Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have owned every iteration of Xbox, and this is definitely an XBox. It's very good. Loads of power, able to push out 4k graphics with relative ease. It loads fast, and runs silent. I am very happy to have this beast.

I love the X it is the best gaming device ever. It is very fast the graphics are great. The delivery ok they did not pay attention to the time i had for delivery but lucky my wife was home bestbuy need to fix that issue.

I was holding out on getting a next gen console for the Series X but they are near impossible to get aside from scalpers. My son was coming to visit from college so I decided to pick one of these up as it was available and it would give him something to do while I was working. Setting it up was very seamless and fast. I have gigabit internet so everything downloaded nicely. I was leery about the performance of the console but it performed very quickly. The system worked with all of my digital content and so we downloaded some of my games including old 360 games and I have to say that the load times on those was about non existent. This thing is FAST! Games like Forza Horizons were improved just by the load times. Of course the latest gen games look good as well. I am keeping my Xbox One X and this until I can actually get a Series X at a good price as I prefer 4K gaming but this isn't a bad stop gap until then

Xbox Series X is an excellent upgrade from the previous generation (Xbox 1 X). Look forward to playing more X/S Optimized games. My top 5 Pros: 1. Quick Resume is awesome! Love, love, love this impressive new feature (Exclusive to Xbox Series X/S). Works even after you restart, turn off, or unplug the console. 2. The games load and perform at blistering speeds. Example: I love playing Red Dead Online. On my Xbox 1 X, it takes at least 2 mins to load into a lobby. On my Series X, it takes less than 45 seconds. 3. High-end visual performance for games (4K and improved frame rates). Especially, the for X/S Optimized games. However, previous generation games perform and look great as well. 4. You can use the external USB HDD you use for your Xbox One. Just plug it in the Series X and voilà. And yes, Quick Resume works for games you play from your external USB HDD. 5. After hours of playing games, the console continues to be extremely quiet. Cons: The only Con I can think of is the storage size (1 TB). Would love to see either a larger internal storage, or better yet, the game file sizes smaller. Hopefully, there will be a reasonable priced 2+ TB storage expansion card available soon (2021).

very quiet and works like a charm it has a tb of memory and it very quiet and very sleek looking

As someone who switched to PC gaming a little over a year ago because I was sick of 30 fps on my Xbox One, I was excited to learn that the new consoles have made some big leaps in the hardware capabilities. I am used to getting 90-100 frames (1080p) on most AAA titles, so I was somewhat skeptical of buying a Series X because I feared that it wouldn't compete with my relatively decent gaming pc (RTX 2070 and i7), but I am so glad that this is not the case. Right after hooking it up to my 4k tv, I noticed immediately that games looked absolutely fantastic and that games ran as smooth as butter. To be honest, I really thought 60 fps would be worse than it really is, and if you have a tv or monitor that supports 120 fps you can run games at 120 hz for certain games. Load times are lightning-quick because of the nvme ssd, and Quick Resume is a feature that I used way more than I thought I would. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase and am so happy that I have a reason to turn on a gaming console over my pc once more.

It tends to run a little hot so you might want to invest in a cooling fan for it. Other than that its amazing! Graphics are awesome and load times compared to the Xbox one are non existant.

The Xbox Series X is a major improvement from the Xbox One in performance and storage. Load times and start times last a few seconds, and most games run at a consistent 60 frames per second. This applies to most games, but games that have been optimized for the Xbox Series x have an "X/S" symbol. Games that haven’t been optimized for the Series X will run the Xbox One X version, with more consistent performance; the same applies to the graphics. The only problem is that, once again, the packaged controller comes with Double A batteries, not a rechargeable battery. That is a seperate purchase. Aside from that, the Xbox Series X is an amazing console.

I bought the Xbox Series X mostly for Fortnite and it’s been unreal. The game runs super smooth and loads almost instantly. No lag, no random freezes, and everything just feels faster compared to older consoles. What makes it even better is playing with my friends during senior year. Almost every night we’re on Fortnite together after school, running squads, talking trash, and just having fun. It’s honestly been one of the best ways to chill and make memories before everyone goes off to college. The graphics look great and the higher FPS actually makes a difference. Once you play Fortnite on the Series X, it’s hard to go back. Everything feels cleaner and more responsive. Overall I don’t regret buying this at all. It’s been a huge part of my senior year and some of the best times I’ve had with my friends. If you play Fortnite a lot, this console is 100% worth it.

