Microsoft Xbox One X vs Sony PlayStation 4 Pro: Which is best?
No, it’s not yet time for the PlayStation 5 or the Xbox… Two? However, Sony and Microsoft aren’t content to let their four-year-old consoles linger as gaming PCs get cheaper and more powerful.
Last year’s Xbox One S added 4K media support and upscaling for games, but it’s the brand new Xbox One X that truly elevates the gaming experience. With a huge processing boost within, the new console delivers native and upscaled 4K gaming and a level of detail and performance previously unseen on home consoles.
Of course, Sony’s own PlayStation 4 Pro has been out for a year now, and it offers a nice step up from the standard PS4 with its own mix of native and upscaled 4K gaming. Microsoft’s console offers more power, but does that mean it’s the overall best choice to stick under your 4K TV? Read on to find out.
Power: X Marks the Spot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVpSlqJDFZg
Before we start this section, here’s the TL;DR version: the Xbox One X is by far the most powerful games console you can currently buy. Want to know why, and what difference it makes? Then read on. But brace yourself – because this might get a bit technical.
The PlayStation 4 Pro uses an upgraded AMD Jaguar/Radeon chip that provides 4.2 teraflops of graphics processing capabilities – a massive leap up from the 1.84 teraflop GPU in the original PS4 (both have 8GB RAM).
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. 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.
In either case, you get a crisper-looking result that cuts out jaggies and really lets the game assets shine. And the PS4 Pro’s power also allows for steadier frame rates and smoother performance, not to mention additional details and effects. It all depends on how the developers use the extra muscle, of course, but the differences can be impressive.
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. 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. It also has 40 compute units to play with, over the 12 from the original Xbox One.
Power: X Marks the Spot
Winner: Microsoft Xbox One X
Games: Pick your pleasure
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.
But when it comes to exclusives, Microsoft just hasn’t had the same kind of winning streak as Sony this generation. 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.
And 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.
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. And Microsoft’s upcoming slate isn’t really blowing any minds. We’ll certainly play Crackdown 3, Sea of Thieves, and the Ori sequel, but it’s a fairly thin slate of exciting exclusives. 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.
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.
But to us, the PS4 has clearly, without a doubt, had the better generation when it comes to one-of-a-kind experiences. 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.
Winner: Sony PlayStation 4 Pro
Media: Xbox brings options
Both 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. 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.
But 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. Sony opted not to put an Ultra HD Blu-ray player in the console, which means it can’t run the 4K-capable discs. You’re stuck with the standard 1080p Blu-ray discs.
Microsoft did put a 4K Blu-ray player in, however: it’s in last year’s Xbox One S, and it’s in the Xbox One X, as well. For the hardcore sort that still buy movies on discs and want the ultimate in picture and audio quality, the Xbox One X provides that. Streaming will satisfy the majority of users, we imagine, but the die-hards have more options with an Xbox One X.
Winner: Microsoft Xbox One X
Compatibility: Backwards is better
Both the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X are enhanced versions of the existing devices, which means they both play all previous and upcoming games from each respective platform, and they both work with all of the controllers and other peripherals released for those devices.
When it comes to games that haven’t been optimised for the PS4 Pro, Sony has a Boost mode, which provides more power to PS4 games that haven’t been specifically augmented to support the Pro’s extra power. The Xbox One X doesn’t have a blanket solution like that, but many top older titles – including MIcrosoft’s own Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 3, and more – have been enhanced to take advantage of the new hardware.
When it comes to the word «compatibility,» though, most minds go to backwards compatibility – and the PS4 Pro, like the standard model before it, has very little of that. It won’t play any of your past PlayStation console discs, at any rate.
What you can do is play some old PlayStation titles via the PlayStation Now subscription service. But that costs £12.99 a month and doesn’t work with every game – and certainly not with the many PS2 and PS3 discs you’ve probably got stored in the attic.
On the other hand, all Xbox One models support hundreds of Xbox 360 games, both disc and digital, as well as a fresh handful of original Xbox games. And now some of those Xbox 360 games look even better on the Xbox One X, including Halo 3 and Fallout 3.
That’s a hell of a perk for Microsoft. It might not make the most of your new hardware, but at least your old favourites won’t be left behind with this switch to a fresh console.
