Is an upgrade to an Xbox Series X worth it for MSFS

series x has more storage space and more powerful apu for graphics

MSFS is more dependent on net speed and bandwidth, you will get better graphics and be able to play in 4K, other than that then no difference. if it crashes on series s then it will on series x as they both use the same software and OS.

if you ever think about PC on the other hand you can get much better quality graphics and even play in VR.

HELP....

Retired, Senior, pilot (Airline Transport Pilot ATP), trying to safely fly (VR) yet again. My Age restricts actual flying, but the heart misses the love of flying..

I would greatly appreciate any good advice on starting (buying) MSFS 2020 (or newer entrance when available).

My best guess!!! A purchase of "VR Meta 3" 512 gbappears the best, and XBOX X 1TB... but, I don't know..

Any advice.. I want to fly the single engine and light twin aircraft yet again.

Thanks for any and all input.. Don't want to attempt and only end up with a pile of hardware and wires sitting in the corner of a room. please help.

Thanks, Fred

Hi, I'm Luis a Xbox user just like you. Thanks for reaching out us here.

Performance wise there should not be any difference since both versions were optimized for each console.

The main difference would be the resolution. So if that is a game changer for you I think it would be worth it

I am really looking forward to this series X, i am still running on an original Xbox One myself, i was looking to upgrade to a new system myself and then right before i was going to make the purchase they announced the series x, Decided it was worth it
to wait!

Not really...

Xbox Series X games / upgrades / updates has to be installed onto the Series X internal or expansion card SSD,

You can have Xbox One games on your external hard drive that will get an Series X upgrade but the games will need to be transferred to the Series X and then the Series X upgrade will need to be downloaded onto the Series X SSD,

As an example...

I have Marvel Avengers on my external hard drive that will get the Series X upgrade and I will transfer the game over to the Series X SSD ready to download and update the game to the Series X version when available.
