We got an early look at Microsoft’s Xbox Series X console. After a week of testing, we’ve found load times are dramatically improved, game performance feels smoother, and quick resume works on most games.
The Xbox Series X is Microsoft’s flagship console, serving as its most powerful (and biggest) option. While the Series S is aimed at smooth 1440p performance and takes a disc-less aproach, the $500 Series X is focused on fast, 4K gameplay.
