Xbox Series X

S SPACE4GAMES Ilona Frank · reviewer · Feb 2026

Bottom line: Yes, the Xbox Series X is still worth it in 2026. It remains one of the most powerful consoles on the market, continues to receive brand-new titles, offers an excellent ecosystem with Game Pass, and has become more attractive thanks to falling prices.

For the Xbox Wireless Controller, "next-gen" just means "the next step." Small changes make notable improvements without reinventing the gamepad.

The Xbox Series X launches with new Gears 5 enhancements that truly showcase what the Xbox Series X can handle fidelity wise. The Xbox Series X is capable of outputting native 4K at 60FPS and the Coalition claims it can push above that and go all the way to 4K at 120fps. This is our performance analysis of the Xbox Series X and Gears 5 on next-gen hardware.

Corden says "I'm told Microsoft expects the Gen-9 Xbox Series X|S to have a longer tail than usual", in-part due to a "broadening hardware ecosystem" once the more expensive next-gen system(s) enter the market.

The strongest final takeaway is simple: the Xbox Series X remains one of the safest long-term console investments because its lifecycle is still far from over in 2026.

The Xbox Series X is still my favourite home console as we hit 2023 and this long term review runs through the games situation, and compares it vs the Sony PS5. While the Xbox Series X isn't a portable wonder like the Steam Deck, I still think it's the best choice against the PS5.

And I think the first thing to remember here is that this particular gaming console was a very, very good one when it first came out. And I still think in a lot of ways it still is like a very beautiful type of console. There are a lot of benefits with going through and buying this type of device. Number one, on the exterior, I love the design of it, and I love the way it looks.

I think so. I bought one a couple of weeks ago and I'm quite impressed by it.

All right. So, I want to talk about the Xbox Series X again because honestly, I've been playing this thing quite a lot lately, and it might be one of my favorite pieces of tech in 2025, despite being what, four or 5 years old at this point.

The PS5 has become known for its strong lineup of exclusive games and immersive DualSense controller, while the Xbox Series X stands out for Game Pass, Quick Resume, and incredible backwards compatibility.

For it still being less than the PlayStation Plus, I think it's a great deal. And plus, you get multiple different options. And three, the actual games on there are actually half-decent now. So, for example, I saw Expedition 33 for the Game Pass. On the PlayStation Plus, we don't have it on any subscription service at all.

And look, I think they're all absolutely fantastic consoles. I think that each one does specific things better than each other, but I don't think one of them is overall the better console. I collect for all three consoles as well, as you can see around me, you know, I've got a lot of love for Sony, for the PlayStation. I've got a lot of love for Nintendo, all their consoles in the past.

Whether I've got 15 minutes before work or I'm settling in for a 5-hour grind on the weekend, the Series X has been a reliable workhorse. You hit the power button and you're in. Fast, silent, and steady. Even after 5 years, I've never had to send it in for repairs. No overheating, no weird power cycles.

Overall, I’d still rate my experience around a 7.9/10 . It has been mostly positive, but these recurring issues do take away from it. If things don’t improve next generation, I might seriously consider switching over to PlayStation, which is a bit of a shame because I’ve genuinely enjoyed being part of the Xbox ecosystem.

Honestly, it's actually kind of nice to have that kind of extra storage, but this one's expensive.

The current console generation hasn't given us the usual trend of gradually decreasing console prices — both the Series X and S have actually risen quite substantially over the years, to the point where even a "deal" can be more expensive than buying at launch.

G GameSpot GameSpot · 5.7M subscribers · Nov 2020

While the console lacks a strong lineup of launch titles, due in part to the delay of Halo: Infinite, the Xbox Series X is still a confident display of next-generation technology. But you’ll learn a whole lot more about that in the video review.

The Series X version largely mirrors the base PlayStation 5 code, for better and for worse, while the Series S offers a more constrained - but still ultimately viable - experience.

E Engadget Engadget · 1.4M subscribers · Nov 2020

The Series X delivers on the promise of gorgeous 4K gaming, and is a well engineered, if bulky machine, but it doesn't have many new games to back it up. Sony's launch slate is stronger, and for folks without a 4k HDR TV, the Series S is much cheaper and probably a better deal. Still, for Xbox fans looking for maximum performance in a sleek design, the Series X isn't going to disappoint.

Neither is dramatically more or less reliable—it often comes down to individual unit variance and how the console is used.

Microsoft was probably expected to do better than it has done, especially when you look at major errors like the launch of Redfall and the barren year that was 2022, but at the same time, there’s also been undeniable progress where the output of game releases is concerned.

So, the Xbox Series X has been out for about 5 years now, and I feel like I'm somehow a minority for still loving this thing even today. On one hand, you have Microsoft who has stripped away a ton of value with both price hikes on the console itself as well as Game Pass. But on the other hand, you've also got the PC components market absolutely dissolving in terms of affordability due to our AI pu

On the one hand, it's still super snappy and deliver expected performance, but on the other hand, the company behind it is making some questionable decisions at the moment. It's like the hardware is doing its job, but the strategy behind it, that's where things get kind of murky. But before you actually clown on the Xbox Series X and the company behind it, you have to see if the decisions made act

On paper, the Xbox Series X still has the raw power advantage. Its GPU boasts 12 teraflops compared to the PS5's 10.28 and it CPU slightly faster. But in 2025, that spec sheet doesn't tell the whole story. Sony's super fast custom SSD remains a key differentiator. It lets developers do things with level design and game flow that are simply not possible on the competition.
