Customer Ratings & Reviews

Its not truly fair to review this as is with no 1st party console exclusives at launch to really show off what it can do- it. Currently 3rd party games like Valhalla, COD and even that mess of a game cyberpunk2077 are performing better on my PS5. Here's where it gets crazy though. Devs didnt have kits for series X nearly as long as they had kits for PS5- so that's expected for the 1st year or so maybe. With the new rdna2 components, and the extra bit of "power" I expect this console to get better with time (and quickly). Gamepass is unbeatable and a fantastic feature if you own and XB but dont subscribe to gamepass idk what's wrong with you. My only real gripe is that It turns itself off from time to time. Valhalla and CoD seem to be the main causes of this. MS has explained this to be a software not a hardware issue. Quick resume is as amazing as it sounds and works just exactly as advertised. the new controllers may look nearly identical to the prior model but they feel different and new in hand. All the small tweaks are welcomed. Series X has by far and away my fave and simplest launch setup process of any console ever. Enough cant be said about the console design. I LOVE the low key look, and no- It isnt a large as it looks In pictures, but it is significantly weightier. I still havent gotten use to the space age alienware PS5 design but the simple XB design looks natural in my living room and doesn't draw the awkward attention the PS5 does. Absolutely great. Fantastic secondary console.

Perfection. New design, ultra fast UI! I'm mad I never considered an SSD for my Xbox one x. But yeah I own Ps5 and this and hands down, in a side by side comparison on a 65" True 4k 120hz tv, Shadows are perfectly detailed, but only slightly less on Ps5.. Audio processor is similar... Load times are slightly faster on Ps5, and truthfully the Ps5 control is more comfortable. But for performance. One example. Cyberpunk 2077 .. crashed 8 times in one hour on Ps5, didn't crash once on Xbox. Also no frames lost on Xbox. Before you judge the xbox PUT IT ON HARDWARE IT WAS BUILT FOR. 4K 120, with N 8k HDMI w/Ethernet!

Bought this for my daughter she is absolutely in love with this X-box. She prefers Xbox while my son prefers PlayStation. There arguments over which is better are funny but over all amazing console. This is our first Xbox and I must say I am impressed with speed, graphics and over all ease of use. Definitely would recommend this console!

Love the fast loading times and all my games look great. Audio is also improved. New controller is great too. Definitely worth the upgrade from last gen. DO NOT BUY FROM A SCALPER. Just wait till it comes back stock. Not worth paying the premium In my opinion. I know it might be on the top of little Timmys Christmas list but trust me it will be better for everyone if you don't pay resale. And you might be scammed in the end . Best buy curbside was easy and less stressful than ordering online. You risk losing or damaging during shipping. Bought one for my coworker from Target and it came damaged and late.

My career path has evolved to the point where I want to do as little "IT" management at home as possible. Coming over from the PC crowd I had my reservations about what this little black box could accomplish having grown accustomed to flagship products on the other side. Against all odds, I've found the gaming experience to exceed my expectations. Graphical fidelity, fluid gameplay and ease-of-use make the Xbox Series X a must have for every gamer no matter their title.

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

Another hit by Microsoft. The latest Next-Gen Xbox console is a beast of a powerhouse. To get the full benefit of this wonderful machine, plug it into a 4k or UHD TV. Mine is in a 65" Samsung. Graphics are incredible. Boot up speed in lightening fast. It is bigger than the Xbox 1 and Xbox 1x. Boy not too big I did sit mine horizontal instead of vertical. Less chance of it getting knocked over. Plus, it fits better where I wanted it to go. But it can go either way as there are plenty of vents to cool of the console.

If you are looking for the best Xbox experience with both normal games and games with the highest graphical fidelity and have a 4k hdr TV this is the console to pick if you can. If your using a 1080p TV the Series S is a great option. The only potential criticism of this console has nothing to do with the Series X its self rather its due to microsoft releasing two separate Xbox consoles at the same time with different specs, this leads many developers to develop their game to Series S specs as opposed to taking advantage of all the Series X power and capability. The result is there are many games who don't truly take advantage of the Series X specs. This issue really started last generation where the xbox released the Xbox One X which had similar issues in that if a game was optimized for it, it was amazing but most games were not. On the playstation side game devs only have to develop to one spec the ps5 which makes it easier for them to optimize for that hardware. Of course this is not a a ps5 review. Overall I am very pleased with the Series X it is a solid console with a great controller and more storage than the series S although I never had storage issues with the series S as long as you have an available internet connection. In the future I would like to see Xbox drop the two console spec approach but really I can't complain. The Series X is simply the best xbox ever created.

