Customer Ratings & Reviews

I used to play on a Xbox One S before I switched to the Xbox Series X. First things first, the quality and gameplay are a massive upgrade compared to the One S, everything feels smoother. Loading into a game is way faster, maybe 90% faster. I also noticed that my download speeds match my WiFi plan. I have a 500 mbps plan but on the S I would get around 250 whereas the X gives me around 450. Not sure if it’s just my console but my friend also had the same problem. Now to the cons you could say. The X is big so if your old console is in an area with little vertical height, good luck. I was going to put it where my old S went horizontally but it was to big. Another thing is that when you switch to the X, your games become X|S compatible, in order to achieve better load times and gameplay. The issue is that they have to be in the internal storage. Meaning your external storage device is almost completely unless. Now there are some games like Ark that can be played in the external storage but most games require internal storage to be playable. A semi work around would be to just transfer the games back and forth between the two storages has that’s much faster then uninstalling and reinstalling. My honest advice is if your running the Xbox One, you should think about upgrading but with the S you don’t have to as of right now. I really didn’t need to either but I had some cash saved up and decided to buy it. My S is still operating and in almost top condition. The loading time wasn’t really a deal breaker with my S. I play for my enjoyment, I’m don’t really care as much about the 4k, 120 Hz, and stuff like that. Honestly, I can barely tell the difference. If you made it this far, thank you and I hope you have come to a decision.

Great system. No complaints. Would recommend. Enjoy playing games with my sons!

This is a longer review, superb system. Great backward compatibility so far (almost as large or comparable to ps3 backward compatible number of games before last two updates). Microsoft has time and room to improve this system. Most importantly, I love the fact that it has backward compatibility for most of my favorite games. :-) There is a list of games that it works with, somewhere, online. It works with my Hd tv. I hope Microsoft will make it support more backward compatible games like muspell, and kingdom under fire series. Their site says they might acquire more licenses to put more games out for Xbox x. I enjoyed getting free levels and other preorder downloads from free download list under Microsoft store (many of which, are unavailable anywhere else). I got all my games on one 8 terabyte hardrive. The same one that I use with my Xbox one s. (Quite a few with great space for expansion-never fill a hardrive all the way as it can degrade over time). This includes subscription games for Xbox live. Some of the older games even play better in Hd. This is my opinion of the Xbox X. On the downside, I was hoping that a vr system and kinetic sensor would, also, be available later for it at a reasonable price. (Doesn’t seem likely at this time.) Even though, kinetic sensor and games for it on the same hardrive does work on my Xbox one s. It would seem though that the technology seems to be available if Microsoft invests in it. Some vr sets can work in hdmi port. Like a larger screen size than my tv. Larger screen size, better graphics usually. (There is still time for this (for Microsoft to do so) to happen.) It (Xbox x) is supposed to have the greatest graphics on paper. (This requires a 4K tv, 4K hdmi cable-I do not have these, yet, and therefore cannot offer opinion on it (the greatest graphics)). However, hd (on Xbox x) works great on my 5 year old 75 inch tv. It is better graphically on hd than Xbox one s (mortal Kombat x) is. The Xbox x internal hardrive has some space on it. It does not make noises (gears of war character) like themed gears of war Xbox one s. Xbox x runs very quietly. I put some plastic color on it (vinyl wrap) and got a second larger controller for it that fits my hand size better. My Xbox one s controllers (and remotes) do work with the system. I bought it. It works great. It allows me to play games that are from Xbox original, which is cool. It’s newer games are great as well (Devil may cry 5). In comparison, My ps3 could play ps1 and ps2 games (I got backwards compatiblility with it (most of them (even unholy war-I did not do the update that wiped the functionality from most systems))). However it (the ps3) cannot do them in hd like my Xbox x. The my hardrive for ps3 did not go work for ps4 etc. Xbox one s additional hardrive format does work with Xbox X. Graphically, on a Hd tv (Xbox X out competes ps3, sega genesis hd, Xbox one s, my brother Xbox one x, and wii (hd. Cable adapter)), it is comparable to ps4. On a 4K tv at Best Buy (generally), it is much better (but it was a brief test). I haven’t found a second port for cable tv on it yet (I will search for it later (I use Xbox one s as it saves hdmi cable space and can port older systems onto Hd tv -even though these are not hd like backward compatible games on Xbox x are)). Xbox X currently supports a large number of backward compatible games, for video games, from its previous systems with mention that it may expand the range. Security on it is not as cumbersome and is really customizable. Some of the apps are interesting and functional as well. (iTunes library and computer connect etc), Hbo tv, net flix, and Vudu work well. Waiting on final halo game infinity to come out, and test use some of the machines extraordinary computing power that it has on paper. Big points: This is a longer review, than I usually write. :-J Once again, superb system. Great backward compatibility so far (almost as large or comparable to ps3 backward compatible number of games before last two updates that wiped functionality from my brother’s ps3(he(my brother) gave me heads up about it)). Things that would help it most: Microsoft has time and room to improve this gaming system. (Add more older games into hd, provide more free levels and bling to induce customers, add Xbox exclusive vr set system with sensor that can work with the Kinect). Future plans: My family was impressed and intends to get multiple systems (as many as six that is four more) as backups for older systems we have (Xbox original, Xbox 360, Xbox one s, and Xbox one x) and for the family eventual future 4K upgrade. The family is optimistic about Microsoft and system backward compatibility. Also, it (Xbox x) has no problem playing disc media like dvds, Blu-ray, music, and older movies as well. I got a warranty with mine and it has had no issues yet (not caught fire either unlike my microwave (black smoke-manufacturer defect) My brother has no issue with his Xbox x yet either.

My son is very active in gaming. It’s a huge piece to his socializing with friends. I needed something well equipped and reliable. This has absolutely stood up to those prerequisites.

Worth the wait. Great graphics. I like the controller as well. Fits nice in the hands. Also great for those chilly winter nights. Just crank up a game and this will soon have you entire room toasty warm!

My 13 year old son has been playing on his Xbox Series X1TB Console for a year and a half. No issues with the device and we haven't had any storage issues.

Exceptional gaming console. Sufficient storage and smooth gameplay.

Great quality console and gaming performance. Highly recommended!

Okay, so the Xbox Series X is pretty solid. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do. The biggest thing? Game load times are fast. Like, ridiculously fast. It's a huge upgrade from the old system. Graphics look great too, obviously. What I really appreciate is the storage expansion. Being able to just pop in an expansion card is super convenient. No messing around with external hard drives or anything. The only thing I wish they’d fix is letting you add more than one expansion card. That would be awesome. But honestly, other than that, it's a fantastic console. Definitely worth the upgrade.

It’s was really good and nice I didn’t need to sweep no more .my house always clean .

Great game console to be able to play original xbox games, xbox 360 games and xbox one games and play xbox series x games.

Recently upgraded from the xbox one and this console is a life changer. The loading times for every game have greatly decreased and the graphics are amazing.

Just purchased this new console and I enjoy it, the size is perfect doesn’t take up space and it’s way easier to use

My husband loves it. He has been super into flight simulation lately and the software works great on this.

Bought for my teenager. He says it works well for gaming.

I love the new xbox, its faster and can definalety hold up more things. And its so simple to place anywhere since its shaped vertically

This is our second Xbox X for our youngest son and we are very happy with the quality.
