Gave this a whirl on the Series X last night and well... it can pretty much play everything (at least everything I've tried so far)

Was going to post this in the PS5 thread but figured here is more suited... really just loving the Series X right now. The store issues and slow downloads seem to have subsided and really its all bedded in nicely.
It does feel like an old friend in some regards, mainly due to the UI matching the previous consoles, but the sheer speed of things and the silent running you quickly grin when you boot it up. I don't think I could ever go back to loading times on the One.
I'm getting stuck into AC Valhalla but also really enjoying Gears Tactics, which I am playing on my PC remotely from the Series X using that developer game streaming app. Even doing that the latency feels massively improved over the old companion app and you're still getting those SSD load time benefits. It all just feels so fluid now.
With that developer app the game streaming tops out at 1080p60 @ 12-15Mbps and I know on the old companion app you could dig around in the config and tweak that to improve the stream quality (had mine set to 25Mbps) but I cannot see how to do that here but then its all a bit non-official so will wait for the public version.
Really cannot fault the hardware on the Series X, now I am just counting the days to Cyberpunk coming out.

I went with the Shock Blue Series controller for my PC, mainly because of familiarity.
There are some custom drivers out there that can bring the latency all the way down to 0-1-2ms or so.

Didn't know there were custom drivers, the latency on all xbox controller is improved with the new firmware they rolled out recently as they re-wrote the whole protocol stack to shave off some milliseconds.
Not sure if that applies to just the custom MS wifi connection or bluetooth as well but for my PC I have the Xbox USB dongle anyway.
