Customer Ratings & Reviews

System runs smooth and fast. I have experienced some unexpected freezing but I think that is at the fault of the games I play. There have been some occurrences of when my Xbox shuts completely off. However, I just restart my console and things seem to run just fine after that. Hopefully, these will be fixed as the console is optimized and updated. Overall, I like the design but it does seem overpriced for what you get at the time of launch. System is easy to setup and use.

I'm absolutely blown away by this system. Comparatively to the Xbox One, it's a huge step up. I've compared some of my games between the One and XSX and the load times are much better, graphics looks better, and the controller is a huge step forward. Absolutely great.

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

The latest and most powerful Xbox console manages to improve upon its predecessors, not only in performance but also with several quality of life additions. I had an external HDD with all my existing games from a One X and for the most part I was able to just unplug it from the old and right into the new. Games that were marked as optimized for X and S didn't make a seamless transition however. In one instance Borderlands 3 was completely graphically corrupted after I had moved it from external to internal drive. Nothing seemed to fix the problem so I uninstalled and reinstalled to get it to work. It now works as intended but I did waste several hours reinstalling the entire game with all DLC. Some of the new features such as Quick Resume are amazing when everything is working as intended. But, I find that the games that support this feature aren't necessarily delineated and even if the feature is supported doesn't always work as advertised. In my experience it performs properly 4 out of 5 times across several different games. It seems most reliable when switching between 2 or 3 titles. Despite growing pains that Microsoft's flagship console is experiencing there is plenty to love here. Backwards compatibility runs as expected and many titles have enhanced graphics and fidelity. The dashboard is much snappier than previous generations and all games seem more responsive thanks to all that fancy hardware under the hood. As an established Xbox aficionado I am happy I purchased the Series X as it perfectly accommodates previous titles as well as controllers and accessories. I feel that there is more value to be found here for existing Xbox fans but without any truly new first party games at launch there just doesn't seem to be a reason for staunch Playstation fans to dip there toes into the Xbox ecosystem.

This console is so quiet that you cant even tell that it's on. Super fast and the graphics are out of this world good. Pick this baby up.. if you can find it. Don't feed the scalpers though. So many next gen features on this that it truly brings a smile to my face!

Beautiful machine. Runs a lot faster than the Xbox One. Looks amazing, sleek and stylish. Games play better than any other console.

Best Xbox I've ever purchased! Very easy to use and set up. Performance is incredible. It is very quiet it even when playing demanding games. Definitely has lived up to the hype! You can use your old xbox controllers with the Series X! Worth the purchase!

I was so fortunate to luck out preordered this. I love the Xbox console series. It's a sleek and powerful monolith. From the packaging, which by the way is such a treat to open, to just navigation, I am so impressed with Microsoft on this one. This is an investment system - we're awaiting some of the amazing games that will come over it's lifespan. With the purchase of Bethesda, we have Skyrim and Halo games on the horizon. In the interim, gamepass gives 100s of games! I've already poured over 40 hours into Valhalla and the graphics are incredible. The biggest thing here is the load times - you dont even have time to text people it loads so fast! Love the system - zero regrets on going with Microsoft over Sony, and look, I think if you can get a PS5 or Xbox series X right now, you're lucky! Console wars are dumb, this is a must have system so jump on it if you are fortunate enough to find one.

This monolithic console can’t be beat. Along with gamepass and a slick design, it is definitely the console king. Couple it with gamepass and you’ll be unstoppable. As a plus this monster is quieter than any gaming pc you can build!

This is my baby until my ROG Ally arrives. The speed difference between my Xbox one & the series X is enough to sell me, but figure in the picture quality? Take my money.

