Xbox Series X and Series S

T A 42 · Mar 22, 2025

Hi,

I own both a series x and just bought a series s. I currently own mostly physical discs for all of my games.

If I want to system link a game like Halo:MCC between the series x and series s within the same household and over the same network I am assuming I would insert my hard disc copy into the series x and purchase a digital copy on the series s….is this logic correct thus far?

My main questions comes from a sign-in and account standpoint. If I want to system link between the two consoles (will have both a digital on the s and the physical copy on the x in each instance unless this is not needed) and I want to benefit from purchasing a game just once (thinking digital over physical in the future might be the way to go in order to be able to play between both the series s and x, not simultaneously, should I setup separate accounts/different emails for each Xbox or will I want to sign in with the same account/email for each Xbox? Would one prohibit LAN play with the other under any of these scenarios described above?

Thanks in advance!

:)

No such thing as an Xbox One Series X. The Xbox One family of consoles has an S and an X but are still just Xbox Ones. You need the Series family of consoles. The Xbox Series S or Xbox Series X. These are different from Xbox One S or Xbox One X.

The "One" and "Series" are the console types.

Because on my Xbox series x, it only shows 'Optimized for series x/s' but if a xbox series x version of a game is NOT 'optimized' how would i know if I'm playing a series x/s version of a game?

3. ONLY the Xbox-Series X has this issue, No other, including the Series S which is the “little brother” of the Series X

4. The issue is the Series X

Are you sure, that the Series S is not affected?

Well first there is no series s with a bluray drive

Xbox one s does and that isn't a series s

Xbox one games are compatible with xbox one games whenever it is one x or s

Series consoles are just xbox series NOT one s or x

They labeled series consoles that way for a reason to differentiate xbox one games from series games

Hi,

On an Xbox One, Xbox One X and Xbox S, yes.

On an Xbox Series X or Series S, no.
