They probably just live in the U.S. , where BILLIONS of hard working American's tax dollars were GIVEN to all the big, rich, greedy ass ISP's to expand high speed internet services, but they never did it, and just kept the money to buy vacation homes and lambo's and shit.

I live 8 miles outside of a city of about 150k people, and was in this exact situation a few years ago and had to pay through the nose for shitty Hugesnet satellite internet (aka shitnet) , where i was only allowed 10GB a month, yes a month, for almost 2 years until AT&T had an opening in their, slightly less shitty, DSL service. Cable does not service my area. I'm now using internet through my cell phone service, and it's ok, but not what I would like it to be. But you know, the U.S. is the greatest country in the world.... if you're one of the greedy, rich elites.

Lot of people crapping on the OP for having poor internet service with no idea where they live. Maybe don't assume that the same standards at your house are global then, or that they're choosing poor service. They could be in Alaska, a developing country, or somewhere far from any urban hub.

There's no point in having a gaming PC if you don't have good WiFi. You're going to download all the games anyways. If you're struggling with 33 gigabytes, you're going to struggle download a 100gig game solely from WiFi and not even a disc. A disc let's you download the large files without WiFi, with a PC, everything is done with WiFi.

If your main issue is with downloads and file sizes, what makes you think that switching to PC will remedy that? If you sell your Xbox and exclusively use your PC, you'll face the same issue just on a different platform.

My opinion - keep the Series X and use it, your PC, and your Switch. It doesn't sound like there's much of a benefit in selling it.

Actually, assuming you have access to MS Game Pass, there are lots of fantastic experiences that are under 10gb. To name a few: Tunic, Dead Cells, Hollow Knight, Crusader Kings, the Ori series, Prodeus, and Slay The Spire. If you have access to Game Pass, I'd suggest giving any of those a whirl.

Sold mine a couple of days ago. Had it since launch and got 99% of my money back. Pointless if you have a PC for gaming. Barely used it. PS5, Switch and gaming PC/Steam Deck or a mix of those are a good option.