Disregard the negative reviews from PS5 fanboys (who either don't even own the console or are hypocrites). This is an awesome next level game console. Upgrading to this from my One S is amazing. 4k graphics are great but the real improvement is definitely the increase to 60fps. Everything that I've played so far (Borderlands 3, Jedi Fallen Order, Gears 5) looks so much smoother and realistic. Load times are at least cut in half and in some cases 5-10 times faster than on the One S. I agree that this console is a little ahead of the current selection of games available for it but I'm very confident that developers will be releasing games that are able to showcase more of XSX's capabilities. Very impressed so far and I'm expecting more games to play over the next several months. Especially Cyberpunk 2077. If you can find one buy one (just not from scalpers taking advantage of the current shortage).

3 years down and going strong! Excellent, haven't had any issues! Last one lasted 10+ years so I'm sure will be making plenty of more memories together!

Have used the system for 3 months so far and it is slowly becoming my go to for a majority of my games. Load times and switching between menus are lightning fast thanks to its SSD. Features like quick resume which allows me to have multiple games open at once and switch to them at anytime are the kinds of features that are truly next gen to me. Smart delivery is another feature that streamlines the process of making sure I get the best looking version of the game I’m playing without having to double check or accidentally downloading multiple versions of a game. Coming from a One S the difference is stark and is a great solution for those who want high fidelity gaming on their TV without having to spend thousands trying to match the same quality and resolution on PC. Also game pass is a great way to try loads of games without breaking the bank.

Fantastic console! I had an Xbox One S for years, but over time with online gaming it just wasn’t cutting it anymore with frame rate dips during online play. So, I knew I needed an upgrade. This console has been a great upgrade. Fast speeds, I can play all my old games from previous generations and easy setup to transfer over all my account data. My only downside is although 1tb is a lot of space in comparison to older consoles which typically only had 500gb, games are increasing in size and a terabyte just isn’t enough anymore. However overall I’ve loved this console and games.

Got this because I had a series S and wanted something with a disc drive and more power. The series X definitely delivers both, when i started playing Diablo 4 it was on the series S and when i switched to the series X I noticed the difference right away. Graphics were nicer and smoother, and the game play had improved dramatically. The series X compliments my xbox series 2 elite controller very well. I'll be honest I play my Xbox series X way more than I play my playstation 5 and i enjoy every minute of it.

The xbox series x, is a great console. I also own a PS5. If I had to choose only one, it would be an easy decision for myself. For those on the fence, here are a few observations/personal opinions on the matter. Performance - Draw. I think most console gamers would agree, the performance is comparable. Controllers - The touch pad on the PS5 controller gives it a slight edge. I personally prefer the xbox stick/button orientation, but that's purely a personal preference. They both feel good in-hand. OS/UX - The xbox user experience is much more intuitive in my opinion. MS has been in the software game MUCH longer than Sony and it shows. Exclusives - PS5 is the winner in this department, as MS has stepped back from "exclusive" titles. Backwards compatibility - xbox wins by a long shot. If you're invested in the platform over several console generations, the xbox is the clear winner. Gamepass is a major selling point for the xbox platform!. I have the equivalent service on my PS5, and I hardly use it. Family management - XBOX! Sony's approach is janky, cumbersome and frustrating to use. If you have kids, or multiple xbox consoles in your home, xbox is the winner.

Bought online before price increase. Run perfectly. Get ready for GTA VI!

The Xbox Series X is a gaming powerhouse, with top-notch performance and a sleek design. It’s a joy to play games in 4K with lightning-fast load times. The controller feels great with improved grips and a handy share button. Plus, the game library is huge, thanks to Xbox Game Pass, which includes fantastic exclusives like “Halo Infinite” and “Forza Horizon 5.” Backward compatibility is a bonus, and the user interface is easy to navigate. In a nutshell, the Xbox Series X is a must-have for gamers, taking your gaming experience to a whole new level.

Great gaming console and works great with no issues which is a good thing

I had an Xbox one X, so my review is relative to that. The load times are just so quick! Amazing. Small and portable unlike PS5. Love the controller and the collection is good! Graphics are much better than the previous gen.
