This review was last updated by Digital Trends contributor Cody Perez on 5/15/2020. When Microsoft unveiled the Xbox One X, an upgraded version of the Xbox One with an intimidating $500 price tag, it claimed the new hardware would be “the most powerful console ever made.” Years later, with the console in hand, we can confirm that the Xbox One X makes good on that promise. Well, at least until the Xbox Series X comes out later this year, that is. However, power on its own doesn’t always translate to improvements. Both loyal Xbox fans and potential PS4-owning converts are itching to know – does the most powerful Xbox truly improve games new and old? Short answer? It does. Every game we’ve played, whether it received an “Xbox One X Enhanced” patch or not, delivered a noticeable performance boost over the Xbox One and Xbox One S. It does this regardless of your setup — though the gain is most noticeable if you have a 4K HDR10 TV. While games look and run better, though, the differences are...

Improves performance for all games; Xbox One X Enhanced games look and run amazing; 4K UHD Blu-Ray player; Sleek design; Very easy to use;

4K recording options are limited; Timeliness of Xbox One Enhanced patches is unclear; Performance improvements can be unpredictable in non-Enhanced games;

The Xbox One X is by far and away the most capable 4K games console currently around. Yes, it will no longer be the most powerful console around soon, but its latest price point likely means it will present a significantly cheaper option to get native 4K HDR games onto your shiny new TV.

Super speedy; Packed with power and potential; Native 4K gaming at 60fps; Great 4K Blu-ray player; Dolby Atmos support;

It does still sit in the shadow of the looming Xbox Series X;

I bought this as a little treat to myself after all my hard work that I've been doing. I've never really been in to games so I thought I would give it a go and I must say I love it thank you to a.o for speedy delivery and at a great price for the bundle might I add

I bought this console just shy of 2 weeks ago, it came the day and time they said it would also looking at the games I got with it (gears of war 1 to 5) it would of cost me a lot more buying these from xbox itself I feel I have made a wise decision buying this product of very and will be buying more...

For being the cheapest xbox one x im happy but its not perfect!!! The box showed up perfect that it was shipped in but the box for the xbox came damaged. The xbox looked brand new checked the ports and plugs no issyes starting it but the controller back right panel came off and it looked properly...

Never owned a PS so I can't compare. Last console I owned was a Super Nintendo (wife had an XBOX 360 when we met that was rarely hooked up), so my first foray into current-gen consoles. Ex PC player mostly, though haven't played games much since before we had kids.

Shipping took a week and I received the wrong item (Ended up receiving an Xbox one S model) then I requested a replacement for the correct item and a week later I ended up getting another xbox one S bundle so they got my order wrong twice which anyone with a brain would be able to differentiate an...

It works when it wants to work, i recommend not getting the Xbox one x that was made in August, September, October and November, those ones are slow and have pix elating screens, we are now having to take it back for repair :( yes i recommend it but ones not made in the months provided.

Console hardware is a 5 star beast - even if I think the GUI is sluggish and clustered. Fallout 76 is not worth bundling a console with.
