I have an Xbox One X. Tonight I noticed a banner on the main screen saying I could get up to $150 trading in my console for an Xbox Series X. I scanned the QR code for the trade-in calculator and it told me my promotional value was actually $100, not $150. There hasn’t been a lot on the Series S/X that interests me that I can’t play on my One X other than Flight Simulator. I do also use it as my media player for that TV, so the one advantage it has is if I subscribed to YouTube TV’s 4K package I could watch it on that TV (the One X is not listed as supported but can apparently show some, though not all, YouTube TV 4K content). I don’t even actually play that much so I’m not sure it’s worth spending the money, but I am curious about doing the upgrade. It looks like all my games should still play and my controllers still work? I don’t have anything that uses the Kinect and don’t have a Kinect, so no worries there. So if I did the trade-in I wouldn’t lose anything and would gain a current-gen system? I think I would get a Series X, but not the 2TB Galaxy edition.

The Series X is backwards compatible with every Xbox One game except the ones that require Kinect. Even if you only want to play Xbox One games, they'll benefit from better frame rate and max available resolution on the Series X. I own one and don't regret it.

Here's a list of the Series X/S exclusives on my shelf:

  • Alan Wake 2
  • Alone in the Dark
  • Baldur's Gate 3
  • Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary
  • Dead Space Remaster
  • Dragon Age: The Veilguard
  • Hogwarts Legacy
  • Judgment
  • Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
  • Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP
  • Marvel: Midnight Suns
  • Starfield
  • Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster
  • Star Wars: Jedi Survivor
  • Star Wars: Outlaws

There are some really great games in that list and most are at least good.
