Customer Ratings & Reviews

Xbox Series X is everything I wanted. The ability to play my Games both a Disc or Streaming. With Xbox Gamepass you have hundreds of Titles to choose from. With a good TV, you will notice the quality in the Graphics. But, the system gets Hot after long Game Play and I would invest in a external fan to keep it cool.

This unit is great, TONS of memory and expandable. The only thing is that it runs HOT. I would strongly suggest buying a fan for the top of the unit, very inexpensive.

TLDR: worth the money, will likely run future games great and look great for the next 6 years, SSD is wicked fast but is also small and needs more memory, puts out A LOT of heat. Fantastic console. Big heads up... IT PUTS OUT A LOT OF HEAT! Pros: •Super fast and powerful gaming system, •Super quiet even when running games at 4K 60fps, •Same operating system as the Xbox One line so everything is backwards compatible, •Memory is a SSD so load times are extremely fast for most games (for reference: Skyrim load times are so short I can’t finish reading a single sentence on the loading screens). •ray tracing is amazing and makes a world of difference. •FPS is usually locked at what you want it to be in most scenarios so I don’t really notice frame rate drops that often. •performance rivals gaming computers (desktops) in the $1200 range. •will likely be able to have no problems running the next 5-8 years of advancements in gaming and graphics while still looking amazing which is the main reason I dropped the $500. •upgraded WiFi card in the console so download speeds aren’t capped at 80mbps anymore (I downloaded a 16gb update in 8 minutes at 230mbps when I pay for a 300mbps plan and my roommate is playing his Xbox at the same time.) CONS: •puts out A LOT of heat... like similar to a space heater (do not even think about putting the console in an entertainment system or shelf unless you cut holes in the back where the intakes are and give the exhaust at least 8” of clearance and angled so the exhaust is pointed a little away (like 10-15 degrees) from the shelf. Not a problem if it is standing upright on top of something with nothing above it or blocking the vents.) •it uses the old operating system so it doesn’t feel new unless you use the dynamic moving backgrounds for the Home Screen. •a lot of games are still not optimized/don’t take full advantage of the new hardware and technology so quick resume, high frame rates, and 4K are not available on a lot of games (but that’s an issue with Microsoft and the other games, not with the console). •it has a 1 terabyte SSD which isn’t a lot of space for modern day and future games, so either buckle down and buy the 1tb SSD expansion card for $200 or use a cheaper hard drive but forfeit the amazing loading times and other features. (A terabyte is about 1000 gigabytes, and after the operating system you only have ~840gb free. New games are usually around 50-110 gigabytes and they’re just going to get larger). •distracts me from studying and is making it hard to finish my Pre-med degree with a good gpa lol

As always, this next generation of Xbox doesn’t disappoint. Great graphics, speedy startup and a very robust lineup of games available through Game Pass, what’s not to love? For the bad stuff, yes, it runs super hot, it takes up quite a bit of space, and pricey. That all disappears when you get immersed in the environments that the games hold. Another solid addition to the Xbox line of consoles. I can’t wait to see what games come out when developers really utilize the power that this console offers.

Good graphics a quality. Has not overheated or froze up

Excellent console, very quiet and awesome performance. The picture under 4k 60FPS is amazing, HDR works perfect on my TV with all the details under shade popping up. Run a bit hot though and the fun noise sometimes are hearable under heavy load. But overall a huge step up from old generation with on par performance against the PS5.

You want it and I have it. The Series X is amazing! New games look great and old games look better as well as run better. No issues with the console overheating or actually unusually. I can't wait for Series X only games to start being made.

First thing i noticed about this console is how fast loading times are. Theres few things that van ruin a game than to be staring at a loading screen. This console is fixes that. I hardly have time to unlock my phone before it finishes loading. And the graphics look amazing on my OLED screen. I really saw the difference going from the One X to the Series X. But this console isnt without its problems. All that processing power creates a ton of heat. My room will be 80-90 degrees after a couple hours. If the ambient temp gets that hot the console with overheat and power off abrubptly. Other than that its a good gaming unit.

I've had this system since it was released and it's been great! I decided to purchase a new TV so that I could utilize 120 fps and I can't believe the difference I noticed when playing Cold War multi-player. My only cons are no Halo Infinite at release and that it does get very hot so make sure you have the unit somewhere with appropriate airflow.

The machine is a work horse compared to the original Xbox One. The interface remains the same but the load times are so fast. The machine can run hot, even when standing upright. Still has some kinks to work out from an interface perspective. Well worth owning if you want to play your existing Xbox library with a greater user experience.

Wow - no more waiting for things to load. Super fast and fun - the 120Hz at 4K is crazy. Can't wait for more content to roll out, they've only scratched the surface of capabilities. Nice design and no problems with overheating at all. If you can find one, buy it, you won't be disappointed!

Great performance on next gen games, as well as running smoothly and not overheating

This box is huge. But it is fast and the graphics are great. Wish I could fit it on my shelf without overheating. If you have a xbox one x and an older 4k tv (hdmi 2.0 or lower), you can hold off on the series x until you plan to upgrade your tv as well.

Performance is great, solid build, never have overheating issues. Payment plan was vital

What a machine. WHAT a machine. However, if I play at max visual settings on NBA 2k Next Gen. My Xbox will shut itself off. Super weird. I just play in lower settings.

The series X is a great machine. My only gripe is that it will overheat pretty quickly. That was easily fixed with a fan kit from Amazon.

it works as intended, ever since I got I would never be less happy, I can now stay trapped in my room all day without having it overheat and run the games smoothly.

OMG, my kid loves it. No issues with overheating or anything. Wish it had more on-board storage.

very good system. my kids love playing. does get very very hot so i bought a aftermarket fan

Great console easy to set up and very comfortable controller. Beautiful graphics. It started making some loud noise and it would overheat causing the device to shut down. That is the only reason it didn’t get a 5 ⭐️.
