With the Xbox Series X being an absolute powerhouse of a console, it's natural to start to wonder if it's worth having a high-end PC or just one of these beastly consoles.
It's the kind of thing that's not really been a consideration up until now, and while high-end PCs may be able to overpower the Xbox Series X, they also cost substantially more.
