The Xbox Series X will be able to play games four times faster than the current version and instantly swap between a few titles.

While journalists have not been able to review the Xbox Series X in its entirety, nor have they been able to try any Xbox Series X games yet, recently released previews have given us an idea of the console's backward compatibility, software, and interface features.

Tom Warren of The Verge described switching from the Series X to the Xbox One X during the preview as "like going from cable Internet back to 56k modem days," although the overall user experience is still close to the previous generation He said. If you weren't online in the late 90s, trust us when we tell you it's pretty slow. [Warren recorded load times for several games on the Series X and One X. While the games have not yet been optimized for the Series X, load times have been reduced by 25% to 80%, overall, depending on the game. The most impressive game on the list was "The Outer Worlds," which saw its load time reduced from 27 seconds to 6 seconds. [GameSpot's Michael Higham recorded similarly impressive numbers. In his tests, "Red Dead Redemption" loaded in 38 seconds on the Xbox Series X compared to 2 minutes and 8 seconds on the Xbox One X, and "Control" started up in just 10 seconds on the Xbox Series X compared to nearly a minute on the Xbox One X. The Xbox One X has 6 TFLOPs of graphics computing power, while the Series X has over 12 TFLOPs. As a result, according to Warren, playing games like Destiny 2 is more enjoyable and feels more like playing on a PC than on a console.

Quick resume also seems particularly useful. It is a further evolution from the current generation feature that allows you to jump back into a game as soon as you turn the console back on, and it allows you to suspend and jump through multiple games, as some games, like Sea of Thieves, have this feature disabled due to its emphasis on multiplayer, Not all games can use it.

We'll have to wait a little longer to find out what it's like to play launch titles on the Xbox Series X, but hopefully it won't be too long; the console launches on November 10, so we'll be able to see for ourselves in another month. Until then, Xbox will no doubt continue to dangle teasers like this one to journalists to show why the Xbox is the console to choose over the PS5.
