PS5 or Xbox Series X will be a tough choice to make for FIFA 21, and there's a wildcard in the new Xbox Series S.

Just like previous Xbox consoles, the Series S offers a cheaper alternative to the more powerful Next Gen console.

Series S will run at 1080p, so it will be interesting to see how the game compares to the most powerful console of the previous-gen - the Xbox One X (which is still more expensive).
Our friends at Stealth Optional perform a comparison of Series S vs One X here.
One of the main draws of the Next Gen consoles is the graphics, which already look incredible from the brief glimpse we saw of FIFA 21 at the EA Play reveal.
How will FIFA 21 play on Xbox Series S?
Now this is a tricky one, as you probably won't be able to tell much difference Xbox One and Series S for a game like FIFA 21.
Loading times are likely to be the same, graphics may have a slight edge - but you should really see Series S as a cheaper way into gaming.
