Customer Ratings & Reviews

Small console compared to Playstation 5. Graphics are great and loading times are fast. Current proprietary games are limited but that would change eventually.

This was definitely an upgrade and it's been holding up really good.

As the title says, I own both the PS5 and the Series X, and being as non-biased as I can be, my Xbox gets played much more. Why? Game Pass, great backwards compatibility, accessories, and games that receive long-term support. First off is Game Pass, it's a great value and new games get added all the time, so there's usually something added that I want to play every week or so. Sure, Sony has some high quality exclusives and I do enjoy those too, but after I play through those within a week or two, my PS5 is just sitting there for months until the next exclusive comes along. I turn on my Xbox almost every day since there's always something there for me. Backwards compatibility is another big plus, older games that I've enjoyed received updates that make them run at higher framerates and resolutions than before, making them easier to go back to after getting used to most games running at 60 FPS nowadays. These updates are usually free too unless it's a remaster/remake. Another advantage is accessory support, you can use a mix of the new Series X|S controllers and Xbox One controllers to play any game on Xbox. It's also a better party system too since the Xbox supports up to 8 players at once locally. On PS5 you can only have 4 local players max, and you're forced to buy the pricier Dual Sense controllers for playing PS5 games. Games that are exclusive to Xbox/PC also receive support and updates for a long time and keep you coming back. For example, Sea of Thieves came out in 2018, and it still gets updates every few months that brings people back. Sony's exclusives tend to be a "one playthrough and I'm done" type of experience, so they're in my cycle of games I'm playing for a much shorter amount of time. There's other small features that I like on Xbox too, like how you can install games via the Xbox app even if you don't own the game, so if you know you're going to buy a game, you can install it and have it ready ahead of time. Don't get me wrong, the PS5 isn't terrible and is worth owning too if you can afford it. It just annoys me that people talk down on Xbox without even owning one for a head to head comparison. Again, I do own both, and there are a lot of advantages for Series X that I hope people will become more aware of here.

Clean graphics and fast load times! Easy to hook up and aesthetically pleasing.

It was time for a new Xbox for the son. Alot faster and looks better than original

Beyter than the old x box. I love how you can stand it up or have it on side. The thing that really make this x box great is how it will not get hot.

After trying to preorder one since September, I was finally able to land one at Best Buy and picked it up on Black Friday. So far, I've been very happy with it. The loading time is the biggest difference so far. My previous console was the Xbox One as I never upgraded to the Xbox One X. Borderlands 3 would take over a minute to load on my Xbox One while the Series X would bring the game up within 10 to 15 seconds. I have not had any issues with the disc drive or the console shutting down. I haven't really played Cyberpunk 2077 yet as I am waiting for the developer to patch the major bugs before I get into it. I am loving the Series X so far in the 3 weeks that I've had it.

As someone who’s had most of the xbox systems, I think this one is great! The system runs well without little issue, besides the occasional crash. It doesn’t overheat or anything like that, and the performance is great. I will say that it’s very similar to its predecessors, and if you don’t want to spend too much money, you could certainly look into one of the previous systems. Overall, I do recommend!

This new Xbox is amazing 4k 120fps fast loading its everything you could ever want. The fast loading times and the exclusives that would be coming out soon would really show its true potential.

excellent console! Super fast and great quality and graphics! Love the Xbox.

So glad a decided to switch to xbox. I love the look, the feel, and the overall qualities of this console.

A good console to play games that are better on console than pc.

Awesome piece of technology if you have a love for video games it’s a must have in the next line of Xbox’s unfortunately halo was pushed back but this console with start the year of with a bang !

Incredible graphics and faster speed than the xbox s we had. My son loves it

Usually a PlayStation guy but this console is great. Haven’t had an issue in the 1 time I used it! Getting ready to sell it and get a PlayStation :)

Finally got ahold of one ! Awesome system that looks gorgeous! Runs great and my games look fantastic . The UI leaves something to be desired but overall a beast of a machine !

Everything works great, but there’s been 3 times now where the sound stops working and I’ll have to turn it off for a little while before I can turn it back on and the sound is restored.

Really love this Xbox. It’s really good with its graphics and sound but also really reliable. Really captures the graphics and it’s also great to fit on ur desk or anywhere

A very nice upgrade from the previous gen. This is not a console you need at the moment but it'll be pretty difficult to go back to the previous generation once you get used to the little things that this console just does better. Whether it being quicker to load games, the extra games on quick resume, the more frames you get on the select titles. It is a nice upgrade but not a needed one if you're thinking whether you should get one or not. I also have the Series S and those who have used it dont have much to complain about besides the storage space. Both consoles are very quiet and worth the money if you love to play on your xbox console.

noticeable improvement over the xbox one x in terms of graphics and speed.
