Customer Ratings & Reviews

The biggest difference is the load times on the new console. It is indeed a huge improvement. However at launch there aren't that many compelling titles yet, just mostly reissue games redone for the new console. I think we need to see how good they are at flexing all the horse power underneath the hood once these more compelling games get released. Overall its an improvement but the console feels like an iterative change, not necessarily an evolutionary one. Its like old Xbox just better. The PS5 however uses some cool haptics feedback on the controller which is new and adds an interesting wrinkle. However I have always been an Xbox fan, I like the feel of the controller and the exclusives like Halo. Like I said, kind of the same just better. Lets wait for more titles.

I have both the Series S and the X and the new SSD makes the world of a difference. The consoles are whisper quiet and the Series X makes older games run as if they were brand new. Even games like Dynasty Warriors 9 which ran under 30 fps are locked to 60 fps without next-gen patches. Ever since the inclusion of Quick Resume playing through backlogs are a breeze!

Runs quiet, and doesn’t get hot after hours of console being on. Graphics are amazing on a $1000+ tv but slightly above average on other TVs. If you’re looking for the “next gen” console but don’t want to spend that “next gen” tv money get the series S. Quick resume is hands down the best feature of this console. Highly recommend this console for any gamer.

Series X, great gaming console, great community, great graphics and performance, the controller has great battery life, i would rather battery every two weeks than competitor 2-4 hours on a charge,

Having been an xbox fan since the original, I have to say I'm not disappointed. Since there aren't any "New" games built around this system, I can only comment on current games....specifically, Assassin's creed Valhalla. The greatest improvement in this game is the load times. On the One S, it seemed like forever when the system had to load from the start screen or between waypoints. Now, it's under 10 seconds. Transfering between games is lightening fast and the "quick resume" feature is fantastic. Graphically, things just seem to "pop" out of the screen more and the movement is much smoother. My only gripe with the system is the internal storage space. I have an external drive that connects but if you want to play a "series x" version of a game, it must be installed on the internal drive. You can store it externally, but it won't play until you transfer it to the internal. Of course, there is an add on external drive that acts as the internal, but it's ridiculously expensive so I wouldn't recommend it. Final gripe, it took a long time to redownload all of my content from the One S to the new system....I'm talking hours. Overall, I love the system and cannot wait until the new Forza comes out to really see what this system can do.

Very fast very sleek very expensive but in the end it’s all worth it

[Employee of bestbuy] Use it everyday, the performance is insane. Much better than the last model, and the space it has is really good for holding more than one game

I absolutely love this console! While initially I wanted the PS5 for the exclusives (and still do) I was able to snag a Xbox Series X and boy was I not disappointed! Not only is game pass ultimate worth every penny (and works for PC gaming as well!) but this machine is way more powerful than I expected. I paired it with a Sony 55" 900h and I was blown away!

Amazing loading speeds, It loads so fast It can skip the game loadijg screens and have you right in the multiplayer lobby. The graphics are 2nd to none, and the doly atmos compatibility rocks!

This is a huge upgrade from the XB one. Better in every way and worth the price. (Not worth the price if your paying more though). I will say if you are trying to get the boasted about 4k @120hz, you will need a 2500$ TV, so thats the next step, but as far as this goes, great graphics, fast load times, remote is smaller and more responsive

Awesome speed. Exactly the reason i bought it in the first place. The graohics are noticebaly different from the previous xbox (OneX). I would highly recommend anyone thinking sbout buying one, do it

Great X Box. Sleek, quiet and fast, A + buy !!!!!!

Seems to be a good gaming system. Fast loading times. Good graphics. Would recommend.

This is my third series X I got rid of it got another one online for a good deal now I am buying my third one for my son. It’s a great system lacking AAA games but you have game pass and Starfield is coming out so there you go.

Best in its class 100% recommend will continue purchasing Microsoft / Xbox products

Satisfied with the product, honestly it’s a great console, good graphics. I think it’s quick. And a good console overall. Little up there on the price but on the bright side is you can pull it out in payments so I think it’s worth it

Love the speed! The graphics are amazing. No lag during play at all!

It definitely lives up to the name. This is the boxiest gaming console around. Only complaint is that I could only find one X on it. Very disappointing considering that it’s a Xbox. But seriously, graphics and load times are great. Hopefully these can become more available to everyone. Had to wait all night in line for one.

Works well,and graphics are crazy. My son plays it for hours

It works great. It hooked up easily to my television.