Winner: Microsoft Xbox One X
VR: One-sided battle
We assumed that the launch of the Xbox One X would see Microsoft finally outline its virtual reality console plans, whether that meant showcasing its own headset or perhaps announcing compatibility with the Oculus Rift.
After all, if the PS4 Pro can handle VR, then surely the more powerful Xbox One X can do the same.
But that didn’t happen: Microsoft didn’t mention Xbox-powered VR at E3 this summer or anytime since, which means the only console VR experience available right now comes from the PlayStation 4.
We ran into some technical hitches with the PlayStation VR headset during our review testing, but by and large, we’ve otherwise had a solid experience with it – and the list of worthwhile games keeps growing over time. It works well with the PS4 and slightly better on a PS4 Pro, and in any case, it’s not like you’ll be experiencing VR on an Xbox One X anytime soon.
Winner: Sony PlayStation 4 Pro
Verdict: Better games or better visuals?
Let’s sum it all up. The Xbox One X has more power, better graphics (when games take advantage of that extra power) and backwards compatibility. The PS Pro has the better exclusives and virtual reality. Oh, and it’s also £100 cheaper, at £339 vs £449.
Plus you usually get a free game bundled in with the PlayStation.
So which should you buy? Well it’s actually quite simple – if you’ve got a 4K TV and want to really get your money’s worth from it, you buy an Xbox One X. It’ll give you the best gaming experience out there right now, and will also let you watch UHD Blu-rays.
And if you haven’t got a 4K TV? Then you buy a PlayStation 4 Pro. Well, unless you throw the PlayStation 4 Slim into the mix as well, but that’s another story…

With the release of the Xbox One X in 2017, Microsoft raised the bar on console performance. But it faced stiff competition from Sony’s PS4 Pro, which beat the Xbox to market with a 2016 release. Both focus on 4K gaming and streaming, but there are plenty of differences.
In our Xbox One X vs PS4 Pro showdown, we put the two consoles through 10 rounds of combat to help you figure out which one you should get.
Although both consoles are now in their twilight years, with the Xbox Series X and PS5 looming over the horizon, there’s still reason to look at buying these consoles today. They’re actually available to purchase for one, and with many game devs promising your new purchases on this generation will carry over to the next, buying one of these will still give you an up-to-date gaming experience for a few years yet.

Xbox One X vs PS4 Pro: Hardware
For a console that packs power, the Xbox One X is nice and compact, at 11.8 x 9.4 x 2.3 inches. However, it’s a weighty 8.4 pounds. Microsoft calls it the smallest Xbox ever, but it’s only the slimmest — the existing Xbox One S is 11.6 x 9.1 x 2.5 inches, so it’s smaller in other dimensions. The new Xbox comes only in matte black (as opposed to the Xbox One S, which comes in white and red), and it looks pretty bland.
It’s just two stacked, rectangular boxes. It’s not ugly by any means, but it’s not any sort of radical new approach to Xbox, either.
The PlayStation 4 Pro is larger all around, at 15.6 x 11.6 x 2.6 inches, but lighter, at 7 pounds. It’s a stack of three pieces of black plastic (it looks like a PS4 and another half on top), which is modern and visually appealing but on the bulky side.
Winner: Xbox One X. It may not be much of a redesign, and it’s quite heavy. But you can’t argue with fitting a bunch of power into a compact space.
The Xbox One and Xbox One S had plenty of ports, and the One X continues that tradition. Besides its power port, it offers three USB 3.0 (one on the front, two on the back), HDMI-in and out ports, IR out, S/PDIF and an Ethernet jack. As with the Xbox One S, there isn’t any direct input for Kinect. On the Xbox One S, it required an adapter, and that’s the case here as well.
The PS4 Pro has a pair of USB 3.0 ports on the front and another on the back.
The back of the console is also where you’ll find the HDMI-out port, optical out port, Ethernet jack, auxiliary port and power port.
Winner: Xbox One X. While otherwise similar, the Xbox One X’s HDMI-out and HDMI-in ports let you use it to pass your cable box’s signal through your Xbox so you can watch TV on your game console.
