HHW Gaming Review: Microsoft Is Closing The Gap Between PC & Console Gaming With The Xbox Series X
Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz It’s almost time to level-up (pun intended) to the next level of gaming, and Microsoft will be the first company to release its next-gen consoles, the Xbox Series S|X. I got the opportunity to play with the Series X ahead of its launch, and now it’s time to share my experience with the console. I must admit, I do a lot of my gaming on PS4, and I rarely gave my Xbox One S any attention, so it was like being in a foreign land for me once I powered up the Xbox Series X.BUT, once I pressed the power button, it didn’t take long for me to realize what kind of gaming experience that Micorosft is offering gamers who choose to game on consoles. The company is a mission bridging the gap between PC and console gaming. [embedded content] Design and Hardware Sour...