Got the Xbox series x on release and am thoroughly enjoying it. It is great having the Xbox game pass to have access to a lot of games including some newly released ones. Enjoying the graphics with 4k resolution. Quick resume is awesome for the games that support it and the shortened load times for games is great.

I have always loved to play videos games since I was a kid with an Atari to the original Nintendo. I was lucky to buy the Xbox Series X and it's a well built system that is fast, delivers great graphics, is quiet and does not get overheated. If you are able to buy one I highly recommend doing so.

The Microsoft Xbox Series X 1TB Console in Black is a gaming powerhouse. With lightning-fast load times and stunning graphics, it delivers a next-level gaming experience. The 1TB storage ensures ample space for games, and the sleek black design adds a touch of sophistication to your gaming setup. The backward compatibility feature is a game-changer, letting you revisit and enjoy your favorite titles from previous generations. While the console comes at a premium price, the cutting-edge performance and future-proof features make it a worthwhile investment for any gaming enthusiast.

Cosmetically it lives up to its name. Its just a box, but with its color and simplicity, it fits perfectly on any kind of furniture. Im very impressed with its performance. Playing Xbox One titles on the Series X is a breath of fresh air. Most 1st party and some 3rd party titles take advantage of its new tech and enhancement updates. Games that run in 30 fps, now run 60 or even 120 with built in HDR depending on the title. Loading screen time is drastically reduced because of its new SSD card. The Series X give you fast access to games with its new feature called "Quick Resume", where you can jump from one game to another without losing progression or needing to restart the game(most efficient with offline mode games). You can turn off or restart your console and the game will start exactly where you left off. The controller that comes with the console is the exactly same design as the Xbox One with just a few tweaks. There's no rubber like the elite controller but it does have small textures in the back for better grip. There's also tiny bumps on the triggers so your fingers don't slip. They added a share button right below the guide button to save screen shots or record gameplay much faster. The D pad is loud but its edges are improved for better feel especially with fighting games. Microsoft became consumer friendly so no need to buy new controllers, headsets, or keypads if you already own them on the Xbox One. Just plug in and play. If you have games from your XBO external HDD, you can connect it to the Series X and play all your games. They also have a huge library of backwards compatibility games from OG Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One and on top of that, they offer Gamepass. A monthly subscription service where you access hundreds of games from big name publishers. If you're not gaming its also a good tool for multi media. It has a 4k blu ray drive, stream movies, TV shows, sports, and access to mainstream subscription services. Now for the bad....Halo Infinite was suppose to launch with the Series X but got delayed so no new next gen exclusive games as of now. The Series X comes with 1TB of memory to store games. It won't be enough when games are more complex and big on file size. If you don't mind uninstalling games to install others that's fine, but I enjoy the convenience of having access to all my new and old games. So for the external SSD card they are offering, its not worth it. Hoping 3rd party manufacturers make an inexpensive one with more storage down the line. It feels next gen but it doesn't look like it. I get what Microsoft is doing, creating a next gen console to be apart of the Xbox family with the Xbox One and Series S, but with the same interface as the XBO, and although i do appreciate the console and controller design, its still leaves me left to be desired for something a bit different. Feels like I'm looking at a XBO 2.0 imo. Overall its an excellent console with so much potential. I recommend to pick one up if you're new to gaming or a Playstation customer looking for a different platform to experience. Its well worth it especially with gamepass giving you so much variety. If you already have an Xbox one with gamepass and looking to get a Series X, go for it, but if you miss your chance of getting one now, don't sweat it because you're not missing out on anything. Best to wait a little longer.

I was rocking the Advanced Warfare Xbox One for many, many years and was getting to the point where I was having console lag and crashes. Best Buy had a great deal on this for Black Friday and giftcard and decided to splurge. This thing is sick nasty! Performance: If you don't have a 4k TV or Monitor (I use a 4k Samsung Monitor) you will not get the full experience here. I had brought this over to my friends house and he only has a 1080p HD TV and I didn't get near the same quality. The HDR is amazing, it is a feature you need to experience on a 4k display. Games like Fortnite and GTA look like brand new games. Super smooth, sharp detailing, and it stays quiet and cool. I also love how you can switch between games without having to restart them. I didn't know this was a thing and it is amazing to switch between games with very minimal wait time. Storage: 1TB is not enough storage, luckily, you can expand it easily with an expansion card that plugs in the back of the unit. You can also do what I do and use an external SSD drive which works fine for my needs. If I ever need more storage I know I have expandability options. Ports: You have 3 USB ports- 2 in the back and one in the front. This should be plenty to charge your controller with the play and charge kit, expand storage and for usb connected headphones. However, if you have old astros, you will need to upgrade because there is no optical port. You can also get a special connector for optical usage but it is not a deal breaker. Of course you have HDMI, ETHERNET, and the expandable drive slot. Controller: Wish it had built in battery charger like PS5 does. However, the play and charge kits work fine and it makes sense they do this as internal batteries (like any batteries) will wear out overtime. Easy replacement! Controller feels comfortable, just wish they made the thumbstick a little larger for my big thumbs. I love the quick share option and I can use it on my iPad with Bluetooth for playing games on there. Overall it is awesome controller. Overall Review: Yes, it is worth the price. This thing is killer and if you already have a 4k display do spend the extra money and get the series X. I was going back and forth on this and I am so glad I got the best one available. The performance, speed, and overall visual experience is superior and Microsoft knows how to make a great gaming system being my last console lasted almost a decade (9 years).

