"The Xbox One X performs exactly as advertised: Games look great across the board. Whether you’re using a 1080p TV with the Xbox One X or playing in 4K HDR, games look fantastic on the next-gen console... Games you might have played a year ago now look absolutely stunning on Xbox One X. Free updates for Rise of the Tomb Raider, Star Wars Battlefront II and Forza Motorsport 7 will help them look their absolute best when they arrive in the coming weeks and months, while Gears of War 4, Quantum Break and Super Lucky’s Tale have already been treated to the visual upgrade." - Techradar
"One of the biggest improvements I noticed when an Enhanced for Xbox One X update arrived was Assassin's Creed Origins. It looks stunning on the Xbox One X, with a 4K resolution and HDR support. It’s way less blurry than on my Xbox One S, and I’d say it’s closer to looking like it does on my PC thanks to the obvious improvements in textures...I hope this is a shining example of what’s to come from developers on newer games." - The Verge
"Gears 4 is one of Microsoft’s flagship games, and it’s a showpiece for the capabilities of the Xbox One X. The 2016 shooter is stunning in Visuals mode, which runs at native 4K with graphical bells and whistles like a higher draw distance, better 'god rays' and HDR...But I prefer Performance mode, which leaves the resolution at 1080p while targeting a frame rate of 60 frames per second." - Polygon

It seems that, for the most part, the Xbox One X absolutely lives up to Microsoft's claim that it's the most powerful video game console on the market, delivering an unrivaled 4K experience.

Praise has been leveled at the console's ability to enhance games both old and brand new, and simply, if you've recently bought a 4K TV, this is one hell of a device to show it off.

If you're serious about getting the most out of your games and don't want the hassle involved with a gaming PC, this is a damn fine system.
