Which accessories do you need for the Xbox series X and S?

A monitor is useful if you game on a smaller screen or if you place the Xbox Series X|S next to your computer.

The Xbox Series X supports 4K images at a maximum of 120 fps. That's why we recommend you buy a 4K monitor with a refresh rate of at least 120Hz. That way, you can be sure your Xbox games look as sharp and smooth as possible.

The Xbox Series S supports a Full HD and QHD resolution at 120 fps. The Xbox console also supports a 1440p resolution. That's why we recommend choosing a monitor with a minimum refresh rate of 60Hz and a Full HD or QHD resolution.

If you prefer to game on a larger screen or if you don't want a separate monitor in the living room, choose a television.

For the sharpest image for your Xbox Series X, we recommend a TV with at least a 4K resolution. Via HDMI 2.1, you get the most out of your Xbox Series X. That's because it supports 4K with a 100Hz refresh rate in HDR quality. Do you have an Xbox Series S? Choose a QHD television with a refresh rate of at least 60Hz. These televisions also have a low input lag. That means you won't have much delay between the action on your controller and the images on the screen.

You want to discuss tactics during a game of EA Sports FC or Call of Duty with friends. That's why a gaming headset is essential. The microphone allows you to easily communicate instructions. Choose a headset with surround sound to hear the sound all around you. That way, you can hear your opponent creeping up on you faster during a shooter and win the duel.

Gaming with someone is very fun, but the Xbox Series X and S include 1 controller. If you want to play with someone, you need another controller. If you play alone, an extra controller is also useful. That way, you can continue playing with the spare controller if the other one is empty.

You can also upgrade to a Microsoft Elite controller that lets you set up game profiles. These also have extra, programmable buttons on the back so you can react faster in-game.

Of course, you need a game for your new Xbox console. Are you more into sports games, racing games, or shooters? On the Xbox Series X and S, there's a game available for every gamer. Keep in mind that the Xbox Series S doesn't have a disc tray, so you can only buy digital games. Do you have an Xbox Series X?
