s great news, though the stand is an optional extra, unless you buy the 2TB model, which includes a stand.
There’s no dedicated Kinect port.
Not a huge surprise, given its increasing irrelevance, though owners who want to use Kinect can do say via a USB adapter. The adapter is sold seperately and can be ordered directly from Microsoft. Don’t expect any new Kinect games on the horizon, though.
But there is an IR blaster.
In the place of a dedicated Kinect port, the Xbox One S comes with an integrated IR (infrared) blaster. That means you can configure your Xbox One S to turn on other devices, like your TV, audio/video receiver, and cable or satellite receiver.
The idea is that you can reduce the number of remotes you need to control your stuff.
New controller adds Bluetooth.
Not content with the already excellent Xbox One controller, or the incredible Xbox One Elite Controller, Microsoft’s unveiled the Xbox One S controller as well.
The pad has a new textured grip, exchangeable colour covers, extended range and – most importantly – now has Bluetooth so you can use it with a PC wirelessly.
Xbox One S vs Xbox One: Should you upgrade?
There’s no doubt the new Xbox One S is a better all around console than its predecessor. Not only does it slim down the original console’s bulky frame, the Xbox One S comes with a load of features that make a far more desirable device.
Firstly, you get a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player. Currently, those things will cost you upwards of £400 on their own. Secondly, you can stream 4K at the proper 60 Hz in HDR from apps such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Instant Video. Plus, there’s even a slight performance boost. The console benefits from extra processing power, too.
It probably isn’t worth it for most Xbox One owners if you don’t care about 4K video, but it looks like a good upgrade if you fancy getting into Ultra HD Blu-ray. And if you don’t already own an Xbox One, the smaller size and great features make it very tempting indeed.
But what about Xbox One X?
While at the tail end of 2016 the choice between the two consoles seemed like a no-brainer, as we move closer the the supposed “holiday 2017” launch date of the Xbox One X, the proposition becomes even trickier. There’s still so much we don’t know about Microsoft’s all-powerful machine – most importantly, how much it will cost – but the fact this unit will represent a significant upgrade over anything that has come before it means that the idea of buying an Xbox One as a first-time buyer now becomes a bit of a tough sell.
With Microsoft fully unveiling the Xbox One X at E3, it’s now easier decide whether you’re willing to wait for the next big thing.

Roguevania Dead Cells Coming Soon to Xbox One.
Dead Cells is a mash-up, a veritable Frankenstein’s monster of a game, which pretty much makes me Dr. Frankenstein, which is nice. We’re trying to wed the randomness, replayability, and adrenaline pumping threat of permadeath that you find in a rogue-lite, (think Binding of Isaac, Enter the Gungeon, Rogue Legacy, etc.) with the anticipation of exploration, the thrill of discovering a secret and the progressive unlocking of a world that you find in Metroidvania games (think Ori and the Blind Forest, Guacamelee, Axiom Verge, etc.). The main inspiration for the game is Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, which you might have noticed from the pixel art. But wait, there's more! The.

What is 4K?
Watch the video Set up 4K and HDR. Note This video is available in English only.
4K is a resolution for your TV. Technically called 4K UHD (or 4K Ultra HD, or 4K Ultra High Definition), it packs in four times as many pixels as a 1080p HDTV. This makes for a sharper, more detailed picture.
To watch in 4K and its companion video technology, HDR (high dynamic range), you must have a 4K TV and either an Xbox One X or Xbox One S console.
Native 4K vs. 4K upscaling.
When you set your console resolution to 4K UHD, everything on the console—Home, games, and apps—will display at 4K. On Xbox One X, 4K content is displayed in its native 4K resolution, and other content (like games encoded for 1080p) is upscaled to 4K. Games on Xbox One S also get upscaled to 4K. While typically smoother and more detailed than native 720p or 180p, upscaled 4K is not as rich and detailed as native 4K.
