Four Years Later, Is The Xbox Series X | S Worth It?



Four years. It’s been almost four years since the Xbox Series X/S launched. It almost feels like yesterday when Microsoft confirmed rumors about this magical Project Scarlett and everything it had to offer. Despite the state of the world in 2020, the pair of consoles had a pretty strong launch, especially when stacked against the PS5.

However, things have been very up and down for the Xbox Series X/S since then. Microsoft has expanded on Game Pass and Xbox Game Studios, acquiring Bethesda, and others. Hardware sales have dropped significantly over time, though, and for all the games it’s revealed, Xbox is seemingly wanting more.

What does the console report card look like after all this time, and what’s next for the Xbox Series X/S? Join us as we look back at the console’s life cycle alongside its most defining releases (and mishaps).

Short answer? Yes, yes it’s very worth it. Gamepass alone justifies that

Didn't answer the question in the title... (You had ONE job)

Bought an Xbox series s about 2 years ago since PS5 was a rare sold out commodity at that time. Never regret the decision since xbox offers much affordable game pass and it's much cheaper in my region. Plus, since there are affordable premium controllers like the Gamesir series, who need the PS5 edge controllers. I could buy 4 gamesir controllers for one PS5 edge. I just paired mine with benq gaming monitor and the gameplay is awesome.

I got all 3 and the best value is Xbox 🤷🏿‍♂️ I got hella games to play thanks to game pass and I can play all my games including the ones on my Xbox that I bought outside of game pass anywhere thanks to all the features like clouding gaming and remote play all for a great value ❤️ the system did what it was suppose to do while still being affordable 😊

I have both the Series X and S systems. Series X in my home, and series S in my parents place where I go to visit for holidays and other events.

Both consoles are awesome, but I am most surprised with the series S, because I bought it for $250 ... At that price, it blew me away. Playing through most of BG3 on it for the holidays, it's been excellent so far. Solid 1080p/30 FPS. Way better than trying to play it on a steam deck docked to a TV.

Even tho my PS5 is my main console it’s been dry for a couple months with games & i’ve been on my xbox series x thanks to xbox game pass ultimate i’ve been playing black ops 6 vault edition upgrade for $35 along with indiana jones and the great circle also stalker 2.🥂✌🏾😎
@서민재-6974 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
Just need to buy XSX before GTA 6 comes out.
Cyberpunk 2077 Orion will be awesome too.
@angelserrano9049 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
When you have the series x you don’t need ps5. I would’ve been gotten one but Not enough exclusives on it.
@k29king1 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
I have both the Series X and PS5. The insinuation in this video that the Series X is a disappointment is pretty bogus. There’s lots Gaming Bolt omits about the SX and certain games it did have day one all in order to perpetuate a narrative for this video.
@ahmetyakn8529 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
Series S is such a great device I love it for how it is. Yes it would have been better if it had more vram but at this point I don't care. It's compaqt like a real gaming console not like other two abomination (og Ps5&XSX). It plays everything and I don't miss much about ps5 exulisives. Yes there are games I wish I had a way of playing on ps but other than that It's perfectly fine.
My most favorite future is Xbox is that smart delivery option. If my last gen games have native port I don't have to pay for it.
@_AJAXXX January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
Dislike from me
@codezero7981 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
yes, both are worth it even more so the Series X.
@DrSchmerz January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
Not the Xbox X. I felt ripped off since the S came out and everything got throttled.
@Luke25958 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
Ordered a series X this week mainly for Microsoft flight simulator and forza titles i love that i just can't get on ps5. Looking forward to playing it and appreciating the differences and what it can offer.
@donaldroberts9006 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
no handheld with dock the best
@rashofbeatings January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
I bought one yesterday, tried installing 2 different games and had nothing but problems all day long. Would never install from disc. Getting my money back on it tomorrow
@PlainKen January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
It's funny how they talk about Sony when compared to Microsoft but no mention how bad both companies are getting spanked by Nintendo.
@evan-2267 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
i have the Xbox Series X and the ps5 both are great tbh but i prefer the Series X more i don’t know why it has so many features with a great Subscription service it really does Make me pay less ( so much less ) and play more
@ibeeverywhere January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
I love the ps5 and pro I hate the controller. I play the series x if the game is on both
@shawnoconnor9692 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
After gaming on and xbox one since 2018 then buying a series x in 23, i was underwhelmed. Had to double check that the one x wasnt still plugged in
@sting7789 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
I got a Series S for old games I may update to a Series X for more space eventually.
@dangerdude19 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
I want an Xbox Series X Pro
@lindihoxhaj4095 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
Xbox worth until they going fully third party game publisher and not console maker, after that xbox its gonna be useless console, because all their exclusives is gonna be on playstation, so there is no reason for people to own xbox console.....why would u buy an xbox when you can play whole their games in playstation.....
@NotLink182 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
I sure hope that the next Xbox isn’t a slightly polished version of the system before it with little to no major changes or additions for hundreds more dollars and no big exclusives… Again…
@adamdavis1737 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
Only if you already had a large Xbox game library to transfer over do I think it's worth it. Otherwise at this point just get Game pass on PC
@zackmeaders6199 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
I dont understand all the xbox hate. I love game pass, and I have more games than I have time to play them. I don't care about exclusives and mid gen pro consoles, I dont care about consoles being digital only. Im very happy with my series s and I think most casual gamers would agree. But gamers are also just the whiniest critics ever
@ThunderTheYellowJolteon January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
I am NOT spending $1000 just for more games.

A PC for $1000 is simply NOT worth it.

PC gaming is cheaper than console gaming, so building an entire gaming PC should be LESS than a console.

I'm going to build a $650 gaming PC that'll compete with the 2TB Galaxy Black Xbox Series X. A high-end gaming PC that's more powerful than a console is NOT even worth it for the money at all.
@andreasmoller9798 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
No
@chomar97 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
Series S is one of the best gaming systems ever made. I bought 2 of them.
@rrlom-t6x January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
Had my XSX halo edition stolen went back to my XB1X gold edition half a year later ordered myself the XSX galaxy black edition. Arriving 3rd Dec can't wait to rock series x again 🔥
@johanvandenberg3861 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
The comment section for xbox always filled with ps hate towards it. Aw well, back to my game nothing new here.
@switchboy2320 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
The system itself is amazing. But microsoft needs to give care to it
@theragewithin3135 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
Nope.
@nextgengaming6614 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
Xbox has failed with games no matter how you look at it 4 years of nothing
@nextgengaming6614 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
Sadly I’ve switched to PlayStation I’ll be back in the future
@johnathanross6519 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
No, in my opinion. My series X became a paper weight, and the game pass got stale. Canceled my subscription months ago and never looked back. I'm sticking to PC and my switch.
@Lucky_9705 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
Xbox needs to focus on their exclusive output more than anything because it drives competition and pushes them as well as PlayStation into making better games for the consumer. They have really given up in this area and it shows.
@pb2325 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
Nope.
@NasserGamerZone January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
worst video ever, this is a recap for all events happened for xbox, not a review for the console after 4 years
dislike big time
@dkelli6020 January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
I have yet to see a reason to buy this over a PS5. Still don’t see a reason to even buy it as a companion console. I wanted Gears 6, not the prequel E day they decided to go with. Forza is the only other exclusive I like on XboX.

Feels like MS lost interest 1/2 way through the 360’s life cycle and has been missing ever since.
@residentsteve January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
No.
@OptimusPerformante January 5, 2025 - 3:00 pm
Ohhhh hell yes. Xbox rocks
