But that isnt to say its not a fantastic piece of hardware, with a lot of potential.The next-gen Xbox is super-fast, surprisingly quiet, and delivers the kind of performance that we’ve previously only seen from high-end gaming PCs, ensuring that games both old and new look and perform better than ever before.Gaming PCs,…

Microsoft isnt pulling any punches with Xbox Series X, its flagship console that launches the newest generation of console gaming. Not only is the machine itself a monolithic behemoth with some serious polygon-pushing power inside, it hits shelves before arch-rival Sony gets PlayStation 5 on the market a potentially crucial window for Xbox to gather some next-gen converts to its cause.Yet aside…

For those reasons, we consider this a review in progress, and will update it extensively over the next several weeks, adding a final review score when appropriate.The Microsoft Xbox Series X is a…

The Xbox Series X sneaks up on you. Its a minimalist block with precisely one curve on the entire thing. And when you turn it on, the dashboard looks almost identical to the one that Xbox One gamers have been using for years. Even the power button makes the same beeps, and the packed-in controller is barely changed. Its not until you fire up a game and are launched into smooth, native 4K…

Microsoft’s new Xbox Series X console is designed to usher in a new era of gaming. We affectionally call it the next gen every time a big leap in console hardware arrives, promising new games and things we’ve never seen before. The Xbox Series X will undoubtedly deliver those in time, but for now, the big launch games, flashy new graphics, and next-gen games are still on their way. In the meantime,…

The console wars feel different this time around, dont they? Microsoft and Sonys long-awaited next-gen machines have a lot of pressure on their (admittedly bulky) shoulders; not only to prove that theyre worth investing in at launch, but also that their hardware can match the grand ambition of games developers in the future. After all, analysts predict that the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5…

(Pocket-lint) – Unlike most other technologies that opt for iterant upgrades yearly, gaming is usually a relatively static genre. Console generations linger for six-to-seven years before being fully replaced, with maybe one or two minor hardware updates and software refinements in the meantime.That’s why there’s generally a massive fuss whenever a new generation arrives. Not only does it…

There has never been a new generation of games consoles quite like the one including the Xbox Series X. Usually, a new console brings with it an opening volley of new and exciting games. The message: if you want to play the new games, you have to buy the new console.Thats not the case this time. Neither the Xbox Series X nor its major competitor, the PlayStation 5, have any exclusive games.…

You shouldn’t think of the Xbox Series X as an evolution of the Xbox One that launched in 2013. Always listening, frequently watching, and rarely responding as you believed that it should or hoped that it could Microsoft abandoned it and the battle for input one long ago. It’s better to think of the Xbox Series X as an iteration of the Xbox One as it exists today, and as a continuation of the…
