The Xbox Series X was designed by people who believe in games

A month from now, gamers will begin getting their hands on the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. And after a few weeks with the Xbox Series X, I’m ready to move on from the current generation of consoles. I can talk about my full experience with the console now, but my original impressions story is still relevant. I don’t want to go back to Xbox One or PlayStation 4. The Xbox Series X is so much better.

By now, if you’ve paid attention, you know what to look forward to. You won’t see a striking difference in screenshots. We’ve hit a point of diminishing returns for game visuals. But playing games on the Xbox Series X is faster, more responsive, and all-around more pleasant. It’s especially noticeable when going back to the Xbox One X to make some comparisons. Unlike that aging console, the Xbox Series X feels like it was built by people who believe in video games. Maybe they have plans to sell you TV and video content, but the obvious primary goal is to get you on Xbox Game Pass and playing more games than you ever have before. And the Xbox Series X is a joy to use for that task.
