The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The 1TB solid-state drive loads games much faster than older consoles, and a feature called Quick Resume lets you jump between multiple games and pick up exactly where you left off.
- It plays games from four generations of Xbox hardware, so your old game collection still works, and many older titles run better on this console than they did originally.
- You get one wireless controller in the box, but expanding storage or adding Game Pass requires buying those separately.
As of Aug 16, the Xbox Series X is overpriced at $798 — versus a $634.71 typical price and a $349 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
