Microsoft Flight Simulator may look striking on the Xbox Series X, but Brown points to the game's performance on the Xbox Series S as the technical marvel. "While Xbox Series X renders striking vistas with a 4K target, it's the Xbox Series S that takes the spotlight with incredible results on this $299 box," says Brown. "It's the toughest test yet on next-generation systems, but a slick port makes it snag-free."
To enter for a chance to win, you have to be a resident of Australia or New Zealand and be 13 or older. Any participants under 18 have to have a parent or guardian approve entry. The full terms and conditions of the competition are available on Microsoft's website.