To set your resolution and upscale everything to 4K, press the Xbox button to open the guide, go to System > Settings > Display & sound > Video output . For TV resolution , select 4K UHD .
4K in games and apps.
You don't have to set your console resolution to 4K to play 4K content. You can set your console to another resolution, such as 1080p, and when a game or app requires 4K (and your TV supports the 4K mode it wants), it'll automatically switch to 4K. This is good if you want to play 1080p content in its native resolution, but also take advantage of the 4K resolution when playing 4K content.
To set your resolution to a lower resolution but switch to 4K when 4K content is played:
Open the guide and go to System > Settings > Display & sound > Video output and then make sure TV resolution is set to 720p or 1080p . Select Advanced video settings and make sure Allow 4K is checked.

What's the difference between Xbox One and Xbox One S?
At first glance, it would seem there are quite a few Xbox One consoles from which to choose, but here are a few important things to consider. There are differences between the Xbox One and Xbox One S including:
Design: Xbox One S is nearly 40 percent smaller and the power supply is built in. The power supply on the Xbox One is rather bulky. Connectivity: Xbox One S features upgraded AC wireless, a built-in IR blaster and Bluetooth 4.0, a key component to its new controllers that feature a textured grip, exchangeable covers and improved range. Performance: Xbox One S features a small CPU clock upgrade and HDMI 2.0 support for 4K upscaling and high-dynamic range. This isn t a true 4K gaming setup because 1080p games are just upscaled to 4K, but the results are still quite impressive.
Note: With the IR blaster, you can program your Xbox One S controllers to work with all your home cinema equipment.
Also, consider buying a bundle. If you have a particular interest in a franchise such as Call of Duty or Madden , you might want to grab a bundle that features the franchise's latest release and, in some cases, a special, collector's edition console. It's a great way to show off your loyalty and celebrate your favorite game.
Backward compatibility.
Remember Xbox 360? Well, you can play more than 350 Xbox 360 games on Xbox One.
Experience both generations of games on one console, including digital and disc-based titles, with advanced features like Game DVR and in-home streaming to Windows 10. You can keep all your game saves, add ons and hard-earned achievements from Xbox 360.
With an Xbox live gold membership, you can participate in multiplayer games and chat with friends across Xbox One and Xbox 360. Xbox Live Gold isn't required for Xbox One Backward Compatibility, but it's required for any standard Xbox Live Gold feature like online multiplayer. Games with Gold titles for Xbox 360 are now playable on Xbox One, giving you more free games to play every month when you own an Xbox One.
Xbox Live unites gamers across Xbox One and Windows 10, so you can play with friends and connect with a massive community of players around the world. You can unlock achievements, share game highlights and more. Stay on top of all the action, see what your friends are playing, follow your favorite games, start a party chat and check out what's currently trending. Plus, you can take your games and friends with you everywhere you go.
With Xbox Play Anywhere, if you have an Xbox Play Anywhere digital title, you can play it on both an Xbox One and a Windows 10 PC at no extra cost. Play a game, then pick up where you left off on another Xbox One or PC. Bring all your saves, game add-ons and achievements with you because you can play from wherever you happen to be.
Xbox entertainment: More than games.
There's a lot more to do with your Xbox One console than play games. You can find the best apps, TV, movies, music and sports all in one place. With Xbox One, you can switch around from one to another, or enjoy an app such as MLB.TV or ESPN and a game side by side so you never miss a moment. You can also talk with family and friends on Skype while watching TV. It s all the entertainment you love in one place.
With Walmart's Every Day Low Prices, you can get more out of your Xbox One for less.

The Good Microsoft's Xbox One offers impressive graphics and a solid list of exclusive 2015 titles. The Microsoft console currently edges ahead of the PS4 with a better selection of media apps. The console's fall-2015 dashboard update is a noticeable improvement. The console has backward compatibility with around 100 Xbox 360 titles, and that list is poised to grow.
