Customer Ratings & Reviews

So far I like it. I think it’s a bit expensive for the price but it runs better than the other Xboxes.

Love my xbox still have it no issues ps5s are constantly having issues lol

If you're on an XBox One this is certainly with the upgrade. You won't see much changed or different with the Xbox interface but the performance is incredible. Games load super fast and sometimes instantaneous with quick resume. Frame rates and image quality are improved over the Xbox One depending on the title. I play a lot of Warzone and I find that I am usually loaded into the game quicker than even some of the quickest PC players I play with and the graphics details have improved as well as the frame rate. It's not a PC but it's darn close at least in Call of Duty. It definitely competes with lower-end PC builds for sure. The system does run hot but as long as you keep it properly ventilated it won't cause you any issues. If you have an enclosed media cabinet you can orient this on the side but it's advisable to keep the cabinet door open while playing and make sure there's enough room on the top and bottom to allow adequate airflow. You're not going to have any fire hazards as the machine is built to shutdown if it overheats (and I've yet to have that happen to me). But if you aren't allowing proper airflow I cannot attest to your experience there. I don't use the included controller because I have an Microsoft Xbox Elite 2 controller and it works like a charm with this and even takes your settings over from an old Xbox without you having to reconfigure anything. I have held the new controller and it's slightly improved over the Xbox One Controller but nothing vastly different. I'd say it's like a baby version of the Elite 2 controller, no changing thumbsticks or D pad and it doesn't have any paddles that can be mapped on the bottom, but the they do have a better D-pad than the Xbox One default controllers. I have heard some reviewers talk about Xbox vs PS5 and I say go with the console that has all the games you want to play. Xbox Ultimate Game pass offers a great way to access a large library of games as a service. I don't think you get the same thing on the Sony PlayStation Now service, but you also can't play Spider-man Miles Morales on an Xbox (if that even matters to you). If you're gaming on a smaller game monitor or want a PC-lite experience Xbox Series X is the way to go. It supports a variety of PC monitor resolutions like 1440 Enchanced HD and 4K output. Highly recommend this console or an upgrade to this console if you can get your hands on one.

My old Xbox is at a date so I had to get a new one.

My son is enjoying his new xbox. I always order for pickup and I've never had a bad experience. The team is always so helpful. If I wver have an issue with the item, they replace it right away or give a full refund.

Highly recommended, I buy for my son and he is so happy

Graphics and speed are excellent. Best gaming systems

Very easy to set up and get gaming. Graphics are great.

Great customer service + easy to follow the instructions

This was a present for my son. He's happy so I'm happy!

This review is based solely on the quality of the product and not based on how hard it was to get one (the fault of MS and retailers) or the fact that some games have a few issues (the fault of MS for handing out dev kits late and developers being lazy). It is also based on the games I have personally played on the machine. Design wise, the system is fairly large though not comically so as many memes make it out to be. It needs plenty of space regardless due to components of the system producing plenty of heat. It can be placed on its side or left standing upright (which I recommend). The design itself is simple enough. Air intake vents are located on the bottom and is blown out through the top. Both sets of vents are fairly large to better facilitate airflow. This, however, means the area around the console needs to be kept clean and relatively dust free. The system so far runs very quietly even while playing games at 4k 60fps. This may change later when games made to specifically for the Series S/X are released. Games stored on the internal SSD have very low load times, with some having almost no load times at all. Textures load instantly so pop in is virtually eliminated. Every game ran on it has HDR applied to it, including games that previously did not support it. The games I've played so far also seem to be upscaled to what I assume is 4K and virtually all games run at at least 60fps. This includes games with a resolution mode that sacrifices fps for the sake of graphics. All of this is done by the console itself though optimization patches from developers could easily refine these enhancements. A few games have had graphical issues (Fallout 4's fire and smoke effects are broken) but I chalk that up to differences in hardware between the One and the Series S/X that will hopefully be corrected as developers make optimization patches. The only other issue I have encountered so far is sometimes the console becomes unable to find my wifi hotspots when it wakes up from power saving mode. Hopefully this is a software/driver issue and not hardware related. Time will tell when it comes to any other issues. Overall I am happy with my purchase and would highly recommend this console to any gamer. I wish it was cheaper but considering how much power both the Series X and the PS5 have $499 is still cheaper than a comparable PC or laptop.

As one who has been an avid gamer for many years and who utilizes the xbox as the center of a home entertainment center, I must say it is excellent. The speed and responsiveness of the OS as well as the controller is very good. I contemplated building a new gaming PC, but for the price, this could not be beat.

My son plays it daily. Best gaming console. Great purchase.

A great addition to the Xbox lineup! Very quick and efficient going between apps or games!

Great item everyone loves it. Order the item arrived ahead of schedule. Pick it up at the store in and out no problem.

Its been well over a year since purchasing my xbox and i can say i am very happy with this purchase, hours of entertainment and fun especially with friends and family

Not much to say about the series x. It's a top tier console. I decided to go with the Xbox all access financing, as I already paid for GP Ultimate. Other companies' sites were difficult to use. Best Buy was streamlined and easy. I was able to set the order up while out of town for work, then just stop by and pick it up. A++

Purchased this using the All Access Pass. 24 months, 0 interest. If you breakdown the cost of the console and what you pay for 24 months of Game Pass, you actually come out saving a few dollars. Console is great. Size is a little awkward depending on the dimensions of your entertainment center.

Worth it! Feels like gen, looks like next gen, games like next gen. A serious upgrade in compared to its predecessor.

works and runs graphics are nice. definitely and upgrade from the series S
