Xbox Series X: 4 Month Review

It’s been 4 months since I picked up the Xbox Series X, and it’s been a great next-gen console, but it’s not been 100% perfect. This is my 4 months later, honest review of the Xbox Series X. What I like, dislike, what I’d change and what issues I’ve had. #xbox #xboxseriesx #review

We’ll take a look at the controller, games, UI, speed, storage, gamepass, quick resume and loads more. So if you're thinking "should I buy an Xbox Series X?", let me answer that today.

Ultimately, would I recommend getting an Xbox and is it worth upgrading from the Xbox One X?

I’m more impressed that there’s not a single visible wire in sight

I love the aesthetics of your room and stuff. It feels oddly satisfying. Very good video production, I can see you're well equipped.

For me, it's the quietness of the Xbox Series X that is genuinely impressive. I play in a very quiet room so I can normally hear even the slightest fan rev up or electronic buzzing - but the XSX is truly silent unless I put my ear to it. It's an impressive feat of engineering - and one I really do appreciate!

Youtube is the real chad here. Showing me this 4 Months Later review after 4 months. Neat!

[MatthewEncina]

I still haven’t gotten my hands on this yet. Someday I’ll catch a restock.

"I literally don't know what the fans sound like". Ahaha this one made me laugh out loud as I just had the same thought after a few hours of gaming on my Series X last night. Don't know how they did it, but the console is legit SILENT.

Thanks for the review. I've just bought a Series X and it's still in the box. The main reason I bought it, is with the backwards capability, I can play all my Lego games with my Grandson. And the bonus of a 4K Bluray player. I haven't been online for a few years now, doubt if I can remember my Xbox login. Oh well. Looking forward to using this.

I love how organized your place is. I’m gonna be working on cable management when I get my items on Friday

I have the Xbox Serious X too and it's such a luxury console, once games like Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5, Elder Scrolls 6, Avowed, Hellblade 2, Fallout 5 and Indiana Jones come out this system is truly going to shine

I was looking to get a PS5 but can’t get one anywhere so managed to pick up a series x and I am very happy with it. Will get a PS5 later in the year.

Finally found a content creator that does not throw more fuel into the stupid console wars. Pretty comprehensive, unbiased and insightful review to the Series X. Subscribed

This is the best review that I've seen... I got our Xbox Series X a few days ago and it is really awesome! Hopefully it will stay that way...

[sjohnson]

Your setup is absolutely epic. So clean and crisp, hardly any wires to be seen. Where do you hide the wires? Great review by the way

[SetTheCaptivesFree]

I’ve had mine since launch. Runs beautifully! Extremely quick loading. Gorgeous graphics. Not a problem yet.

[androidwonderland]

I’m confused which next gen console to buy. I already have PS 4 and I am quite sceptical whether buying xbox will be a worthy one. What do you recommend to a person who used PS4 for last 5 years?

[ballin]

6:20 Ive noticed this too. I think it has something to do with how Xbox has always been a much more serious multiplayer focused console. PS has always focused more on single player experiences. Gears and Halo are a perfect example. Both games have pretty huge skill gaps and both have cultivated huge followings that have gotten used to very difficult multiplayer over years and years of play. My guess is over time once these communities branched out into other games, the brought with them there competitive edge. I could be wrong but i dont think there has been a PS exclusive thats done the same.

[orangedrone]

The Elite Series 2 has a built in battery.

[TheShapingSickness]

What I like about your videos is that you're 100% honest, no fanboyisms of any kind.

[ToastyBunsMcGee]

I’ve had it since launch and I absolutely love it! I also have no idea what the fans sound like 😂

[SirPootington]

when it comes to the connectivity of the controllers being weird, a quick fix i found is to plug in the controller directly to the xbox
