Some are minor, I\u2019ll admit, and would ultimately be nice to have. Others, though, feel almost essential \u2013 and would only serve to improve the Xbox Series X experience as a whole. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d never want both boxes to be homogenous, of course \u2013 not only would this stifle innovation, but it would also make owning two consoles practically pointless \u2013 but when a competitor delivers a feature that works so well that you immediately notice it\u2019s gone, that\u2019s when a company should consider implementing it too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"hawk-placeholder\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\"\/>\n<p>It may seem lazy to steal ideas from a rival, but this sort of practice happens all the time \u2013 either during a console generation or after. Microsoft quickly added a headphone jack to its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/xbox-one-controller-deals-cheap-xbox-wireless-gamepad-prices\">Xbox One controller<\/a> after the feature was so well received on the PS4\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/gaming\/consoles\/dualshock-4-deals-find-a-cheap-ps4-controller-today-1298590\">DualShock 4<\/a> pad, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/reviews\/xbox-wireless-controller-2020\">Xbox Wireless Controller<\/a> for Series X and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/reviews\/xbox-series-s\">Series S<\/a> now includes a share button.<\/p>\n<p>The Xbox Series X has some excellent features of its own, of course, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/xbox-series-x-quick-resume-is-as-seamless-as-you-hoped\">Quick Resume<\/a> for instance, and I\u2019ll be turning the focus onto which Xbox Series X features I\u2019d like to see on PS5 in a follow-up article.

I\u2019m utterly enamored with them, to the point where I\u2019ve found myself leaning towards <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/fifa-21-on-ps5-sounds-way-more-fun-than-the-xbox-series-x-version\">buying third-party games on PS5<\/a> over Xbox Series X just to <em>feel <\/em>how they\u2019ve been used.<\/p>\n<p>When Sony first announced how the DualSense triggers would change resistance to mimic the sensation of pulling back a drawstring on a bow, or replicate the kickback when firing a gun, I was initially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/the-dualsense-ps5-controller-is-packed-with-features-but-they-wont-get-used\">skeptical<\/a>. But once I experienced it for myself in game\u2019s like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/astros-playroom-will-make-you-fall-in-love-with-the-ps5-dualsense-controller\">Astro\u2019s Playroom<\/a>, still my personal next-gen highlight so far, it became clear that adaptive triggers were a revelation rather than a gimmick.<\/p>\n<p>Now, while I still prefer the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/stop-saying-the-xbox-series-x-controller-hasnt-changed\">Xbox Series X controller<\/a> overall \u2013 partly due to the asymmetrical analog layout and superior trigger shape \u2013 the fact that Sony\u2019s pad comes alive and helps add an extra dimension to gameplay really makes me long for it on Microsoft\u2019s console.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft is clearly aware of the positive feedback the DualSense controller is getting from gamers, too. A recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/xbox-series-x-survey-asks-if-you-want-ps5-dualsense-features-on-its-controller\">Xbox Series X survey<\/a> asked owners whether they\u2019d like to see similar features on the Xbox controller, to which I wholeheartedly answered yes. While I\u2019d be surprised if Microsoft did make such a drastic revision to its gamepad anytime soon, stranger things have happened.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"2-universal-system-settings-for-games\">2.

PS5 lets you select a number of default system settings that are applied, universally, to games. This includes defaulting to performance or resolution mode in games that support it; your preferred difficulty level; whether you want to invert the controls; and if you want subtitles to be turned on or off.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The amount of time this potentially saves over the course of a console generation cannot be underestimated. I\u2019d always choose performance mode over resolution, so knowing that all the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/best\/best-ps5-games\">PS5 games<\/a> I play automatically default to my preferred setting just makes sense. I no longer need to delve into a menu to check, and for those who play inverted, this is a blessing.<\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned above, Xbox 360 used to have a similar setting, so why can\u2019t it be brought back on Xbox Series X?

In fact, I\u2019ve been pining for it ever since Sony introduced it on PS4.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Whenever you plug a headset into the DualSense controller, the PS5 recognizes this and automatically mutes the TV. It even does it when you connect a wireless headset. This prevents you from ever playing a game with the TV audio still blaring out in the background, which honestly happens more than I\u2019d like to admit.<\/p>\n<p>On Xbox Series X, when you plug a headset into the controller nothing happens. The TV isn\u2019t automatically muted, which means you have to pick up your remote control and turn your TV volume down manually. It\u2019s an extra, unnecessary step that I have to perform over and over again, and I can\u2019t stress how happy I\u2019d be if Xbox copied this seemingly basic feature from PS5.

