The Xbox Series S, which is likely to make a splash in the Indian market due to its lower price, has been deemed capable by Microsoft to hold up next-gen games but do so with a much compact package coupled with less GPU and resolution output. While the flagship Series X can run games on 4K, Series S can only run them up 1440P. However, both the consoles have the power to run games on 60FPS up to 120FPS. But, the Series S console is also dependant mostly on the Xbox Game Pass and has also been declared as a 'glorified game pass subscription' on the internet by many who wished to get more in a limited price point.