The Bad The Xbox One's new interface is still more convoluted than the PS4's. In general, the PS4 delivers slightly better installation times, graphics and performance on cross-platform games. The Xbox One also lags behind the PS4 in its selection of indie games. The Kinect's legacy is still a blemish.
The Bottom Line While the PS4 remains our overall preferred choice in the game console race, the Xbox One's significant course corrections and solid exclusives make it a compelling alternative.
Review Sections.
CNET Gaming Consoles Microsoft Xbox One.
With E3 2015 safely in the rearview mirror and the Xbox One's second anniversary fast approaching, we're diving back in the home console pond to take the temperature of the current landscape of videogame consoles.
Without a doubt, the Xbox One has gone through the more significant metamorphosis of the two big consoles since their release in November 2013 -- the other being the PlayStation 4. Even before its launch, Microsoft had begun changing the messaging philosophy of the platform, going from a console that heavily relied on DRM to an unshackled experience where owners can trade in and play used games. That was followed up by making the Kinect motion sensor no longer a required part of the system (the no-Kinect bundle is now the default entry-level model).
Meanwhile, a lot has been fine-tuned under the Xbox One's hood -- particularly the firmware's functionality (not actual hardware tweaks), which, from a performance and ease-of-use standpoint, is still playing second to Sony's impressively smooth interface. A massive interface update dubbed the "New Xbox One Experience" was released in November 2015 that has improved some of the dashboard's logistics and aesthetics, but it's still hanging on to some lingering frustrations. But more on that later.
Overall, Xbox One has had a great 2015 and is home to the best exclusives of the 2015 holiday season. In the short term, Xbox One makes a solid argument for ownership, but do 2016 and beyond look to be just as promising?
To be clear, the two consoles are very closely matched. They offer a growing library of third-party games -- mainstays like the Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed and Madden series, as well as newer titles like Fallout 4 and Rainbow Six Siege are all available for both platforms. And both systems double as full-service entertainment systems, with built-in Blu-ray players and streaming services like Netflix, YouTube and Hulu.
In our opinion, the PS4 still maintains an edge, with slightly smoother gameplay and a much more straightforward interface. But Xbox harbors a more mature media app ecosystem in the US and a decent list of exclusive titles. Xbox One will continue to have a solid 2015 in terms of exclusive software, but 2016 and beyond aren't as well defined.
Editors' note, November 16, 2015 : This review has been updated to reflect the changes to the Xbox One platform including the November 12, 2015, New Xbox One Experience dashboard update. The console's overall score has improved from a 7.7 to an 8 and we've added one point to the design and value subcategories.
Xbox One bundles.
Xbox One is sold in what feels like a constantly expanding bundle market. In fact, don't buy the console if it doesn't come with at least one game. At any given time the odds are there's a bundle that includes a game that's right for you.
For the most part, the Kinect camera-microphone array has been eliminated from bundles, but you can still purchase the original tandem for around $400 or more. Alternately, you can buy the Kinect module separately (usually with a game included) for $150. That said, we really can't recommend Kinect for much of anything.
No matter when you decide to buy an Xbox One, odds are you'll find a compelling bundle or discounted special pricing.
Major Xbox One exclusive games (available now or soon):
- Forza Motorsport 6.
- Rise of the Tomb Raider (timed exclusive)
- Halo: Master Chief Collection.
- Titanfall (also available on PC)

Xbox One pros.
Here are the areas where the Xbox One excels -- and where it occasionally has an edge over the PS4:
Media apps.
The Xbox One has a slightly better lineup of streaming apps than any other current-generation console. It has roughly twice as many offerings as the PS4. Some notable wins here include Comedy Central, Fox and FX Now, MTV, Bravo Now, NBC, Starz, TED, USA Now, Verizon FiOS TV and Skype (Microsoft-owned) -- none of which are available on PlayStation 4 at the current time. Xbox One is also home to EA Access, a subscription early-access program that gives members a chance to play games a few days before they're released and provides access to a growing list of EA legacy games.
