I've got an Xbox S and a PC. Which should I choose?!?

[Archer the Bowless]

These are my PC specs
Ryzen 7 3700X 8-core processor 3.59 ghz
Radeon RX 5700 XT

I've also got an Xbox series S.

Which would you recommend getting the game on?
Processor for PC looks good, but I'm only at Minimum for Graphics. I have RX5700 (exact minimum), and recommended is RX 6800. I can't tell how big of a deal this will be. I don't need super hi-def, but I also don't want it to look like garbage.

The series S Xbox would just be for ease of use. Turn it on and there it is, working, no PC shenanigans. I worry maybe about storage space though, or it possibly looking like poo. Will the series S struggle with this?

THANKS!

PC easier to also use mods with the PC

[Archer the Bowless]

Oh right that's true. Mods will be awesome. Hmm, but if my computer can't really run the game, mods won't matter.

Wait and see how it runs on pc. Your 5700xt is entry level for the game so I don't know what kind of performance you should expect. Wait and watch some gameplays and reviews of both consoles and entry level pc's.

My Pc will be able to run it full tilt however i want to also be able to hear stuff so i will not be running it with everything at max, that whole highest fidelity sort of over it anyway, i just want a good time sink and often that includes adding mods down the line, however some people want to push their machine with every title that is the young gamers thing in my book.

I just want a good timesink to take my mind of daily grind, and a good game with mods often does that quite well, if you feel the looks matter the most sure Xbox s, me i prefer the mods down the line.

Your computer will run the game fine. Use reasonable settings. Your RX 5700xt is more capable and powerful than an Xbox Series S.

Always PC for games like this for mods.

[Archer the Bowless]

if you buy on Steam you get the PC version, but if you buy on Xbox you get the console version and Windows store PC version, so you could get both for the price of one and just see which runs better.

Historically it's been more difficult to mod Microsoft Store PC games. But if you want PC and console experience with cross saves I'd go Xbox. I don't know if cross saves will work with Steam version.

should of used that series S money to upgrade. I got a feeling in 2 years developers will refuse to release games on series S. That POS console is holding up the industry currently....Like Baldurs gate 3 release date delayed for xbox because of that sorry ass series S. Play on PC and sell that garbage.

[XGUNNARX]

game pass.. and you can play seamlessly between them both.. unless you plan on modding

Oooo good point.. You know what though... I think I'd still just get the Steam version just to not deal with the microsoft store.

I got the S due to NBA 2k putting out different versions of the game for PC and console. Oddly enough, the PC version gets the sh!t version while only console gets the new features each year. Expensive buy just for one game? Yeah you bet! Butttttt the industry wins here, they have a monopoly on the genre so I have no choice. If I want to play an up to date NBA game it had to be on console..sigh

GTX 1650 is the most used video card according to Steam as of July 2023 report. That's about equivalent to a Series S.

Hell, even Starfield only requires an NVIDIA GeForce 1070 Ti on PC though I sure as hell wouldn't want to play potato mode.

I don't think the most popular video card is holding back the industry. I think it's an excuse.
