Xbox Series X Review

The next-gen has finally arrived after months of waiting. Both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X have been launched, introducing gamers to a brand new generation of games. This means that gamers can finally experience faster load times, higher frame rates, and better resolutions. Of course, the Xbox Series X also includes a variety of additional features like ray tracing and Quick Resume.

But how far forward is the new console? The truth is, Microsoft’s system is a huge improvement over Xbox One. However, it may not be worth it for everyone to upgrade right now. Most gamers will likely be able to wait for the developers to truly gain control of the new hardware.

Full specifications for Xbox Series X

The Xbox Series X boasts slightly more impressive specs than the PlayStation 5. It also comes with a 1TB solid-state drive, though gamers will only have around 800GB free to use. This is because 14% of the total space is reserved for the operating system and features such as Quick Resume.

The full specifications are as follows:

• Custom AMD Zen 2 CPU (8 cores @ 3.8GHz)
• Custom AMD RDNA 2 GPU (12 teraflops)
• 16GB GDDR6 RAM
• 1 TB SSD
• 4K UHD Blu-ray Drive
• 4K at 60fps, up to 120fps or 8K

Design and shape

There is no escaping the fact that Xbox Series X is a great console. It’s nearly twice the size of the original Xbox One and comfortably bigger than the Xbox Series S. But it’s not nearly as big or heavy as the PlayStation 5. In my opinion, it also has a better design than Sony’s new system.

The black coloring and minimalist style make it easy to fit into most home setups. Especially when compared to the rather controversial design of the PlayStation 5. The shape also allows the Xbox Series X to run silently. Even during prolonged gaming sessions, the console doesn’t seem to overheat or get excessively noisy. He can also easily lie on his side without any modification.

Xbox Series X also includes a brand new controller. There is no question that the wireless gamepad is an improvement over the standard Xbox One controller. While not as advanced as the Elite controller, it feels good and works well. The most noticeable improvement is the d-pad, which now has a much better feel.

Of course, the Xbox Series X also has a big advantage as it supports older peripherals. Gamers can connect Xbox One accessories and controllers to Xbox Series X without any problems. This is a great decision and ensures that customers won’t have to invest extra money.
