Yes, it can. The Xbox Series X will automatically install and update games in standby mode, so you can start a download, pop out for a bit, then come back and start playing straight away!

Even better, you can manage and install games on-the-go via the Xbox mobile app. Imagine someone mentions a game while you’re out and about; instead of making a mental note to check it out, you can open the app and start downloading it to your Series X straight away.

Yes, you can buy digital games from the Xbox marketplace. Downloading digital games is convenient, but is generally more expensive than buying physical as you don’t have the option to shop around and you can’t buy second hand. 

If you want to save money, we recommend looking at our range of cheap Xbox One games before buying digital!

From a technical perspective, yes. The Xbox Series X has 12 teraflops of power across 52 CUs, while the PS5 has 10.3 teraflops across 36 CUs. In simple terms, this means that the Series X has more potential power than the PS5.

That is purely from a technical standpoint, though. In reality, there really isn’t that much to choose between the Series X and the PS5 - in fact, some outlets have reported the PS5 outperforming the Series X in some instances.

Unless you have a super high-end set-up and a sharp eye, the chances are you won’t really be able to tell the difference. All you need to know is that they both boast incredible graphics, impressive performance and a huge range of awesome games!

Despite what some might tell you, there is no definitive answer. It ultimately comes down to what you want to play and which console you feel more comfortable with.

There are definite benefits to buying a refurbished Xbox Series X if you’ve previously owned an Xbox console. You’ll get access to all of the games you previously owned and backwards compatibility with some of your old Xbox accessories, as well as the comfort of playing with a familiar controller.

One reason you might consider switching to a PS5 console is the PlayStation’s strong exclusive game line-up, with games like God of War, The Last of Us and the Final Fantasy VII Remake only launching on PlayStation consoles (although some of them are available on PC too).

But overall, it really does depend on your personal preference!

Yes, absolutely. The Xbox Series X is an extremely powerful console capable of handling the latest games with ease. If you want to experience top quality graphics and seamless performance, the Series X is a must-have.

The only real downside is the price tag, which is admittedly quite steep for most people. Buying a second hand Xbox Series X is one way around that problem, but you’ll need to be quick - the Series X is still in high demand, and even our stock of refurbished consoles sells quickly!

For a long time, buying an Xbox Series X felt like a mission in itself. High demand and short supply meant that Series X consoles sold almost as quickly as they came in.

While stock has now stabilised somewhat, demand is still high so that £449.99 price tag is unlikely to drop any time soon. Luckily, there is a way to get your hands on a cheap Xbox Series X - shop with musicMagpie!