PS4 Pro vs Xbox One X: Performance and graphics
The Xbox One X is incredibly powerful on paper. It has a new custom eight-core CPU clocked at 2.3 GHz and an impressive new custom GPU clocked at 1.17 GHz. This GPU includes features from AMD’s Polaris architecture and offers up to 6 teraflops of computing power. (That easily outclasses the Xbox One S, which has 1.4 teraflops.)
The Xbox One X also has 12GB of GDDR5 RAM. Microsoft says this is enough for rock-solid 4K (3840 x 2160) gameplay at 60 frames per second. The Xbox One X also supports High Dynamic Range, as well as AMD’s FreeSync to prevent screen tearing.
The PS4 Pro has the same AMD processor as the original PS4, but it has been overclocked to 2.
1 GHz. (The PS4 Slim is clocked at 1.6 GHz.) The eight-core GPU also includes features from AMD’s Polaris architecture and offers a formidable 4.2 teraflops of computing power. It has less RAM (8GB) than the Xbox One X. Its Boost Mode has led to increased frame rates in some PS4 games, but user and press reports have stated that frame rates aren’t always consistent. Some of this variability depends on the game. For example, PS4 exclusive Horizon Zero Dawn ran capped at 30 fps, while outputting at 4K on the PS4 Pro.
Winner: Xbox One X. Simply put, its CPU and GPU are more powerful than the PS4 Pro’s, and Microsoft is promising 4K gameplay at 60 fps.
Here’s an easy one. The PlayStation 4 Pro can utilize the PlayStation VR headset. The $399 device is also compatible with the original PS4 and PS4 Slim, and it plays games such as Batman: Arkham VR and Resident Evil 7 in virtual reality.

The Xbox One X was originally announced as being VR capable, but it looks like Microsoft has shelved any plans to introduce VR support.
It doesn’t even look like VR will be included in the next-gen Xbox Series X.
Winner: PlayStation 4 Pro. It’s the only option if you want to use VR on a console right now.
PS4 Pro vs Xbox One X: Game library
Xbox may have a more powerful console now, but it still needs to deliver on exclusives. Both consoles have third-party titles from the likes of Electronic Arts and Ubisoft, but those companies’ in-house titles make their systems more desirable.
Sony has many celebrated titles, including The Last of Us Part 2, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Bloodborne, Uncharted 4, and God of War. All PS4 games released since 2017, and a few older too, can be played in 4K resolution on the PS4 Pro, if you have a 4K-compatible TV or monitor to use with it.

Sony’s PlayStation Now subscription allows you to play select PS3 titles for $20 per month. Or, you can shell out $15 per game to play a whole bunch of PS2 games that have been modernized with 1080p upscaling, Remote Play and Share Play.
Xbox has a few of its own first-party exclusives, like Gears 5 and Forza Horizon 4, but its lineup is not as varied or as widely well-received as Sony’s.
(Image credit: Forza Motorsport 7. Credit: Microsoft)
The Xbox has a big trick up its sleeve: backward compatibility. Xbox One got access to Xbox 360 games last year, and this year, Microsoft announced that Xbox One systems will be able to play games from the original Xbox as well (both discs and original licenses). Additionally, Xbox allows certain games, like ReCore and Halo Wars 2, to be shared on both PC and Xbox via the Xbox Play Anywhere program.
Winner: Tie. While Xbox gains ground with backward compatibility and shared play with PCs, the PS4 Pro still has more of the best exclusive titles you can get on current-generation consoles.
PS4 Pro vs Xbox One X: Interface and special features
Both the PS4 Pro and the Xbox One X have modern, snappy interfaces and menus that make it easy to navigate the consoles. We’re fans of the PlayStation’s minimalist, linear options, but we can understand why people might go for the Xbox’s big, Windows 8-style tiles.
(Image credit: Microsoft)
The Xbox One’s Snap function lets you use two separate programs at once, which is a nice addition, but the PlayStation 4 makes it easy to share your gameplay. The PS4 Pro also has Share Play, which lets you give control of your games to others for up to an hour, regardless of whether your friend owns the game.
The PS4 Pro’s DualShock 4 controller has a dedicated share button that lets you instantly capture screenshots and footage and share them to Facebook or Twitter or start a stream to Twitch or YouTube. Xbox players need to double-tap the Home button and select Options to record photo or video. (The process is easier if you have Kinect, which uses voice commands, but as we discussed above, Kinect needs a special adapter to work with the Xbox One X.) On Xbox, you can only send screenshots to Twitter or stream to Twitch.

