Xbox buyer

Evening all, I'm looking at buying an Xbox One X for my son.
He has a PS4 at the moment but most, if not all of his friends have an Xbox so thought that switch would work out so he can play online with them.

He mainly plays Minecraft but the question I have is, how does the online play work. Is it subscription or free?

I've always been a Sony fan boy so it's all new to me

He will need a gold sub to play Minecraft online I believe.

Some games don’t need a sub, like warzone, Fortnite and the likes

You really don’t want a One X now. If you can’t get Series X then Series S is still a better choice IMO because the SSD makes a big difference.

This, Defiantly worth the upgrade! Series X good value for a console all round!

True but the cost is the issue on that. and would be trading in the ps4 for the one x

Game were doing an offer lately where you could trade in a PS4 and get a One S for £99, could be worth waiting a bit to see if it comes up again?

It’s an all digital console of course but if we’re mostly talking Minecraft then the One S is the one to go for 100%
