    Fast Xbox load times are cut by 95%. Fortnite takes seconds instead of minutes. GTA is about 50% faster at loading. Games run incredibly smooth. Just make sure you close your games in the background they will slow down your Xbox. Download times are 95% FASTER worth every penny.

    Much faster processor than the Xbox One S. Running at 120 FPS on a Samsung QLED 80 Series. Graphics on Halo appear to be better than with Xbox One S. Only downside is the inability to take advantage of true 4K in my LG OLED (requires upscaling). Great alternative to Xbox Series X.

    This is a great way to get into the next generation of gaming. The system is great if you have another next gen system or letting the kids play. The amount of space is limited but it makes up for it with its performance. If you are a hard core gamer then this is not the system for you.

    Xbox has come a long way! I got this as a gift for my partner last year and he still uses it every day. It makes streaming movies, watching tv, playing games, and other entertainment options a breeze.
