When you boot the Series X, although the Xbox start-up logo is new, the User Interface is not. It's the same UI as the Xbox One. As a tech enthusiast, I enjoy exploring a new UI or OS to see what's new and different but for many people that is a chore. Microsoft made the decision to make the transfer from Xbox One to Series X|S as seamless as possible and that makes sense as most people will just want to turn the Xbox on and get into their favourite game as fast as possible.
The SSD that Microsoft has put in the Series X|S is really fast. From powered off the console boots in seconds and can launch a game in a few seconds more. For comparison, I booted Red Dead Redemption 2 on my old Xbox One and it took 2:48 to go from Xbox Dashboard to playing the game. On the Series X, it took 0:38 seconds. Navigating the Xbox Dashboard is now lag-free compared to the Xbox One.
The SSD is labelled as 1TB but there is 802GB of usable space. This is a result of two things; the OS installation and the difference between what the OS and the storage manufacturers call a gigabyte. To the OS, 1GB = 1,073,741,824 bytes whereas storage manufacturers state that 1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. The difference is roughly 70MB per GB.
If you have a USB hard drive, you can still use it to play any Xbox, Xbox 360 or Xbox One games but you won't benefit from the faster load times. Personally, I use it as mass storage as moving a game from my USB drive to the internal SSD is faster than downloading it. Any game that is Series X|S optimised can only be played from the internal SSD or the Seagate Expansion Card that slot in the back of the console. Microsoft have made it easy to identify which games are X|S Optimised as the have a big, white X|S logo over the game icon.
When in use, the Series X is extremely quiet. I don't even think I've heard the console apart from the start-up chime (which can be disabled in Settings). I've read reports of the console getting hot but I have not experienced this. Yes, it gets warm when it's in use, but this is normal for any piece of technology whether it's an Xbox, a phone, a tablet or a TV. As long as the top of the console is not obstructed, the heat will be dispersed.
The controller has been slightly redesigned as well. It has retained the same shape but now has a grippier texture on the back and the shoulder buttons and triggers now have a matte finish. The triggers also have the grippy texture that is on the back of the console. I wasn't sure if I'd like this at first but after an hour or so, I got used to it and now prefer it to my Xbox One controllers (which will work with the Series X|S). The controller also has a share button which when pressed takes a screenshot, and takes a recording when held. It's not ground-breaking stuff, but it's a nice addition.
In the box is a 14-day trial of Game Pass Ultimate, which, in my opinion, is currently the best deal in gaming. You get access to a library of over 100 games and with the launch of Series X|S you also get access to EA Play. It also includes Xbox Game Pass for PC and Xbox Live Gold Membership allowing you to play online and receive free games through the Games With Gold promotion. Any new game made by Microsoft Studios or a studio owned by Microsoft is available through Games Pass the day it releases.
My biggest complaint is the storage space. With games getting bigger and bigger as resolutions increase, 1TB (802GB usable space) is simply not enough. I installed 5 games and was already using more than 75% onf the internal SSD.
My other complaint would be that there should be more USB ports. There are 3 USB-A ports (two on the back and one on the front). I have a USB hard drive, and USB receiver for my headset and a charging dock for my controllers connected. I would have like Microsoft to have included a USB-C port as they are becoming more common, and that is what my headset receiver uses (without the need for an adapter).
Overall, I love my Series X and it is a huge improvement from the Xbox One. Even though the OS is the same and navigating the menus doesn't feel new, every game looks better and loads faster and at the end of the day, that's all that really matters, right?