Works great. Best Buy had it in stock when we came. Glad husband can play the games only available for this series. Only downfall is that there are games exclusive to this, that he couldn't play before. Great 4k quality though.

Absolutely love it! You don’t ever hear the fan, it’s so quiet even after hours of gaming. I hear the disc drive more (only when first inserting it). It’s sleek and can blend in with household furniture/decorations. I have no disconnection issues, no drive issues, no issues whatsoever with the console. If there’s one thing about this I can nitpick on, it’s that I first had it stored in a cupboard (always a bad idea) but the thing made the cupboard like a sauna so it certainly runs hot when the airflow is impeded. I definitely recommend getting the expansion card though. With the games being so huge (Call of Duty Cold War takes 200GB alone), you definitely want that card. I’ve owned Playstations and Xbox in the past and the online servers for PlayStation were down so often, I got sick of it and have never had an issue on any Xbox. For reference, I’ve owned PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360S, Xbox One and now the Series X. Trust me when I say XBox beats PlayStation for online gaming.

If you are trying to find a reason to compare this to PS5, leave this review. This ain't for you and won't be some "console war" type review telling you why the other sucks. The Series X is a proper powerhouse and testament to Microsoft's commitment to gaming. From amazing graphics to Quick resume, this system delivers the experience you expect from a next-gen console. GamePass is nothing short of the greatest deal to ever hit the videogame industry, for a small cost monthly getting access to hundreds of games that would cost you substantially more if you were to purchase them all separately. With Microsoft currently acquiring more and more studios, the future of games available on Series X will be exceptional, with Halo Infinite releasing in November. If you are looking for a console with performance gaming as its main focus with s huge library of current and future games, this console will not disappoint.

The gaming console offers a remarkable visual experience with its impressive processing power. Its quick loading times significantly enhance the overall gaming experience. The console's design is sleek and modern, complementing any entertainment setup. Moreover, the extensive game library provides ample choices for every gamer. Overall, it is an outstanding console that delivers exceptional performance and entertainment.

A very nice upgrade from my old XBOX ONE X.......it is ridiculously fast and upgrading took minutes. All your old accessories work even the rechargeable battery packs for the controllers. Moving your old games over from your console was simple as plug and play of your external HDD. Whisper quiet and does not emit much heat or almost any sound. Nice design that while it does not glaringly stick out on top next to my TV. Everything just runs faster and older games look fantastic and run smoothly. New games are gorgeous that I've tested on my 4K HDTV. Only issue in beginning was that the Series X does not support streaming to Windows 10 PCs like the old Xbox One models (but this if easily fixable by installing the Windows 10 Beta Streaming app and it works great). Console streaming to my android phones/tablets works flawlessly outside of the house too. Xbox Game Pass + EA Play is killing it and you don't have to spend $70 on games as they are all available to you immediately.

This console is such a leap ahead of my current Xbox one s….no comparison. Loading times, speed of switching through in game menus, 60fps. I’ll never play my one s again more than likely. Runs destiny 2 as easily as if it were a small mobile game. Absolutely flawless. I have always loved the Xbox platform. I like the tweaks they made to the new series x controller but can’t believe they haven’t made the jump to rechargeable like the PS4 and PS5. I really wish the controller was rechargeable but it’s not a deal breaker. Picked up a set of rechargeable batteries on Amazon which fixed the issue of burning through AAs. If you’re wondering whether it’s worth the upgrade even without a ton of series x exclusives it definitely is. The series x upgrades for older Xbox games make a huge difference. I don’t think the bundles that some other retailers are worth it which was why I loved the fact that Best Buy offered console only.
