The backward compatibility feature is a huge plus, allowing me to revisit some of my old favorites from previous Xbox generations with enhanced performance. The Xbox Game Pass has been a game-changer for me. It offers an incredible selection of games, including new releases, which I can access without having to purchase each one individually. This has allowed me to try out games I might not have otherwise considered, broadening my gaming horizons.

    The Xbox Series X has completely transformed my gaming experience. From the moment I unboxed it, I was blown away by its sleek, modern design and whisper-quiet performance. Microsoft has truly raised the bar with this console! What sets the Series X apart is its unmatched power and speed. Games load in the blink of an eye thanks to the ultra-fast SSD, and the graphics are absolutely jaw-dropping. Titles like Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5 run buttery smooth in 4K, with vibrant colors and lifelike detail that fully immerse you in the action. I also love the Quick Resume feature—it’s a game-changer for multitaskers like me. Switching between games is seamless, and it feels like the Series X is always one step ahead. The backward compatibility is a huge bonus, letting me revisit classic games in improved quality without missing a beat. The controller is another highlight. It’s comfortable, responsive, and has just the right weight. The tactile feel of the textured grip and triggers makes long gaming sessions even more enjoyable. The Xbox ecosystem is better than ever with Game Pass. The value is unparalleled, offering a massive library of games right at your fingertips. It feels like there’s something new to explore every day. If you’re on the fence about upgrading to the Series X, don’t wait—it’s a console built for the future of gaming, and it’s worth every penny. Whether you’re a hardcore gamer or a casual player, this system delivers an experience that’s nothing short of spectacular.

    Coming from an Xbox One X, the load times and increase in performance is evident right away. Game Pass is an incredible value and with the Series X here to help make the games you love look and play better, it’s a great time to invest in Microsoft’s ecosystem of entertainment. With huge investments in AAA first party titles that will launch into Game Pass, there are so many great games to dive into that you may have otherwise missed. You’ll need a tv that supports HDMI 2.1 to get a true taste of next gen performance, but even on older tv’s the SSD will get you into your games faster. Quick resume is a great feature that suspends the games you play so that when you boot them up they load you right in where you left off. There will be issues with online games that rely on servers but single player games get you right back into the action! The console is very quiet and the UI is snappy yet familiar for those currently enjoying an Xbox console. I’m a huge fan of all consoles & can highly recommend you check out the Series X!

    The Series X is truly a new experience

    I used to own an Xbox One X and some people will say that it was close enough to the Series X that it wasn’t a worthwhile upgrade since these are expensive and hard to get. Well let me put those claims to rest. While, yes, this console feels very similar to the One X when you fire it up, once you get into a game, it’s a whole new experience. One of my favorite games from last gen is Forza Horizon 4 and even though you could do 4K30fps and 1080p60fps on the One X, being able to do 4K60fps on the Series X makes it feel like a completely different game. The speeds that this console operates at are truly next level. One of my all time favorite games is the original Star Wars Battlefront II. I have that game for the original Xbox and it works on the Series X! But it works exceptionally well. It’s scary fast. I swear, I spent a collective 3 months of my life waiting for that game to load when I was young. The loading screen barely appears before the entire match is already on your screen with the Series X. It’s so fast that the loading screen is almost a flash on the screen. Of course, younger me is furious at how fast it is, knowing how many times I would just get up and grab a drink or a snack while it was loading. But older me has to start planning out the drinks and snacks before even turning on the console because the days of long loading times are gone, and that makes me extremely happy. It may feel like an Xbox One at first glance, but let me tell you, it is nothing like an Xbox One when you start really comparing speed and graphical quality. Pair it with an Elite Series 2 Controller and you’re in for a great time. Worthwhile leisure investment, 100%.

