Today the embargo on the publication of first impressions of the next-generation console by journalists has been lifted Xbox series x… Microsoft sent the expected gaming system in advance to a number of Western publications and bloggers, who now, having carefully familiarized themselves with the device, are in a hurry to share the test results.
It is noteworthy that all press checks were carried out on the basis of projects from the current generation, launched within the framework of the backward compatibility system.… No exclusive new generation titles specially optimized for work on Xbox series x, journalists could not try.
Download speed
The main feature that all sources are drawing attention to is the download speed of the data on the new console. This applies both to the operation of the system itself, thanks to which users can very quickly begin to interact with the interface, and to download games directly. Some titles are now uploaded to 70-80% faster.
For example loading in an RPG Final Fantasy XV on Xbox series x takes only 13 secondswhile on Xbox one x this indicator is 1 minute and 11 secondsas reported GameSpot…
More clearly with the difference in the speed of downloading games on Xbox series x and Xbox one x can be found below in a convenient table:
Performance
The next point is productivity growth on the example of old projects.
First of all, of interest are games that, when released on current systems Xbox onerelied on dynamic resolution and frame rate.
Thanks to the capacities Xbox series x now they almost always work at the highest possible values of both values…
The press cites as an example Final Fantasy XV in performance mode, which now works in stable on the new console 60 frames, almost completely bypassing any drawdowns previously seen on Xbox one x… The same goes for hardcore action. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twicepointing to Xbox series x stable 60 frames per secondthan any console version previously could boast…
Technical team Digital foundry has not yet prepared her own material, but also noted flattering words about the facilities Xbox series x… Using a fighting game as an example Dead or alive 6launched in 4K mode, fromexperts have shown that the performance of the new console is enough to handle the project in the iron 60 framesalthough on Xbox one x the game offered a floating frame rate, most often holding on values between 30-40 frames…
It is important to reiterate that all the games mentioned above show similar results without any additional optimization or adjustments by the developers. – this is just the result of running them on a more powerful and productive hardware Xbox series x… The improvements are automatic.
Quick Resume System
The Velocity architecture and SSD enable Xbox Series X not only to dramatically reduce download times, but also to effectively improve the user experience by offering simultaneous access to a range of concurrent projects.
So, according to press reviews, the feature advertised by Microsoft works without any conventions or unpleasant restrictions.
In its publication, the GameSpot portal noted that the journalists managed to keep 6 games running simultaneously at once, between which you can freely switch at any time, while the process of changing the desired application took on average 5 to 8 seconds.
Separately, it is noted that the system remembers the games you run even if you decide to completely shut down or restart the Xbox Series X. In other words, by disconnecting the power from the system and turning it on again, from the continuation of the gameplay in the very place where you previously stopped your progress, you will be literally separated by a few seconds…
A curious moment has to do with the fact that by now Quick Resume supports all games. For example, the system could not “pick up“ Sea of thieves, this project had to be restarted every time…
This can be explained by the fact that “Sea of Thieves“is a development focused on multi-user experience, so the system in any case needs additional time to connect and synchronize with game servers.
First reviews
In general, the press has published positive impressions. Almost all journalists unanimously note that Xbox series x represents a real step forward over the current generation of consoles Xboxby offering a familiar and familiar experience, only in a dramatically improved way.
Journalists write that the return to Xbox one after Series X feels like an absolute regression, comparable to being suddenly forced to use the old dial-up internet over a telephone line after modern download speeds.
As for the full-fledged games “new generation“, their press, as well as the general users, have yet to see. Xbox series x and Xbox series s a host of projects will support the exciting new features of fresh gaming devices, offering visual enhancements, download speeds, ray tracing support, and more. Until then Xbox series x confidently attracts with a variety of its technical and system features, pleasing with increased speed and performance.
