![]() You’re stuck with the standard 1080p Blu-ray discs. Sony opted not to put an Ultra HD Blu-ray player in the console, which means it can’t run the 4K-capable discs. It’s stunning stuff, especially when you’re watching Breaking Bad, Stranger Things, or one of the other shows or movies in the ever-increasing 4K pile.īut when it comes to physical 4K media, which can look even better without the little imperfections of internet-delivered video, the PlayStation 4 Pro just can’t hang. Some multiplatform games will look a bit nicer on the Xbox One X, but we think the PS4 Pro still has the better overall selection by a fair margin.īoth the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X are 4K streaming champs, capable of outputting supported content from Netflix, YouTube, and other services at 3840×2160 pixels. But to us, the PS4 has clearly, without a doubt, had the better generation when it comes to one-of-a-kind experiences. Personal preference will drive this category, of course, and some of you might love Microsoft’s franchises enough to call this one in their favour. PC smash PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is one upcoming Xbox One X port that might turn some PS4 owners’ heads, but it’s only a timed exclusive: it’ll hit the PS4 Pro eventually. ![]() We’ll certainly play Crackdown 3, Sea of Thieves, and the Ori sequel, but it’s a fairly thin slate of exciting exclusives. And Microsoft’s upcoming slate isn’t really blowing any minds. ![]() Look, the Xbox One has had some great exclusives, including Forza Horizon 3, Ori and the Blind Forest, Gears of War 4, Forza Motorsport 7, and Killer Instinct, but Microsoft hasn’t had the same kind of consistent flow of greatness that Sony has rounded up. Exclusive games are what define a console most of all, and games like Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Bloodborne, The Last of Us Remastered, Ratchet & Clank, and Persona 5 are incredible reasons to pick a PlayStation 4.Īnd there’s still much more ahead, with games like God of War, Detroit: Become Human, Days Gone, Spider-Man, and Shadow of the Colossus on the horizon. You’ll find a lot of the same games on both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One thanks to third-party developers, and if the upcoming release lists are any indication, that will definitely continue ahead into the future with the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro, as well.īut when it comes to exclusives, Microsoft just hasn’t had the same kind of winning streak as Sony this generation. It also has 40 compute units to play with, over the 12 from the original Xbox One. But with a new GPU that allows for 6 teraflops of graphics output (along with 12GB RAM), it’s a dramatic improvement over the 1.3 teraflops from the original Xbox One. ![]() What about the Xbox One X? Well, much like the PS4 Pro, it’s still built on the same platform as the older hardware, so it runs all the same Xbox One games – both old games and new ones. It all depends on how the developers use the extra muscle, of course, but the differences can be impressive. And the PS4 Pro’s power also allows for steadier frame rates and smoother performance, not to mention additional details and effects. In either case, you get a crisper-looking result that cuts out jaggies and really lets the game assets shine. Some games, for instance the new FIFA 18, can output natively at 4K resolution, which packs in four times the pixels of 1080p full HD, while others run somewhere in between those benchmarks and then are upscaled to 4K. What does that mean? Well, both PS4 consoles play the exact same games, but on the PS4 Pro, you have the benefit of running at higher resolutions. ![]()
