The Xbox Series X / S and PlayStation 5 game consoles, some of the most coveted gifts during the holiday season last year, will be back on the shelves today at Walmart. Walmart will be offering game consoles “while supplies last” from 3 pm EST. We expect the consoles to be fast based on previous drops like this at major retailers.
The almost impossible to obtain PlayStation 5 is the top game model from Sony and has an integrated Blu-ray 4K player. You can enjoy games like Marvel’s Spider-Man: Mile Morales, Demon’s Souls, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and the ever popular Fortnite in high quality graphics – you can also play most PS4 games on it.
The Xbox Series X is considered one of the most powerful consoles of this generation and costs the same as the PS5. It shares many of the same games as the PS5, including Fortnite, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla. The Xbox also has its own exclusive titles like Gears 5 and the upcoming Halo Infinite. You can also play all Xbox One games on it and, if you keep them, some original Xbox 360 and Xbox games. If you want to use your device for streaming programs and movies, it also equips a 4K Blu-ray drive.
If you don’t want to risk $ 500, the Xbox Series S is a low-cost alternative to the Series X. You can play the same games, but eliminate the disk drive, so they must be digital downloads. The S Series also comes with lowered graphics from the X Series and PS5, so your games don’t look as good as they would on the higher price range models.
