                One key difference between the consoles as they currently stand is access to 4K streaming services. While you'll have to opt for the more expensive PS4 Pro if you want 4K streaming services on a Sony console, both the Xbox One S and X are capable of 4K streaming.Sep 14, 2022

                Xbox VS PlayStation There are several differences between the Xbox and the PlayStation. While Xbox games are available on PC, PlayStation games can only be played on the console. However, while the Xbox does not support playing in virtual reality, the PlayStation is compatible with VR headsets.
