Would I get a smoother gaming experience on Xbox Series X?

The Dark Honor · Apr 24, 2022

I've been happily playing on an original Xbox One since 2014 and haven't felt the need for any newer consoles. However, I love playing Fallout 4 with mods and lately the poor thing is having a hard time running the game and is crashing a lot. If anyone plays Fallout 4 and knows what I'm talking about then for me the area around Diamond City especially has guaranteed crashes after a certain amount of time and even Cambridge. No crashes in interior cells. The crashes don't seem to be due to any mod conflicts because the console's fan sometimes gets louder if I try to start up the game again right away, indicating that the game overheats the console a lot and then crashes. Other games seem to overheat the console too if there's a lot of loading, but no crashes. Fallout 4, on the other hand, starts stuttering and then either freezes or crashes.

My question is, would I get a smoother experience on an Xbox Series X? No more overheating and crashes? Additionally, if anyone could also share their Fallout 4 experiences on Xbox Series X, that would be great too.

Hi there! This is Ronnie, your fellow Xbox gamer.

Nice to meet you and I hope you are having a great day!

I understand you need help on the Xbox problem.

I believe that playing on the Xbox Series X is much better when it comes to performance because it has better graphics card and can play the games on higher resolution.

It is definitely smoother to play the game on the Series X. I have been playing the system without any issues so far for a year now.

Hope that helps you with your choice.

Your Xbox series X supports 1440p @ 60hz. However, you can only use it if your monitor supports it. If you're playing in 1440p I would personally recommend the 120hz for smoother gameplay experience.

As with the Xbox One X, games that are Enhanced for this specific console will be rendered in 4K, and then downscaled to 1080p, which will result in much smoother and better looking graphics than "directly" rendered 1080p.

So with the Series X you would get the best 1080p graphics.

Yes it will run at 30 fps on the Series X as well.

The Series X has a number of other advantages over the Series S, not just a higher resolution. The Series X has 6GB more RAM than the Series S and more capable graphics hardware. The Series X can run Xbox One games that were enhanced for the Xbox One X and
run them smoother.

Only Xbox 360 and original Xbox games that were enhanced For One X get enhanced on the Series S, but unlike that machine, they max out at 1440P. Xbox One games run as they did on the original hardware, but with their own enhancements I mentioned in my previous
reply such as smoother frame rates, unlocked resolutions and such.

For the time being, Series X and S are on par with each other frame rate wise, but only time will tell for future titles.

I'm a PC gamer (i7 and RTX 2080) as well as a console gamer. I have a Series S because I couldn't get a Series X. When the X becomes available I'll replace it.

I've not connected my Series S to my TV, it's running off my Monitor. 1080P at 120Hz is great so far.

The great thing with these consoles is their content now follows you. when I get my Series X, only old games will work and work better.

It will be playable on Xbox One as it should be coming to Game Pass,

However it will look much better on the Series X and run much smoother and faster.

Would I get a smoother gaming experience on Xbox Series X?