Quiet, cool, and fast... graphics are fluid and the wireless controller is comfortable and responsive...no problems yet... if you have the mean, I recommend.

To be 100%. I upgraded if you would say from an Xbox One X. From last gen to this gen I was say I'm the most disappointed because I feel like I got nothing except for a faster machine with better graphics but don't get me wrong I love the performance and graphics now I can take full advantage of my way too expensive TV. But going from playing call of duty vengeance on the One X and now on the series X the only difference is speed performance and graphics which is what it was meant for. I'm in my late 40s I've been an Xbox fan since the Xbox I even had the internet adapter and all of that that did absolutely nothing but I had to have it. I stood in line for 14 hours to buy the Xbox 360 in 05' And I proceeded to buy Three of them. I've proceeded to purchase every generation after that. Previously in the prior generation releases it was a totally different console and different game that did not play on the previous generation console. So what I'm saying is that it's just an upgraded console and the games are optimized for the new console I understand the games are now going to be produced and the standard format for the new console which makes common sense. But don't get me wrong I did purchase it and I do love it and I do use it every single day and I'm using it right now watching YouTube. It allows me to utilize my way too expensive TV and all of the great picture quality graphics I'm old give me a break. Lol I love it. I'm just a tad disappointed that it wasn't the same kind of totally different console it was just like a upgraded console that can now play games of with better graphics and performance. That's all I'm done. I don't even know why you read this you know you want one you just can't get one I was lucky. Keep trying I was addicted I looked everyday probably 10 times a day reading articles that had updated availabilities if you want it you'll put in the time and the effort and you'll get one. And do not buy one off of eBay for any market because you can get one no matter a fact after I got mine from Best buy I got an offer from GameStop I had to turn down. Keep trying Good luck. A.k.a.

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

Best console. Next gen graphics, expandable storage, game pass, quick resume. The Microsoft ecosystem is the best in gaming and only getting better. Took one star off because there really is no reason to upgrade to next gen yet, but if you can afford it it’s a must buy. In a year from now when more next gen games are available it will be a 5 start experience.

Although a currently elusive item. After weeks of trying to buy one I managed to grab one online here on my birthday no less. Console is amazing and truly feels next gen. Later I purchased a 4K HDR tv to go with this. The graphics and loading is insane. GTA will fully load in about 30 seconds, and if you have ever played gta before you know you could make breakfest and eat it before this game booted up on last gen. Games coming out such as Enlisted and BF 2042 really are showcasing the power of this console. Can’t go wrong!

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

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.

This Xbox is lightyears faster and better graphics than my old Xbox One S. Glad I upgraded to the Series X.

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.

When I bought the Xbox Series X, I thought I was just getting the latest and greatest gaming console. What I didn’t expect was how it would bring me and my son closer than ever. My son and I have always had a good relationship, but between work, school, and life in general, we were starting to drift into our separate routines. I wanted something we could share—something that wasn’t forced or scheduled, just a way to enjoy each other’s company again. That’s when the Xbox Series X came into our lives. From the moment we unboxed it together, it became more than just a gaming system. We stayed up late setting it up, exploring Game Pass, and picking out our first games. The joy on his face when we played Forza Horizon, the teamwork in Halo Infinite, the laughter during Minecraft—those are moments I’ll never forget. It’s become our evening ritual—an hour or two of gaming side by side, talking, strategizing, and simply enjoying being together. I’ve learned more about what’s on his mind during these sessions than in a dozen car rides or dinner table talks. The Xbox Series X gave us the gift of time together, and in today’s world, that’s priceless. It’s not just a powerful machine—it’s a bridge between generations, a source of connection, and something I’ll always be grateful for. If you're a parent considering this console, don’t just think of the specs or the games—think of the memories you’ll create. Because that’s the real win.

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.

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.
