Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have always had a soft spot for Xbox, recently been playing a lot on PS5. I got this solely to play Starfield and its been a blast. Does well with long play days, load screens go quick and smooth, barely any lag. My biggest gripe with xbox is the controller battery situation. They are not rechargeable and you will have to buy a third party battery pack to make them so. However, the design is great for people who have smaller hands and/or wrist issues.

Works perfectly and such a great deal every thing involved . From pick up to set up did fine

Just in time availability for a last minute birthday gift.

Bought to replace our Xbox that was surged by lightning. Works great, shipping was fast and prompt.

Nice console good quality video easy to connect snd play

Disregard the negative reviews from PS5 fanboys (who either don't even own the console or are hypocrites). This is an awesome next level game console. Upgrading to this from my One S is amazing. 4k graphics are great but the real improvement is definitely the increase to 60fps. Everything that I've played so far (Borderlands 3, Jedi Fallen Order, Gears 5) looks so much smoother and realistic. Load times are at least cut in half and in some cases 5-10 times faster than on the One S. I agree that this console is a little ahead of the current selection of games available for it but I'm very confident that developers will be releasing games that are able to showcase more of XSX's capabilities. Very impressed so far and I'm expecting more games to play over the next several months. Especially Cyberpunk 2077. If you can find one buy one (just not from scalpers taking advantage of the current shortage).

My son was so happy Christmas morning when he open the wrapping paper and saw this inside. I have been trying to get this for over a year. So glad I got it. It's a great system graphics are so mush better than the last x-box

Honestly, what do you expect? It's next-gen. The console itself to begin with looks like some type of alien object that's casually placed in your living room. The controller is fantastic, much bigger so it can grip in my hands properly now. I always liked the PS4 controller but now holding this I can see how much less of a controller it is compared to the PS5's. Lastly, you honestly won't get the full next-gen experience​ until HDMI 2.1 4k monitors come out that runs over 120hz. So if money is a little tight I​ would wait till it dies down. Not worth paying over retail for this console. So if you were thinking of buying it from those scalpers don't.

Works great with our 4K TV! I have only had it for a few weeks but my kids (as well as myself!) are enjoying it. I was lucky enough to get one during a Best Buy releases, well worth the wait/frustration. Thanks for another great product Microsoft!

As it stands, this console is certainly powerful and a great leap forward for Xbox. However, with its current library of console exclusive games, there is not point in owning an Xbox Series X. It will likely be some time until Xbox gets a compelling list of games that will justify owning a Series X. If you are buying a games console for the first time, I urge you to consider buying a ps5 for its superior library of exclusive games. On a technical level, the series X has a noticeable edge over the ps5. So if pure performance is what you’re looking for…. get a pc (kidding). The Series X is the most powerful console on the market. However if the price is too steep, I also suggest the Series S. I am extremely excited for the next few years on Xbox to see the new games that will take advantage of such great hardware.

I love my xbox and the game pass included has given me the chance to play a lot of games I wouldnt have very much please with my purchase.

Best system besides a pc, hands down, I’ve had for years without any issues

Completed my system upgrades by add this to the collection

I've been an Xbox gamer since the original Xbox back in 2001. I also play on PlayStation as well. I love games. And if you're looking to enjoy yourself with gaming that has a large catalog of older games that the system can play then I recommend the Xbox Series X and the Game Pass option. When it comes to exclusive titles, I am very anxious for the Xbox exclusive Starfield next year. And then there is the new Fable title coming soon along with some other Xbox-only games in the near future. My point is that there are games coming and don't let anyone say otherwise. Now, I know that you can play Game Pass games on the other Xbox systems but what the Series X offers are speed and large storage. I was amazed at how fast games like Gears of War 4 or the Forza Horizon games loaded up. I honestly like the design of the Series X, it's streamlined and allows you to stand it upright or on its side depending on your gaming space. The controller is still the familiar design that we know from the 2013 Xbox One system but there's a share button added allowing you to quickly create game clips or save a game photo. If you are looking to purchase this system for a friend or a family member then I highly recommend that you know what kind of gamer that person is. Are they a current Xbox fan? Do they like playing the older games that they played on previous systems? I won't get into the weeds about third-party and first-party games since to the uninitiated, it can be confusing. Is this your or their first system? Xbox Series X can play all third-party games such as Assassin's Creed, Battlefield, Call of Duty, Fortnite, etc. The Series X also allows you to access your streaming service apps such as Apple Tv, HBO Max, Netflix, and Disney Plus, to name a few. No matter what you're watching or playing on this system, it's going to look REALLY good. Even older games are enhanced through the Series X system. Depending on your TV, the frame rate for some games is fast. As I mentioned before, if you're worried about Xbox not having exclusives, they are coming and they will make you feel proud about owning the Series X.

I love Xbox!! The industry is flooded with play station and it’s great. But Xbox has always done it right! And the series x better than all! Power games and Xbox live….YES!

Play it daily. Love 10/10. Most likely one of the best gaming systems. Well behind Nintendo 64

Works great had to replace my launch series x that stopped working got it before price increase and happy with the performance and games.

Superb console by all metrics. Graphically it's a powerhouse, the game library is slightly lacking but what is there is incredible

The Series X is a great piece of hardware. The system UI is much improved with faster loading and navigating thanks to the nvme ssd. The system runs very quite and heat levels or unnoticeable. Don’t be duked by videos online. Your system vents should be dispersing heat away from your system and if the vent feels like AC after playing for a long time thats a bad thing. Yes, the system is big but not as massive as the PS5. Finger prints do easily show but once you get your system in plays just wipe those off. Its not like you need to grab and move alot so thats not a big deal. The system and games load faster which makes more of a difference than you’d think. The Series X controller is also improved with a share button and textured grips. It also feela better in my hands but YMMV. The 1st party games from Microsoft are a ways off but my review is strictly about the system.

It’s okay, looks nice and has good performance and all. But the amount of games are lacking tbh. I also hate the controller. The buttons feel very cheap, esp the ab/xy ones compared to a PS5 controller. And it having a rechargeable battery is a huge bummer. Using AA batteries in a controller for a $500 console seems cheap. Love the console design though. It s fan of the UI, however. Not enough Xbox exclusives to really make it worth my time, personally. Bought in May 2024 and used it only in December when Indiana jones came out.
