As things stand though, in a world where Xbox Series S is remarkably cheap (especially so second-hand - I bought one for £65 on Facebook Marketplace and £100 is an easy target price), the fact is that spending a little more gets you a far superior gaming experience: improved input lag, crystal clear imagery, no streaming image quality issues. Well, the fact that Alex can't boot Hellblade 2 on his PC via the Xbox app suggests not, while the Steam download works just fine.