    From someone who was originally planning on getting the ps5 I missed out and instead settled on the Xbox series x. I planned on getting this eventually but not until later in the year however this console is a great system for both new and existing Xbox fans. First thing first the setup is quick and easy all of your games you purchased from the Xbox one era are available to download and play on your new console right after the setup. I was surprised to see all my games I bought from the Xbox one show up immediately after I set up my condo.For those uninformed the series x can play a limited amount of games from the original Xbox from 2001 and Xbox 360 it can also play every single Xbox one game as well it also loads every game at a faster rate so you’ll be spending less time in a loading screen and more time gaming. The quick resume feature is amazing and by far my favorite feature of the console. It lets you switch between up to 5 games at a time without going through in game menus. For example you could be playing Halo 5 and decide you want to play GTA 4 (an Xbox 360 game) you’ll switch to gta 4 and if you decide to return to halo 5 you’ll continue right from where you left off. The console is also capable of displaying games (that allow it) at 4K resolution and 120fps if you have a tv that supports it. If not the console still works on a standard 1080p or 720p tv you just won’t get that premium image quality and smooth gameplay. I would recommend buying this over the Xbox series s as the series x is more powerful and will run games way better than the series s but if you are on a budget the series s is ok as well but do know that it does not have a disk drive so you will only be able to play digital copies of games instead of both physical and digital. Gamepass is also a great feature if you are just joining the Xbox brand as it gives you access to over 100+ games that you can download and play all the way through. Games are added and rotated out on a monthly bases some games stay on for years others get removed after a few months. Think of it as a Netflix for video games. I recommend getting gamepass ultimate as it gives you access to gamepass and Xbox live gold which give you access to online multiplayer titles. Gamepass ultimate is 15$ a month but for new members you can get it for 1$ for 3 months and pay the 15$ once the 3 month period is over. If you just joined the Xbox brand and have no games to play gamepass ultimate immediately erases that problem as you can play 100+ games spanding from Xbox 2001 to the Xbox series x/s generation. If you are lucky enough to get your hands on this console get it it’s a great console with a lot of consumer friendly benefits for new and returning players.

    Ive been a playstation fanboy all my life! Ever since my first playstation 1 when i was just 4.5 years old! I was just blind and convinced that i will be sticking to my pc and playstation ecosystem for another generation, and that xbox will still be cool but not for me. After the past year with recent jaw dropping announcments and amazing xbox exclusives i just had to get my hands on the series x and finally get into the xbox ecosystem for once. And i gotta admit i love my series x more than my ps5! The gamepass is just a big freaking WIN for microsoft and xbox! And the power of the series x has is just mind blowing! And out performes the ps5. Not to mention that the series x comes with a native 1tb with seperate storage for system software and updates so you never run out of storage unlike the ps5 that has 1 storage for the entire system, so you only end up with like 600gb at the end if the day, which is about 4-5 games. In conclusion, if you manage to get yourself a series x go for it! Do not hesitate to try and get one. But if you dont mind the performance and storage penalty then the series s will give you the same experience and is much cheaper and easy to get. Seeing the series s in hand i can confirm that the average joe that just want the key to next gen gaming without spending much and not caring about performance will enjoy the series s just as much as the series x. But if youre hardcore like me and will notice the difference, then this is it!

    This is what the Next Generation is supposed to feel like. This system is so much faster and smoother to navigate and switch between games. The system is whisper quiet while running games and displays beautiful graphics. This is everything that the Xbox should have been. Microsoft has answered the call, and accepted the challenge. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting the most powerful system on the market. The future is looking bright for gamers!

    Best Next-Gen Gaming Console

    I purchased my Series X on December 2nd, 2020 last year. I've had it for over 7 months now and I still love it and play on it as much as i did the first day. Microsoft is absolutely killing it this generation which is why i switched from ps4 to the Series X and i couldn't be happier that i did. The Next-Gen features this Xbox has such as Quick Resume, which lets you have multiple games open and play between them in a matter of seconds. I use this feature every day. A growing list of games that have Auto FPS Boost and Auto HDR, which makes games look and play amazing! Playing a game that was once 30 fps to now 60fps is so awesome, especially the games that are boosted to 120fps! It's an absolute game changer. Game pass Ultimate is a must if you have an Xbox. It's too good of a deal to pass up, it's perfect with the Series X. Games load incredibly fast on the internal SSD of the Series X it'll make you realize how much time was wasted waiting for games to load last gen! The new contoller is a nice upgrade from the previous model. It now has a textured grip on the back and triggers which feels great to play on while gaming for long sessions. I truly am enjoying my Series X and the Next-Gen features it offers, it's only getting better from here too, with a lot of Xbox exclusives coming soon this year like Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5, and many others, all day 1 on Game Pass! You won't be disappointed going with the Series X this generation.

