Microsoft’s flagship console continues to be one of the best ways into 4K gaming, especially when paired with a Game Pass subscription. At its current price, you’re getting a powerhouse that plays four generations of Xbox titles.

What You Get

The Series X packs a custom AMD Zen 2 CPU, RDNA 2 GPU, and a 1TB NVMe SSD that makes loading times almost non-existent. It supports 4K at up to 120fps, ray tracing, and Dolby Atmos spatial audio. The disc drive means you can pick up cheap second-hand games — something the digital-only models can’t offer.