The implementation is pretty underwhelming compared to how it\u2019s implemented in the DualSense, however, but it\u2019s still capable of providing some amazing moments, like how it can simulate the sensation of moving balls inside the controller when playing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/nintendos-weird-1-2-switch-has-you-milking-cows-and-rocking-babies-to-sleep\">1-2-Switch<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Again, I\u2019m doubtful that Microsoft will add haptic feedback anytime soon, but I\u2019d be surprised if it wasn\u2019t included in the next Xbox controller.<\/p>\n<figure data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:3840px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" alt=\"Astro's Playroom PS5 screen\" class=\" lazy-image-van optional-image\" onerror=\"if(this.src &amp;&amp; this.src.indexOf('missing-image.svg') !== -1){return true;};this.parentNode.replaceChild(window.missingImage(),this)\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/vanilla.futurecdn.net\/techradar\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/s5ETmwJwx62PWyzxEw4wSD-320-80.jpg.webp 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/s5ETmwJwx62PWyzxEw4wSD-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/s5ETmwJwx62PWyzxEw4wSD-970-80.jpg.webp 970w\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/s5ETmwJwx62PWyzxEw4wSD.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/s5ETmwJwx62PWyzxEw4wSD.jpg\"\/><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" alt=\"Astro's Playroom PS5 screen\" class=\" lazy-image-van optional-image\" onerror=\"if(this.src &amp;&amp; this.src.indexOf('missing-image.svg') !== -1){return true;};this.parentNode.replaceChild(window.missingImage(),this)\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/vanilla.futurecdn.net\/techradar\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/s5ETmwJwx62PWyzxEw4wSD-320-80.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/s5ETmwJwx62PWyzxEw4wSD-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/s5ETmwJwx62PWyzxEw4wSD-970-80.jpg 970w\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/s5ETmwJwx62PWyzxEw4wSD.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/s5ETmwJwx62PWyzxEw4wSD.jpg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vanilla.futurecdn.net\/techradar\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" alt=\"Astro's Playroom PS5 screen\" class=\" lazy-image-van optional-image\" onerror=\"if(this.src &amp;&amp; this.src.indexOf('missing-image.svg') !== -1){return true;};this.parentNode.replaceChild(window.missingImage(),this)\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/vanilla.futurecdn.net\/techradar\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/s5ETmwJwx62PWyzxEw4wSD-320-80.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/s5ETmwJwx62PWyzxEw4wSD-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/s5ETmwJwx62PWyzxEw4wSD-970-80.jpg 970w\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/s5ETmwJwx62PWyzxEw4wSD.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/s5ETmwJwx62PWyzxEw4wSD.jpg\"\/><\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Now that Xbox Series X supports dynamic backgrounds (finally!), it\u2019s time that Microsoft brought a bit more life and personality to the user experience. Why not add some music when you\u2019re on the dashboard, then? The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/ps4-deals-bundles-price-cheap\">PS4<\/a> used this to great effect during the last generation, as countless custom themes included classic tracks that really helped take things to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not a huge fan of the PS5\u2019s sombre home screen music to be honest, but it\u2019s negated by the fact that any game you hover over plays its own individual music track, which is a really nice touch. On Xbox Series X, meanwhile, you\u2019ll only ever hear the dull sound that occurs when you move through the menus. As daft as it sounds, it makes the Xbox Series X UI feel rather soulless in comparison.<\/p>\n<p>Wouldn\u2019t it be awesome if you could purchase a dynamic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/halo-infinite-gameplay-trailer-release-date-xbox-game-pass-and-what-we-know\">Halo<\/a> theme that played \u201cA Walk in the Woods\u201d whenever you\u2019re flicking through menus or tweaking your settings? I\u2019d personally love it, and hope Microsoft considers adding the option for home screen music in the future.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"hawk-placeholder\" data-model-name=\"Sony PlayStation 5,Microsoft Xbox Series X,Microsoft Xbox Series S,Sony PlayStation 5 DualSense Wireless Controller,Xbox One Wireless Controller\" data-widget-title=\"Today's best Xbox and PlayStation deals\" data-widget-type=\"multimodelreview\" data-render-type=\"editorial\">\n<div class=\"hawk-multi-model-review-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-multi-model-review-retail-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-title-container\">\n<p>Today&#8217;s best Xbox and PlayStation deals<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-multi-model-review-retail-rows-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-row-container\" data-expandable=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-row-grid-container\" data-columns=\"5\">\n<div class=\"hawk-row-block-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-deal-image-container\" data-type=\"model\">\n<div class=\"hawk-lazy-load-container\">\n<p>Microsoft Xbox Series X -&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-row-container\" data-expandable=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-row-grid-container\" data-columns=\"5\">\n<div class=\"hawk-row-block-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-deal-image-container\" data-type=\"product\">\n<div class=\"hawk-lazy-load-container\">\n<p>Microsoft Xbox Series S -&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-row-container\" data-expandable=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-row-grid-container\" data-columns=\"5\">\n<div class=\"hawk-row-block-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-deal-image-container\" data-type=\"model\">\n<div class=\"hawk-lazy-load-container\">\n<p>DualSense Wireless Controller<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p>Original by Techradar<a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/5-ps5-features-i-wish-were-on-xbox-series-x\/\"> &#8211; Click here to read full post <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/>Brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinegaminggear.com\">Online Gaming Gear | Best Gear for Best Gaming Experience<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Xbox Series X is a terrific console, but there are some PS5 features that I really miss whenever I boot up Microsoft\u2019s diminutive tower of power.