Both consoles have Remote Play options that let you play your games on other devices. Sony lets you stream PS4 games to PC, Mac, PlayStation Vita and certain Xperia-branded devices, while Xbox One makes it effortless to stream to Windows 10 computers or tablets.
Winner: PlayStation 4 Pro. The PS4 Pro makes it easier to share your game footage, photos and streams across more platforms than the Xbox One X.
PS4 Pro vs Xbox One X: Entertainment
The Xbox One’s roots as an entertainment device were controversial when it launched but still give it a huge lead in this round. The Xbox One X’s HDMI-in port lets gamers route their cable boxes through their Xbox to watch live TV on their console.
The Xbox One X also has a ton of entertainment apps, including a number from individual TV and web channels, such as CBS, AMC and Seeso. For music, you can stream from DLNA-enabled devices or put your tunes into the Groove Music app.
The PS4 has a lesser range of entertainment apps, but it does share a number with Xbox, including Netflix and Hulu. The ace up its sleeve is that it offers Spotify, which the Xbox One X doesn’t include. The PS4 Pro once also offered PlayStation Vue, a streaming television package, but that has since been discontinued.
Both systems can stream in 4K from apps such as Netflix, but only the Xbox One X has a 4K Blu-ray drive to get 4K off of a disc.
Winner: Xbox One X. Microsoft’s system has a better variety of apps. It also has a 4K Blu-ray drive, which the PS4 Pro lacks.
PS4 Pro vs Xbox One X: Online experience
No matter which of the two consoles you get, you’ll have to pay to play online. For Xbox One X, you’ll use Xbox Live to do that, and it costs $59.99 annually or $9.99 per month. Sony’s PlayStation Plus is the same price. Both systems require those respective services for you to play online. Each offers two free game downloads per month and sales on a wide variety of older titles.
Xbox Live has proved to be more stable over the years, and PlayStation Plus still has some stains on its reputation from a highly publicized hacking back in 2011, as well as some high-profile outages.
You can access PlayStation Plus’ free games on your PS4, PS3 and Vita, but you’ll have to play them separately on each system. Xbox’s Games with Gold program goes only as far back as the Xbox 360, but you can play any of them on the Xbox One X thanks to the backward compatibility.
Sony offers gamers 10GB of cloud storage for game saves with PS Plus, while Microsoft gives unlimited cloud storage even if you don’t sign up for Xbox Live Gold.
Winner: Xbox One X. Xbox Live is more stable and offers more cloud storage.
PS4 Pro vs Xbox One X: Value
How much more are you willing to pay for the Xbox One X’s power? Specifically, it’s a $100 question. The Xbox One X starts at $499 and includes a 1TB HDD. The PlayStation 4 Pro, though, is $399 and also has 1TB of internal storage.
Both support external storage, so you can upgrade as you like.
So the big question in what you’re paying for are the differences. The Xbox One X is smaller, plays 4K Blu-ray discs, and promises to run games at 60 fps and 4K. The PlayStation 4 Pro also plays games in 4K (though frame rates have varied from game to game) and has a VR headset that you can grab right now.
If you prefer the best exclusives, the PS4 certainly has the better game library. And at the moment, we’ve yet to be able to test exactly what the Xbox One X will do with old games and upcoming releases.
Winner: PlayStation 4 Pro. The PS4 Pro is $100 less, has the same amount of storage as the Xbox One X and can play games in 4K.

Round by round, the Xbox One X comes out on top.
You’ll get stronger performance for both old and new games, even in 4K; a wide back catalog thanks to backward compatibility with Xbox 360 and the original Xbox; 4K streaming; support for 4K Blu-ray discs; and the most stable online gaming network around.
What you’ll give up with that, though, are the best exclusives on the market, which still belong to the PlayStation 4 Pro. That console can also play games in 4K, though its games have had varying frame rates. It’s also the only system with a VR headset on the market. Oh, and it’s $100 cheaper, which is a serious price advantage.
Both systems will stream Netflix and Hulu in 4K, and will support games in both 4K and HDR. But the Xbox One X is the more powerful system and has backward compatibility, while the PS4 Pro is a better value and has more exciting exclusive content.
