In the gaming landscape, Microsoft’s Xbox Series X stands out as a prestigious console that not only helps gamers get the most out of their games, but also offers significant savings. In August 2020, the latest version of the new Xbox Series X update was released, with exciting new features that can help gamers along their gaming journey while also drastically reducing the total cost of ownership.
The new update adds support for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox All Access, allowing gamers to access over 100 games for a single monthly fee. With Microsoft’s Xbox All Access, gamers can pick up an Xbox Series X and pay for it in monthly installments (including Xbox Live Gold and Game Pass Ultimate). This reduces the total cost for a console and subscription by as much as two thirds and makes gaming far more affordable for the average person.
Another major feature of the update is Quick Resume. With Quick Resume, gamers can pick up their games where they left off, on different devices and accounts. This means that if you’re playing on a console and need to switch to the PC, you’ll be able to resume your game exactly where you left off. Not only does this feature allow gamers to access their games across different platforms, but it also eliminates the need to purchase multiple copies of the same game.
The new Xbox Series X also includes expanded backward compatibility. This means that old Xbox titles and popular titles from earlier consoles, such as the Xbox 360, are compatible with the new Xbox Series X. This not only allows gamers to access games they may have missed out on, but also cuts down on their expenses, as they won’t have to buy new titles to catch up with their friends or keep up with the latest gaming releases.
In short, the new Xbox Series X update can save gamers hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars over the course of their gaming journey. Whether it’s through lower upfront costs, access to more content, or expanded backward compatibility, the Xbox Series X update is designed to make gaming not just more accessible, but more affordable too.
