Xbox Series X Review

 

We've reviewed the Xbox Series X three years after release, as we evaluate the hardware, software and the game library.

Sleek and premium design ; Xbox Game Pass offers a stunning level of value ; Quick Resume is a game changer ; SSD makes games and applications faster than ever

User interface and overall design is very familiar ; Not as many high-quality exclusives as PS5 and Switch

The Xbox Series X doesn’t win on exclusive games, but when it comes to features it is an amazing bit of kit, with highlights including Quick Resume, Smart Delivery and Xbox Game Pass. However, it is in danger of falling behind in design, with a new PS5...

Xbox Series X review: Microsoft's next-gen flagship rated

 

Read T3's Xbox Series X review now to find out if this is the next-gen console you should buy

The most powerful console ; Strong backwards compatibility ; Easy expandable storage

Console design is uninspired ; Only about 800GB of 1TB drive useable ; Launch line-up of games is underwhelming

In creating this Xbox Series X review, one thing has become very clear – from a hardware point of view Microsoft has absolutely nailed it with its next-gen flagship.

Xbox Series X review

 

Next-gen gaming is here! Or is it?

4K games look and play better ; Blu-ray player and lots of apps ; Almost silent operation

No exclusive games ; Noisy disc drive ; Unchanged operating system

It feels more like a refinement than a true generational leap, but the Xbox Series X is still an excellent 4K gaming machine

Xbox Series X review: A next-gen powerhouse

 

The Series X is the flagship of the Xbox ecosystem, but does its compatibility with current-gen machines and games also diminish its wow factor?

Extremely powerful ; Superfast in menus and loading times ; Built to last in both body and specs ; Capable of native 4K gaming at 60fps ; Also supports up to 120fps gaming

Heavy and chunky - hard to hide away in standard TV cabinets ; Lacks wow factor due to software similarity

In the Series X, Xbox has built the self-proclaimed "most powerful games console" on the planet. It is extremely fast in operation, making mincemeat of both menu browsing and loading times for games, and is a great choice for those with a big back...

Microsoft Xbox Series X review: it’s getting better all the time

 

Microsoft's top-end console is a 4K monster, with Game Pass making it an appealing all-rounder. Here's our fully updated Xbox Series X review.

Hellish load times a thing of the past ; Quick Resume is great (when it works) ; Ridiculously powerful ; Makes old games look better ; Game Pass is only getting better

Not many optimised titles at launch, and even fewer new ones ; 1TB SSD will fill up fast ; Not the most attractive design

A beast of a next-gen console that’s fully future-proofed, while Game Pass is the best value video game subscription service by a mile

Xbox Series X Review

 

The Xbox Series X is out now, offering a big power upgrade and some remarkable new features; but should it be your top-choice new console to see you through this generation?

— it’s very powerful and innovative

What we didn’t like — lacks tempting exclusives

The Xbox One X is a great console that gets so much right. It offers all the power you need – notably more than a PS5 – and puts it to work for useful new features such as Quick Resume, that will improve your gaming experience. One of the few weakness...

Xbox Series X

 

The Xbox Series X is the most powerful Xbox ever, but outside of the game-changing SSD most players won't see a reason to upgrade - yet.

A beast of a next-gen console that’s fully future-proofed, but needs a few more games to make it sing

Xbox Series X review

 

In-depth review with focus on gaming, media/apps, and new HDMI 2.1 features

Great graphics ; HDMI 2.1 opens door to 4K120, more ; Quiet in operation ; Xbox Game Pass service ; Backwards compatibility ; SSD & Quick Resume

Lack of AAA launch titles ; Big, energy-hungry box ; Not a "next-gen" gaming experience yet ; Media/app features ; HDR/Atmos upconversion by default

Microsoft Xbox Series X Review: 31 Days Later

 

The Xbox Series X is a great console proposition with amazing backward compatibility support and an ace in the hole in Xbox Game Pass.

Great design ; Xbox Game Pass gives the console a value bonus ; Possibly the console for western RPGs in the very near future ; Surprisingly small form factor

Lacks Wi-Fi 6 ; Limited and expensive expandable storage options ; No rechargeable option for controllers ; No launch titles that showcase the console's horsepower
