Buying call

Buy the Xbox Series X if you play through Game Pass and want the most powerful Xbox: reviewers praised its quiet cooling, fast SSD loading, 4K 120Hz support, Dolby Vision and Atmos, and the best backward compatibility of any console. Skip it if you want lots of exclusives, since many Microsoft games now also come to other platforms. It's large and heavy, the interface has barely changed, and media and social features feel dated.
