If you are as excited about the upcoming launch of the Xbox Series X as we are, then you’ll want to check out our official unboxing of the hardware. In this quick video we look at the box, the Xbox Series X console, the controller, and the cabling that you’ll have in your hands very soon.
As you may have seen on other sites, there is a lot to be excited about with the Xbox Series X, including faster load times, quick resume, and essentially silent operation. I’m working through a lot of testing, but I will share a quick sneak peek with you to kick things off:
Load Times:
- Control – 61 seconds on Xbox One X

- Final Fantasy XV – 77 seconds on Xbox One X
- Final Fantasy XV – 14 seconds on Xbox Series X
- Red Dead Redemption 2 – 92 seconds on Xbox One X
