even a little playability in

the form of hidden stars.

6 XBOX SERIES S
The Series S is the most
affordable next-gen
console around, and
while it lacks the extreme
pep of the Series X, it’ll
nonetheless work with
everything Xbox. That
includes Game Pass, which
really cements its budget
sensibilities – pick one up
on the 0% APR All Access
monthly payment plan,
and you’ll even get Game
Pass Ultimate thrown in.

SWITCH OLED

The Switch OLED’s

guts and Joy-cons are

essentially the same as

those in the Switches

which came before it. But

that bright, large, colourful

in handheld mode, and

the dock now includes

Ethernet connectivity

to give you an edge in
