We are technology enthusiasts. And so, in addition to mobile phones, accessories and smart homes, we are also interested in game consoles and computers. Therefore, when the release date of the Playstation 5 was announced, we did not hesitate and ordered it immediately. However, we made a fundamental mistake and ordered the console from the largest e-shops – Alza and CZC. Unfortunately, despite a relatively timely order, the console has not arrived to this day. However, we do not blame the sellers. Supply simply exceeded demand. So we decided to try the competition, and just buy the Playstation 5 over time. So what are our first impressions of the Xbox Series X?
Xbox Series X as an alternate
Before we start, we have to say that we had the last Xbox 360. Since then, we have been keen PSkářs, so we were very curious about the new console from Microsoft. At the beginning we were quite skeptical. No exclusive titles? No advanced driver response as in DualSense? This is going to be a mess. Or not?
We will not discuss the design unnecessarily here, we will just note that we like the new Xbox. Maybe a little more than the futuristic Playstation 5, which is also huge compared to the Xbox and many people could have a problem with its location. The system itself is said to be the same as in the case of the Xbox One (we can’t judge), which doesn’t bother us at all. The user interface is clear, completely in Czech and we have no problem with it. We will also find such fuller and more complex than in the case Playstation. But the real thing comes when you discover the Xbox Game Pass service, which is an absolute game changer for us.
Xbox Game Pass is a huge library of games
Microsoft chose a different tactic instead of introducing exclusive titles. It’s called the Xbox Game Pass and we guarantee you will love this service. You can basically choose from two variants. The standard version costs CZK 259 per month, then there is the Ultimate version, which costs CZK 339 per month. The main difference is that with the highest subscription, you can also use Xbox Project xCloud, which is streaming gaming on Android. The Xbox Game Pass Ultimate also includes an Xbox Live Gold subscription, which allows you to play online and get exclusive discounts at the Microsoft Store.