Media playback.
Xbox One now has a media player app that will play nearly any file format you throw at it -- off a drive or anything discoverable on your home network, like another PC or NAS (network attached storage). The Xbox One media app also lets you customize the dashboard with a custom photo wallpaper. As of June 2015, the PS4 has a media player app too.
Kinect advantages.
Kinect is an ambitious attempt to integrate voice control and motion gesturing with live TV, interface navigation and some gaming elements. That said, it's definitely taken a backseat in terms of priority. In fact, we don't think Microsoft even said the word "Kinect" at the company's E3 2015 press conference. It's also no longer bundled with a new retail Xbox One.
But, if you're still intrigued by its potential, when it works, Kinect technology brings with it an "aha" moment straight out of a sci-fi movie. Kinect lets you change the channel, volume and other items using only your voice. Its problems, however, are documented later in this review.
Other features of the Xbox One experience can be accessed or activated with hand gestures and voice commands. You can say, "Xbox, record that," and the console will save the last chunk of gameplay to the hard drive. The list of voice-control triggers is lengthy.
Of course, the Kinect is available only in the more expensive $400-and-up Xbox One bundle. However, if you buy the entry-level no-Kinect bundle and decide you want to upgrade, you can buy a standalone Kinect later for $149, £130 or AU$170 (usually bundled with a game).

The Xbox One controller.
While it's not necessarily what I'd call a vast improvement over the Xbox 360's stellar input device, the Xbox One's controller is a solid and mostly comfortable handheld.
Microsoft has totally revamped the problematic D-pad present on the Xbox 360 controller and opted instead for a clicky, tactile pad. Battery life is impressive on the controller, though it takes two AAs as opposed to the DualShock 4's internal rechargeable battery. (You can use your own rechargeables, or invest an extra $25, £19 or AU$30 per controller in Microsoft's Play and Charge Kit.)
Microsoft debuted two new controllers around the time of E3 2015: a revamped controller with a 3.5mm headphone port and the Xbox One Elite Wireless Controller ($150/AU$199) which allows players to customize their pad with interchangeable D-pad pieces, analog sticks and triggers. That controller is also available in a bundle with a 1TB solid-state hybrid drive for $500.
Both controllers can also be connected to a Windows PC with a Micro-USB cable or wirelessly to a Windows 10 PC with a $25 dongle.

BYO USB 3.0 storage.
The PS4 has an easily accessible and replaceable hard drive, but the Xbox One's drive is not to be messed with. Instead, you can bring your own storage via an external hard drive over a USB 3.0 connection. And because USB 3.0 is faster than the Xbox One's internal stock drive, odds are you may see a slight bump in performance, too. Just make sure your external drive is 250GB or bigger.
Cloud-synced game saves.
Signing into any other Xbox One will give you access to all of your digital games and their respective game-saves. PS4 owners need to have PlayStation Plus to upload cloud saves, while Xbox One owners can do it without Xbox Live Gold.
For what it's worth, the cloud game-saving feature is definitely better on Xbox One. Going from console to console is a much smoother experience.
Gold no longer required for basically everything.
It took a while, but an Xbox Live Gold membership is no longer needed to access apps like Netflix and Skype. You still need it to play multiplayer games online, but the massive restrictions on other functionality have mostly been lifted.
Always-on has a bright side.
While the Xbox One's always-on feature has been a point of some contention, jumping right into a game from live TV is nothing short of brilliant. Xbox One will suspend your most recently played game while you watch TV or do other things and when you rejoin your game session it's resurrected with absolutely no loading time. Of course, if you don't use your Xbox One with live TV there's really no reason to keep the console on 24-7, save for receiving updates when you're not using the console.
PlayStation 4 added the majority of the functionality described here with a firmware update.
Exclusive games and content.