    I'm very impressed with what the Series X has to offer. I'd gone with Playstation for the last several generations and felt very underwhelmed by the PS5 design and what it has to offer. The backwards compatiblity support is amazing and I am catching up on the 360/XB1 exclusives I missed in the best possible way on a 4K TV. While it's a big console, the shape and design are easy to work with. It also runs cool and quiet. I was a little worried about using batteries in the controllers, but having a batch of rechargeable AAs around is very easy to work with. Unlike with the Playstation controllers, I don't need an extra one for battery emergencies. The rechargeable batteries last for days between charges. It's also cool that XB1 controllers work on the Series X. I would actually recommend this to PS4 owners who aren't overwhelmingly thrilled about the PS5. It has a lot more to offer right now in the way of exclusives you probably didn't play yet and it is much, much easier to get one (Fall 2021). Included pictures of it against my PS4 Pro to help get an idea of its dimensions.

    I purchased this as an upgrade and addition to our Xbox lineup. It came with a $50 Bestbuy gift card so at $475, it was a steal! Setup was a breeze and I am thoroughly enjoying the backward compatibility aspect of it. It is so fast and fun that I am finding it hard to get up once I am playing it. I couldn't be happier with the value, delivery and ease of use. If you are considering upgrading, don't think twice about it!

    THE BEST XBOX EVER! I love this Xbox. I had the Xbox One X before this, and I really questioned if it would be worth it for the upgrade. Well, the 120fps and 4k capability alone make it worth it. Add the extremely fast download speeds thanks to the SSD, a new design with way better airflow for better performance, and better overall performance. After all this, it’s safe to say it was absolutely worth it.

    Great system. I’m an older gamer and the progress we have made in gaming just amazes me. The graphics are mind blowing, and the 120fps on supported games is nice. I do recommend you get a tv with hdmi 2.1 ports that supports 4K at 120fps. This so you can fully take advantage of the features of this console. I have an LGCX 55 inch which is an awesome TV for this console. I love the quick resume feature where you can switch between games and not lose any progress. Just pick right up where you were at when you switched between games. I like the fact that it is backwards compatible with a lot of my previous console titles. The disc drive is nice to watch blu ray movies on and to play the game titles you have on disc. Gamepass is a must have addition for your console especially with all the perks, games, and trials. A lot of great titles to play right now that demonstrate the power of this console. Hopefully the availability will get better as time goes on. I highly recommend this console.

    Great Console Has Some Pros And Cons

    Runs very well, has a lot more storage than i was initially expecting, definitely has better graphics on games i normally play. The only down sides is i wish it came with a USB cord, like my brother got when he purchased his xbox x from a different store and the fact that with a Playstation when you get the PSplus subscription you get to keep your downloaded free included games that normally cost money even after you cancel the subscription when you dont have the money it or just dont want it anymore, while with the Xbox game pass you aren't allowed to play the games you download and put money into while playing it after you cancel it, like whats the point of paying monthly to play it for "free" when u could just save up and buy the game to have it without having to worry about keeping up with each month. I get that some people are saying its if you finish the game and want to uninstall it get another one for free but everyone takes a different amount of time to finish a game (especially if you work it will take longer than a few months) so for most non pro gamers it would take you about the same amount of money during each month to buy two to five and up games (normally costs like 60 to 80$ online for one) while you are still trying to finish one game, but sometimes offers fairly good discounts though. Otherwise im obsessed

    I switched from PlayStation to Xbox, due to the lack of PS5 during the pandemic, I can say that having an Xbox series X has definitely changed my perspective on the consul themselves Xbox does a lot of things well and are still improving the UI to be simple and quick. There’s a lot of features that I liked that you can do on Xbox that you can’t do on PlayStation . if you’re moving from a Xbox 360 or Xbox one to the series X, it is a light years away from them. You will be blown away at just how good the graphics are, as well as how fast games load up now. I would definitely recommend to PlayStation players, and even old generation Xbox players.
