Game Pass on Xbox One X vs Xbox Series S

Fyi the xbox series s/x has no one in it

This is to reduce the confusion between series s/x and one when it comes to.compatibility

Only the xbox one s all digital is the only xbox one that isn't compatible with discs

However there is no limitation as far as xbox one other then the digital only console as far as xbox one games goes

Vs the series x /s they are backward with xbox one and with the series s limitation as far as discs goes

Series x consoles are NOT xbox ones

They ate just xbox series x or s

It's to avoid confusion xbox one games are compatible with xbox one all versions except for disk games on digital and can use hdds

Vs series consoles all digital series content work on series consoles

But disk games work only on disk consoles and next gen storage

Unfortunately Game Pass is only available for the Xbox One and Xbox series X|S.

The Series X is physically larger than the Series S and has a disc drive where the Series S does not. The X will be more powerful and run games in true 4K.

It's important to know which game your friend bought.

I say this because there are currently three versions of the Series X/S game. Gta 5 Online, Gta 5 Series X/S and Grand Theft Auto V (Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S).

If he has purchased Grand Theft Auto V (Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S), which gives access to the game for Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X, he can play online with you as long as he downloads the Xbox One version, so you and he will have the same save and can play online.

If he is a Game Pass Ultimate subscriber he can download the game in the Xbox One version and play with you.
