That was 20 years ago. As games evolve so do the processing demands that go with higher resolution, levels of interaction, and increased framerates. It’s suggested to play Halo Infinite on a Series X, Series S or older Xbox One if you can. But if you’re a PC gamer, not any old Windows box will do.

We’ve outlined the minimum and recommended specs found in the 343 Industries graphic below. Of course, you can always shoot for the stars and go for the “Ultra” setup to maximize the experience. The more powerful your system the better the framerate and response.

The Xbox One S 1TB All-Digital edition ($249) is $42 more than the same model with an Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc drive ($207.75).

Both versions are 1TB, white, include a white Xbox One wireless controller,  offer a 1-Month Xbox Live Gold subscription tryout, are sold and shipped by WorldWide Distributors through Walmart, and qualify for free 2-day shipping.

The All-Digital model, however, comes with three free digital games including Minecraft, Forza Horizon 3, and Sea of Thieves (although, Sea of Thieves requires an Xbox Live Gold subscription to play).

Which model would you purchase? Considering the Xbox One S with 4k Blu-ray player can also be used as an All-Digital console wouldn’t you just pick up the cheaper edition? Or, is $42 worth it for those three games?
