main entity: Can I transfer my PS4 games to PS5?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: Yes, PS5 is backwards compatible with 4,000+ PS4 games. Xbox Series X plays 300+ backwards compatible games from Xbox One, 360, and original Xbox. Both consoles allow free digital game transfers; PS5 requires physical disc insertion to validate disc-based games.
    language: en-US
main entity: Which console has better exclusive games?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: PS5 has a stronger exclusive library with critically acclaimed franchises (God of War: Ragnarök 94/100, Final Fantasy VII Remake 87/100, Spider-Man 2 91/100). Xbox Series X exclusives include Starfield (83/100) and Halo Infinite (87/100). PS5 exclusives average 88 Metacritic; Xbox averages 79 Metacritic for comparable releases.
    language: en-US
main entity: Which console is better for 2026?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: PS5 maintains the advantage for exclusive single-player games and VR gaming (PSVR2). Xbox Series X offers better value through Game Pass and cloud gaming integration. Both will see major releases in 2026 (GTA VI, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth announced). Choice depends on whether you prioritize exclusives (PS5) or subscription value (Xbox).
    language: en-US
main entity: Which console has better graphics?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: Xbox Series X has 17% more GPU processing power (12 TFLOPS vs 10.28 TFLOPS), enabling higher frame rates (up to 120fps in supported titles). However, PS5's custom 5.5GB/s SSD results in virtually identical visual quality in most multiplatform games. The difference is minimal in real-world gameplay for consumers with standard 4K TVs.
    language: en-US
main entity: Is Game Pass worth it compared to PlayStation Plus?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: Game Pass Ultimate ($16.99/month) offers superior value for subscription-focused players, including day-one AAA releases and PC game access. PlayStation Plus Extra ($11.99/month) provides fewer new releases but includes PlayStation's stronger exclusive library through separate purchases. Choose Game Pass if you play 4+ AAA titles yearly; choose PlayStation Plus if you prefer ownership of exclusive franchises.
