For me it's the opposite. I missed on so many games this now past gen and I'm also new to the xbox ecosystem so almost everything is new to me. It's frankly overwhelming.

My XSX stops downloading when I turn it off, I'm using instant on mode. Anyone share this problem?
Yup. My downloads also don't seem to want to work when I'm in-game.
Finally had time to set up and enjoy a pour of whiskey. This is a great console, Gears 5 on series X is gorgeous, and I love how snappy the dashboard is! Cheers Era
Downloads are way slower when a game is running (active or in the background).
what games haven't you played on Xbox that aren't available on PS? Maybe people could helpmove you into something if you give us some options. Or go to gamepass and hit the surprise me button? Also, don't forget that EA Play is now part of that ecosystem...
Yep
Here as well. Extremely frustrating as I've been trying to upgrade FH4 since 12:00 cst.

Cheers! That looks like some good spirits!
Can you turn off Quick Resume in the console settings? Might be a good idea for folks to disable it if possible to make sure no games or applications are running and slowing their downloads.
Same thing is happening to me on my One X. I cannot get through the Ice scene, before console shuts off. I figured it was a bug, so I've restarted the DL again since I have Fiber internet.
So Forza Horizon 4 has a black screen at the title screen and if you start a new game, the intro movie is also a black screen. Any ideas? I'm fully updated.
Does anyone have a good understanding of how these X/S updates are suppose to work. I had Dirt 5 installed on a external USB SSD. When I launched the game it said it needed an update for the Series X. So it downloaded it for a very long time. But now that it is done, the game when launched only lets you play two tracks, no menu, no settings screen and it has a "game installation progress bar" but in my download que the game is done.
When I use the dashboard it says it is saved in 2 locations, the internal and my usb SSD. But when you look for it on the USB SSD you can't find it. It is only on the internal now. No matter what I do, it wont let me play the actual game other than 2 tracks because it thinks it is still installing when there is nothing in my que.

Downloads don't slow down for me if I'm not actually running the game.
First Series X hard crash/freeze. Wanted to switch from one disc to another and it froze after ejecting it.
I was worried that my Series X was overheat but it's not even warm before it crashes and i tried Yakuza/Apex/Watch Dogs and they seem fine.
It's 60fps but juddery with frequent drops.
I've put my replay on hold waiting for a Series X now.
I love the new DPAD, I use stick for fighters but the new DPAD is EXCELLENT for Shmups and platformers and to think the Xbox 360 DPAD at one point was considered one of the worst. The Xbox controller has come a very long way.
The new Octogonal DPAD on the Series S|X controller feels precise and considering I'd typically prefer to use a 8Bitdo SN30 Pro+ on Steam, I'm half tempted to get a second Series X controller strictly for PC usage.
It's not mushy like most dpads. Each of the cardinal directions has a solid click that almost feels like a microswitch similar to that of an Arcade Stick.

I have yet to hear mine
I went to reboot it and it's not doing anything. Screen is black, power is still on. Wtf lol
edit: nvm it came back finally lol
You could invest in eneloop batteries. I have mine charging in the wall, but I'm sure they'll also charge em you usb the controller to the console.
1920p/60fps, same as Xbox One X.
It's essentially 4K, it's just not exact because it renders at exactly 16x the original resolution.
Yea, my one X Just cuts off, and when I restart it I get the console overheating message but it doesnt do it when I play any other game. My DL should be finished soon, so I can check to see if the first time around it was bugged or something. Weird.
Audio question
have a C9 using only the built in speakers, which audio setting do I want to use? Bitstream Out or Stereo Uncompressed?

Some thoughts so far:
- Its silent, I literally cannot hear it.
- Load in for new games and quick resume is immensely fast (coming from a One X).
- Controller is beautiful to hold and use. I love the grip textures.
- Played a couple game that were patched in like State of Decay 2, sooo buttery smooth now at 60 fps. I hope this is the standard framerate now because its supreme.
- The physical box itself is a lot smaller than I thought, its very sleek and stylish.

Yeah maybe I need to take it out and put it behind the TV so it doesn't overheat. Worried it doesn't have space.
I had to re-read that number like three times to realize it was right, lol
Tekken 7 has load times down to around 5 /6 seconds when you select a character. Pretty sure it was over 10 seconds on Xbox One X. Maybe even 15 sec.
But rematching is almost instant. It's awesome. I'm no longer able to take a glance at my phone during intermissions now. That's how much I'm used to downtime during loading screens.

Assuming you're using your phone for this post, you could use it as a hotspot to download the updates.
The triggers on the new Xbox controller are a good bit smaller than the Xbox one controller, I noticed it almost immediately when I held it then put them side by side, don't like that
the back of the controller also feels much rougher than the old controller almost like sand paper

just got mine plugged in and set up. first impression: I hate that the ui is the same. not that I hate the ui, it's... fine. but going up a generation and seeing the exact same shit is not exciting whatsoever. same goes with the controller. it's just more of the same. It's already a great controller, I get it... but still. new gen after 7 years and all, kind of hoped for more even though I've known for months it wouldn't be. Ps5 definitely has a bit more excitement factor there. but ps5 ain't have gamepass either sooo... looks like I get both anyway because I am a consumer whore. excited to try out quick resume and stuff. I need a better TV to appreciate anything else!
edit: I still can't believe how bad the game pass app is for looking at games. no way to full screen the trailer? really? can't left/right through screenshots... REALLY? MS you can do better
edit 2: downloads showing in Mbps instead of MB, not sure how I feel about that. guess it's whatever.
also, I thought tetris was a game pass game at launch? is it not?? :( :( edit3: okay, I found it, but I had to search for it. It wasn't showing in my game pass. Is this normal? How many other games have I been missing? :(

Same, I still have mines boxed actually, ill probably get gamepass.
Sorry guys, but asking ^ again. It seems like the system loses my internet connection sometime after I put it to sleep, rendering background downloads moot. It also goes through a signing in screen when firing the console up again that I assume is related to this. Not sure if it's the system or my network.
Feels like there's grip tape on the back of the controller. I like it. During my 3 hour session I don't think I had to take my hands off of the sticks to wipe the sweat off my palms.
Also I'm saying it again...Xbox finally has a standard controller with an awesome dpad. Love the clicks!
Love the build of the system.. love how snappy everything is. I can not wait to be blown away.. but I also have a hard time feeling like this is a new gen. I unplugged my X1X.. and logged into my XSX and it is all there.. yes it is faster and so forth but man we needed that it game to go with it. I think if even the UI was different I would be more into it. I understand why things are the way they are.. but it certainly is a strange transition.
Can't believe we're finally here. Can't power my dreams....until Thursday. Happy Easter Xbox!
