The “Xbox Series X” game machine launched in Japan by Microsoft on November 10. In the article dated October 28, the outer box and open body were published, and in the article dated November 5, the scenario was published. This time, I would like to write about what it felt like when I actually touched it after the main body arrived.

Introducing “Xbox Series X” From Opening To Setting Up With Photos – Using The Xbox App
Xbox Series X is the latest hardware in the company’s “Xbox” series of gaming machines. The Xbox Series X claims to be the most powerful console in Xbox history. It features 4K / 120fps gameplay and a significant improvement in game loading speed. At the same time, “Xbox Series S”, which is the smallest discless type in Xbox history and allows you to enjoy the next generation of gaming experience, was released on the same day.
As already published, the main body of Xbox Series X is box-shaped. It is more like a small desktop PC or set-top box than the image of a conventional stationary gaming machine. It supports both vertical and horizontal installation. Due to its shape, it would be an advantage to be stable even if installed vertically or without accessories. However, considering the heat treatment of the exhaust, it is better to consider where to place it.
In addition to the main body shape, there are also pads on the bottom that are supposed to be placed vertically, so it is stable even without accessories.
And about the driving sound and the sound of the fans, which are one of the points that concern us. The main body is equipped with a large fan that can be seen through the heat exhaust hole. So it tends to be the image that the fan sound will be louder, but it was surprisingly quiet. Even during gameplay, the driving sound and the fan sound did not become loud and were completely unnoticeable.
If installed vertically, the heat is exhausted from above. You can see the fans, but despite its size, it is extremely quiet.
As for the controller, a part of the trigger and the grip is processed with a so-called “rough” grip to prevent slipping. It also has a share button, which makes it easy to take screenshots and screenshots. By the way, screenshots and snapshots are only available in game and cannot be used in menu screens.
The middle of the three buttons in the center is the share button that captures the game screen, etc.
It’s a bit difficult to see in the photo, but it has grip.
The title of the game is titled “Optimized for Xbox Series X | S”, and there is also a title that is optimized for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. They claim to offer faster load times, improved visuals and more stable frame rates of up to 120 fps. Optimizations will be done sequentially and the list will also be posted on the official website.
Some optimized titles are also provided in advance, and graphics-heavy titles such as “Gears 5” and “Gears Tactics” are also played. I can’t mention that because I didn’t have a monitor that supports 120fps, but I wasn’t under the impression that the load time was long, and overall it seemed to be fast. I thought you could enjoy the game with smooth movements, stable and comfortable graphics and movements.

The new “Quick Resume” feature is also a point of concern. When you switch from one game to another, the state of that game is saved. It’s a feature that can be paused and resumed at any time, and you can switch and play various games as if you were zapping. In the range I tested and timed, the title was optimized for Xbox Series S, and it was about 8 seconds. There is no doubt that it is much faster than restarting the game from scratch.
When a quick summary is done, it will be displayed on the screen.
As for the game, it also has backward compatibility that allows original Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox One titles to be played on Xbox Series S. Of course, it is limited to those who support it, not all, but yes. you bought the digital version (download version), you can play it just by downloading it again. Disc version (package version) requires disc. A list of supported titles is also available on the official website. In addition, there is also an “Xbox Game Pass” that allows you to play over 100 games on a flat fee basis, so even if you buy the head unit, it is unlikely that there are few games you can play.
If you have a title (download version) that is compatible with the backward compatibility function, it is displayed under “All my own games” in “My collection” → “Complete library”.
You can also access “Xbox Game Pass” from the menu screen. There are many foreign titles, but there are also familiar titles in Japan such as “Tales of Vesperia REMASTER”, “Yakuza Kiwami” (Japanese title: Ryu ga Gotoku Goku) and “SOUL CALIBUR VI”.
As for the different parts of the game, it is equipped with an optical drive that supports Ultra HD Blu-ray. It is also possible to appreciate works on video. The media player application needs to be installed, and the installation is requested when the video job disc is inserted for the first time. Other applications from video distribution services such as YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and DAZN are also available.
Actually the only Xbox series gaming machine I have is the Xbox 360 from two generations ago. I didn’t have the old Xbox One and I barely touched it so I can’t compare it to it, but what I dutifully felt when I touched the Xbox Series S was startup, charging, and operating speed. Right. Since I mentioned other stationary gaming machines, I am not completely unfamiliar with high-end games these days, and just experienced that the heavier the game, the longer it takes to load and works with titles comparable to it. Because there is a merit of plus alpha as a gaming experience. It will be added that the driving sound and the fan sound are quiet.

Also, as a side note, I was happy with the backward compatibility. The title I bought on the digital version of Xbox 360 was a bit memorable and made me feel like an unexpected reunion. As mentioned above, the mailing list itself is open to the public, but it often played “Soul Caliber”, “Guardian Heroes”, “Radiant Silver Gun”, “Trials HD”, “Ikabato IKARUGA” and “Ikabato IKARUGA” , which used to play in the range that I bought. “Trigger Heart Exerica” and “Every Extend Extra Extreme” are compatible, and I was playing while nostalgic between work.
With the Xbox 360 I have I’m sorry it’s a bit dirty, but personally I think the black body is classy and dirt etc. not noticeable.
When you start the Xbox 360 title, the logo and startup sound are displayed at that time
It’s an odd position that I’m not an Xbox One owner, but there’s room for a generation, but because of that, all the titles I played are fresh and nostalgic, so I enjoyed it. Maybe it was. On the other hand, the titles I experienced were before launch, so they corresponded to optimization. And the current lineup seems to be like this. There is also a desire to wait for games developed with the performance of the Xbox Series S, but its appearance is presumed to be a bit ahead. At the same time, there are also places where I would like to see the environment like monitors and televisions that demonstrate their performance being prepared in a more affordable place, and from that point of view, I think the Xbox Series S is “as of now”. I felt like it was a game machine that let me play.