Microsoft has secured a number of high-profile exclusive deals for content with third-party games like Evolve and early beta access to a number of games including Tom Clancy's The Division.
Xbox One also has a solid roster of exclusive franchises including the Forza, Halo, Fable, and now the Sunset Overdrive and Titanfall series. A more detailed list of exclusives can be found at the top of this review.
Xbox Games with Gold.
While it debuted with an underwhelming selection of free titles, Xbox's Games with Gold monthly giveaway lets Xbox Live Gold members download two Xbox One games for free. The caliber of these titles has started to improve, but still isn't as impressive as the entire PlayStation Plus package.

Set up live TV with your Xbox One X, Xbox One S, or original Xbox One console.
This page describes the requirements for using OneGuide on Xbox One X, Xbox One S, or the original Xbox One, so you can access TV service from your console. It also describes how to configure your Xbox One X, Xbox One S, or original Xbox One console to control your TV, audio receiver, and set-top box.
The first time you launch the TV app, the console will walk you through the steps described below. If you want to set up live TV later, you can select Live TV Setup from the Entertainment hub. Or, if you want to change any of your hardware settings after initial setup, you can do so by selecting TV & OneGuide from System > Settings .
Note Channel information in OneGuide is not available in all regions. You can still use HDMI pass-through to view TV content through Xbox One, but OneGuide will not show your TV listings. For a list of Xbox One features and the regions where they're available, see Xbox One Feature Availability.
On this page.
To use OneGuide with your TV and Xbox One, you need the following:
A cable or satellite set-top box with HDMI output, or an Xbox One USB TV Tuner. A connection to Xbox Live to download channel lineup information for OneGuide. A Kinect sensor or an IR emitter cable.
Before setting up OneGuide, confirm that your console is correctly connected to your home theater system and is ready for live TV.
Select Live TV Setup from the Entertainment hub. You'll be asked a series of questions in order to complete your TV setup. On the Watch TV on your Xbox screen, select either Set up your cable or satellite box or Set up your USB TV tuner . This depends on the source of your TV signal.
The Let’s watch TV screen will try to detect an HDMI-in signal. If the source of your HDMI signal shows up on the picture of the TV screen, select Next to continue and skip to step 5. If the source of your HDMI signal doesn’t appear, go on to step 4.
If you don’t see the source of your HDMI signal displayed on the picture of the TV screen, you’ll have to verify that your console is receiving a signal from your set-top box:
Confirm that your set-top box is connected by HDMI cable to the HDMI port on your console. If, after a few seconds, you don't get live TV on your Xbox screen, see You see a black screen or experience poor video quality when watching TV with Xbox One. Once live TV appears, select Next . On the Let’s set up OneGuide screen, select Next to begin the setup of your cable or satellite TV provider’s channel guide. Follow the steps below to help your console learn how to control your cable or satellite set-top box.
Enter your postal code and select Next to find TV providers in your area. From the dropdown menu, select your cable or satellite TV provider.
You can configure all of the devices in your home theater system to respond to " Hey Cortana, Xbox on " and other voice commands by enabling your Xbox One console to control your TV when prompted.
Note Voice commands are not available in all regions. For details, see Xbox One Feature Availability.
On the Pick your start setting screen, you’ll be asked to decide which screen your console will start from when first turned on. Select one of the two options, and then select Next to continue:
On start, go to Home. This option will display Home when you first power on your console. On start, go to TV. This option will display live TV when you first power on your console.
If your TV provider isn't listed, it might not be compatible with OneGuide at this time. Channel lineup and specific show information are currently not available in all regions. For more information about finding your TV provider, see our TV Hardware Information forums.
It's easy to make changes to your configuration after you've set it up. Here's how:
Press the Xbox button to open the guide. Select System > Settings . Select TV & OneGuide . Update the settings that you want to change.
To watch TV with OneGuide, say " Hey Cortana, watch TV ," or select Live TV from the Entertainment hub.
