I played the training mission on my XBOX ALLY (White model) and had a blast with new mechanics. Playing on 720p using FSR 4 and quality with low was still good on a 55inch 4K TV.

@Coletrain great to hear you’re enjoying you Ally and I bet you’ve been tempted with the XBOX ALLY on offer at Amazon recently for £310! Best price to performance handheld trumping any handheld 👍🏻

@Coletrain I’m the same! I’ve just discovered I can connect my XBOX ALLY White to my 27inch QHD monitor and playing Gears Reloaded in 1080p 50fps and FH5 in 1440p low settings at 45-50fps and loving it!

It feels magical to play an XBOX handheld connected to a Monitor and get the full gaming experience paired with an XBOX controller.

I love my Switch 2 but this is up there! And to think the White ALLY always gets so much hate.

Shame this won’t be coming to Switch. I’d have loved a Gears of Switch, but my XBOX Ally (Z2A) will get a workout with E-Day

Hello beautiful 😍😍😍

I’m keen to play on my XBOX Ally (white version), as FH4 was really impressive in 40fps with VRR.

@Hapless here’s £800 and call me in the morning if it’s any good 😋😇

@StonyKL the game ain’t bad but gets tiresome rather quickly. I think if your playing with your mates over voice chat and some beers, it’ll be more fun.

@Krzzystuff was included in PS+ for a month and thereafter £16

Cliffs B is a legend and one of the reasons the XBOX 360 was a success with Gears of War.

Microsoft initially wanted only 256Mb of RAM for the system, but Cliffy pushed hard to champion 512Mb and the rest is history.

I downloaded the app and was playing Doom Eternal and Forza Horizon 4 on my iPhone via the XBOX ONE X.

It’s awesome it works and very smoothly! Downside is going from playing on a 55inch 4K TV to a 6inch iPhone just doesn’t give a great experience. No fault of the service, just my own personal comments.

@JayJ couldn’t agree more and spending over £500 on a machine when the XBOX ONE X already delivers 4K gaming and will do for years to come, makes Microsoft’s new machine a hard sell.

@Menchi I bought my XBOX ONE X for Forza Horizon 4 and Red Dead Redemption 2, which I still play on to the day, and the 4K really made a difference on my 55inch 4K TV.

4K is simply ace!

Not worse, but Bioshock 2 was not a patch on the Original.

@LX_FENIX well said 👍🏻

@endlessleep I’d expect in 3 years the Series X in the same shape as S for £299, with a more Powerful XS to boot.

@BAMozzy playing Doom Eternal in 4K on my XBOX ONE X and never finding loading times that bad. Totally agree with your comments.

I’m defo looking forward to faster loading times.

@mehrannaseer brilliant comments and people forget when you drop £70 on a digital game it’s worthless to anyone else, once you’ve finished it.

Example is Godfall, you buy Physical edition and after a month trade in for £30-£40, putting towards another game. On Digital, this simply doesn’t work

Being an XBOX ONE X owner I’m keen to see comparisons of Series S and X, as I don’t have space for an X in my setup and S is perfect size.

I’m keen to see if Horizon 4 looks better on Series S than XBOX ONE X, as on XOX its quite possibly the best car game I’ve ever played

@BAMozzy you’ve sold it to me 👍🏻

@Tharsman I feel your pain and hope Microsoft can gift you a Series X, to ease your loading pains 😀👍🏻

@BlueOcean good observations @tharsman

Whilst these videos are interesting, do people really mind that much about the initial loading times.

Take Red Dead Redemption 2, ok it’s over 1 min 36 seconds starting up on XBOX ONE X, compared to 36 seconds on Series X, but spending £450 on a new console needs to do more than this?

@Darylb88 good comments and I’ve pre-ordered a Series S but feeling it’ll be a downgrade from ONE X 😢

Seriously considering keeping my XBOX ONE X, as it’ll be supported for another 2 years. Unless I upgrade to the Series X (won’t fit inside my TV cabinet) the Series S feels like a downgrade from 4K 😢 I’m keen to see how XBOX ONE games run on Series S

It’s less run and gun, with more puzzle and platform elements thrown in. But when the fighting begins its awesome and I prefer to Doom 2016.

On XBOX ONE X at 4K/60fps it’s insane and honestly will be hard to be topped even on Series X!

Anyone with a XBOX ONE X should download Doom Eternal. In 4K 60fps you don’t need a Series X.

Different pacing from Doom 2016 but such a brilliant game! Time to RIP & TEAR

I’ve been playing on XBOX ONE X, with a 55inch 4K TV and Doom Eternal is hell on Earth!

Radically different to Doom 2016, with puzzles and platforms to overcome but an incredible FPS experience.

Who needs a Series X when you’ve got a ONE X 🙊

Brilliant article and makes perfect sense 👍🏻

Does anyone know how 1440p gaming works for people without TV’s that specifically support that NATIVE resolution?

Will it just say 4K in the machine settings and then downscale to 1440p?

@NotoriousWhiz you echo my comments exactly! I wonder how many customers are buying the S based on its size, as it’s a MAJOR factor for me.

@sixrings I share your thoughts as an XBOX ONE X owner.

The Series S still tempts me, but couldn’t go back to playing XBOX ONE X games in their S variants on the Series S! What would be the point?

@AJDarkstar my TV is LG 55SK8000PLB and has a 120hz panel.

It feels like 120fps at 1440p might only be for people with PC monitors.

@Dezzy70 sadly my TV is only HDMI 2.0 and will only go up to 4K 60fps, which my XBOX ONE X already supports..

I’m interested in 1440p 120fps on Series S, and if it’s achievable on a standard 4K TV with HDMI 2.0?

As an XBOX ONE X owner looking to buy a Series S any thoughts?

Would games still look as good with better performance and any alternatives to converting disc games to digital?

@Z3u5000 good comments and as an XBOX ONE X owner, I’m now tempted to go for the Series S as the X is too big.

It’d be interesting to see if games like RDR2 could now run at 1440p 60fps on Series S.

Anyone know if 1440p 120fps will work on 2.0 HDMI 4K TV?
