Have been using the Series X for a few days now. It is everything I wanted it to be and more.
Everything loads so fast with the SSD, and the framerates are buttery smooth in virtually game I have tested. I have been out of touch with console gaming recently due to the inconvenience in the past few years. Going back to the ancient long load speeds on my Xbox One after playing COD Mobile or PUBG on my phone didn't make sense. On top of that, the constantly dropping framerates on Xbox One was very noticeable. Because of this, my Xbox Controller has spent most of the past MCO months strapped to my phone mount for COD Mobile. Lot of phone comparisons I know, but I think it is relevant to the times.
I can safely say the Series X is pulling me back in to console gaming again. The drastically improved load times is such a huge improvement, fast travelling in Assassin's Creed Valhalla and switching cars in Forza Horizon 4 feels as fast as loading a game on a smartphone, except it's on a huge tv playing in 4K 60FPS with HDR! Testing out games which have suffered in performance last gen like PUBG and Jedi: Fallen Order and now running in locked 60FPS is just so exciting. Gears 5 is a great showcase and the multiplayer is more fun than I expected too.
Quick resume works like magic. Game pass is also the best value in gaming ever, nuff' said?
Seriously I'm having such a great experience that I am already shopping again thinking of which next Series X optimized game to get. I have been waiting so long to be this excited again for consoles, next gen is definitely here and it is off to an incredible start with Xbox.
