The Xbox series X is the most powerful gaming console Microsoft makes. Large and cuboid but completely silent, it matches the performance of a high-end gaming PC – loading games in a snap and booting up menus in a fraction of a second.

In our recently updated Xbox series X review, our tester concluded: “If you’re invested in your back catalogue of Xbox games and want to see them at their absolute finest, the Xbox series X is the best way to play”.

While there aren’t as many exclusives as there are on the PS5, the console’s library has grown significantly since it was first released in 2020. Xbox Game Pass is worth every penny, as the subscription service offers access to hundreds of games for a flat monthly fee.
