Customer Ratings & Reviews

Xbox Series X is a great console, I love the ease of the Xbox interface and homepage, I like the friends/followers system they have, not only but the graphics are great and the 1tb gives enough space to have multiple games downloaded and the quick resume feature is great to jump from game to game

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

Bought this for my son because he had his older one for so long and it was time for an upgrade. Thought about just getting him the “S” being that it was so close to Christmas but so glad we decided to splurge on this one. The speed, graphics, and capabilities just can’t be beat!!! The only downside is that I hardly see my son any more.. lol

Truly an impressive piece of hardware. The controller is awesome, especially the D-Pad with its nice circular corners for fighting games and the way it curves in. I was instantly impressed that it could run GTA 4 in a locked 60 FPS! Not to mention how quick and snappy the loading times are for games such as Red Dead Redemption 2 or GTA V. The setup is also painless and quick for the console! The design is nice, and the startup music is a eargasm. It’s a nice upgrade from the One X, but I only wish Halo could’ve launched with it. Anyways, it’s a great console.

Love the new xbox ! Works so much faster !!! My son is sooooo happy!! And with the additional controller now he can play with all his friends when they come over ! So convenient that the old controller works with the new system and it was so so easy to log into his account and transfer all his games and information!

The graphics on this console is incomparable! I also own a PS5 but the Xbox is definitely alot more user friendly. My best recommendation is too purchase additional storage on day one, with better graphics games tend to take a little more space than before. Also the Microsoft elite controller 2 is the best controller ive owned

It is bigger than I expected but the new controller is awesome! It does put out a ton of heat but overall I have loved the new design. Great job Xbox!

It's silent, fast and powerful. I have no complains and so far it's worth every penny. Quick resume is awesome and the load times are spectacularly fast.

Microsoft and Xbox have done an amazing job with the Xbox Series X. The console performs great, and the controller for this console is the best I’ve used ever. The downside I do have with this console is just the size and design of the console itself. While this console may have the design of a refrigerator it runs amazing, and I have a blast playing it.

So far so good, this is a big boy but runs really nice, be sure to keep in a well ventilated area because it can run hot with that top fan but no overheating so far, games have run great and I really enjoy quick resume makes switching games easy when my friends wanna hop on to our normal games, overall I'm very happy with my purchase, be warned however if you have a wireless headset there is a bug where it will turn your console on and your controller won't connect will probably be fixed with and update otherwise you just have to hard reset and resume as normal

Love this, use it everyday.. for media and gaming of course.. everything runs smoothly and love the quick resume on this xbox like dayum its so handy and perfect... glad i bought this because love using controller for most of my single player games and then i go to pc when i want to really want to hardcore game MW3

The Xbox Series X 1TB Console is phenomenal. Its lightning-fast load times, stunning 4K graphics, and expansive game library provide an unmatched gaming experience. The sleek design and powerful performance make it a must-have for serious gamers.

It's amazing to finally get this and play all my highly anticipated games. The graphics and performance are all great and quick resume is pretty amazing aswell. Can't wait to play all the new games coming out.

What else is there to say? It is the world's most powerful console. It's got great graphics, a stable, familiar UI, and the best controller as far as feel-in-the-hand. features such as smart-delivery, quick resume, and xbox game pass set this apart from the PS5 and ends up being a better bang-for-your-buck console to play games. Things they could of done better: better controller features like the haptics on the PS5 dual sense, a newer/cooler UI, but to be fair, this one is familiar and works better than the PS5 one.

I wanted a ps5 first this time around but I decided on the Xbox series x because it’s the more complete system at this time. Improvements in every way, especially load times, with zero negatives or issues. Despite having no issues, as with any new console launch, spend the 20% extra and pick up the Best Buy warranty. An example of load times: I can start a match on sea of thieves, have the ship loaded and sail to the next island before my friends load into the same match. Also, it looks 10x better and runs much smoother. Get one!

Best of the video game ,mygrand child enjoying, love the presentation, the video quality, the speeding. Definitely recommend, happy holidays.

Bought this for my boyfriend for christmas and all I can say is he seems to love it. He says its much faster and he loves the new controllers that come with it. It can go horizontal or vertical so were able to fit it better on our entertainment center. Hes a gamer so if he loves it, well, it must be pretty good.

This system is insanely powerful for the asking price. I am able to plug in several external USB HDDs, unlike the PS5, so now I have the storage to take full advantage of GamePass. Every single game I've tried on this system looks better than it ever looked on any prior Xbox. Gears of War 3, for example, looks so clean it's almost like a remaster, but its just the way Series X does business. I love this thing. I love my PS5 and my Switch too. I just happen to like this one a hint more than the others. Game Pass is just TOO GOOD.

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.

I was one of the few that played beat the bots second round of release and got one. I had the day one og Xbox , held out on the one x and the graphics can’t compare. Details I’ve never seen, game play smoother and less blurred. The quick resume game function is awesome, I can pause a game come back two days later to that exact point and continue playing. My download speeds seem about the same as the one, around 150-170mbps. If you still have the one, you’re doing it wrong. K/D ratio has gone up. Went pro my first week and now sponsored by Munster :)
