  • It’s been just over a year since the Xbox Series X launched, and during that time we’ve seen new games, updated features and new accessories. But what’s it actually like to use, and what improvements have we seen since it was released? Is Game Pass worth it?
    Today I’ll be covering my first year gaming on the Xbox Series X, showing the games, console design, performance, storage options, UI and the Xbox app.

      Some of those features would be nice on the SX controller and from what I've heard they are coming but I still prefer the SX controller just because of the comfort. PS5 hurts my hands after a short time of playing. I use the SX for all third party games and PS5 for it's exclusives.

    Whilst it’s kind of mentioned, I think it’s really important to note that from a storage perspective, xbox, 360 and one games can be played from external hard drives. I got a massive 4TB one and manage my memory by storing anything not optimised to that and keep anything that is optimised on there as it’s much faster to transfer from there than re download from the internet. Love my Series X since launch day. Such a great evolution of the Xbox one. Game pass is a total game changer.

    I bought it for Forza Horizon 5 mainly. Hands down my favourite racing game of all time. Absolutely brilliant and looks superb. Also, biggest thing for me is the load times. I know it sounds silly, but we’re so used to devices instantly getting you into content now (phones, iPads etc). Couldn’t go back to an old system with the mega long load and boot up times.

      @@LittleWing-35 so Halo CE - 3 (CE is the original Halo if you aren't aware) is probably the greatest story in all of gaming told across multiple games. You can get 6 Halo games in the Master Chief Collection and while I don't care for all of them equally it's definitely worth it. Infinite has the best multiplayer (as far as mechanics go) so it's definitely worth trying since it's free even without gamepass or Xbox live gold.
      If you end up loving Infinite's multiplayer then I would go play the MCC and maybe Halo 5 if you want to go into Infinite's campaign. If you do this you'll probably also want to watch a playthrough of Halo Wars 1 and 2 because they have a big play on Infinite's story.

    I went from the PS4 Pro to an Xbox Series X. Not for any reason but I wanted to try something new. My last Xbox was the Xbox 360 (red ring of death) but I’m super impressed with the Series X 💚. I got an elite controller too and putting the thumb sticks as smooth, aggressive or instant has made a massive difference to me and playing FPS and movement is quick. What I can’t find much info on is Dolby Vision Gaming, does it make a difference or is it just more of a preference? Is it smoother or something? I think the future either way will be awesome and I can’t wait

    I own both the Series X and the PS5. I have owned every xbox and playstation to date. This generation has got to be the closest in terms of quality. Last generation I played 99% of the time on PS4. The generation previous to that Xbox 360 smashed it out the park. PS3 just couldn't compete in my opinion, even with it's exclusives. This generation though I'm split between the two. I like the haptic feedback triggers on the PS5 dual sense so I tend to buy more games on PS5. Game pass on the Series X is an absolute game changer though. Both consoles are just as good as each other this generation, it just comes down to personal preference. You'll be happy whichever console you own.

    I honestly believe the SX is better than the Ps5 as far as design and services. In my opinion the only advantage Ps5 has at the moment is exclusives. Some how some way Sony is just better at putting out better games. Meanwhile Microsoft is spending billions buying studios while Sony really don't have to answer that! They already have the exclusives! That could change but I don't see SX competing with their exclusives for at least another 3 to 4 years! Reason being they just acquired Bethesda and the Activision acquisition wont be finalized until 2023... That means Sony still has games already in development from both studios coming... XS wont benefit from exclusives from either studio until all game deals with Sony are over then it will take another 2 to 3 years to develop an exclusive game specifically for SX! In other words we wont start to see exclusives made for SX from either until maybe the end of the console cycle! An of course we will get Starfield which is exclusive other than that it will be a while.

    All my life I've had PlayStation's but after 4 months of debating and looking at multiple different reviews I finally ordered the Series X last night and I'm beyond excited for a new experience!!

    Got my series X a year ago. Haven't been this happy with a console since the 360 of maybe even the Wii.
