I’m turning 50 in a couple weeks. My wife bought me an XboxS for my birthday. Haven’t even opened the box yet. This video was incredibly helpful! I haven’t played any video games on a console since my daughter got a Nintendo Wii when it first came out. Beyond that I played the original Nintendo way, way back. I do play a few racing games on my iPad. One racing game in particular I saw on TH-cam was something I liked. I asked my son in law about it & he said it was on Xbox & I left it there cause I couldn’t play it on my iPad. Unbeknownst to me my wife secretly got w him & if daughter & they found a good deal & now I guess I’m a “gamer”. lol in a very loose sense of the name. Thank you for this video! It’ll help an old fart get started.
you can be a gamer at any age 🎮 its not like the old days where most games were made for kids. Most games are for adults these days. If you are looking for more xbox centric content, I have a new channel that only covers gaming th-cam.com/channels/cYumVdvv7Z5Hy_aJVLCK7g.html Besides gameplay videos, you'll find some cool stuff like How to Connect Alexa to your Xbox, or how to replace thumbsticks on a controller etc... Since you've been out of the gaming world for awhile, if you're in to story driven games I highly recommend the Yakazu series. Those are probably my favorite games of all time. 1 thru 6 are in Japanese with English subtitles, but 7 (Like a Dragon) has English voice tracks, and so do the Judgment series (which are the same type of game). If you are not use to it, the Japanese voice tracks and English sub titles can be a bit much for a new gamer, but once you get into it....they are the most rewarding games to play with the best storylines. And if you get Game Pass, you will have access to all the Yakuza games. As far as racing games, there are a ton. Of course the big one is Forza Horizon 5, which you can play for free if you have Game Pass. Another game I highly recommend, especially for folks who have been out of the gaming world for awhile is CONTROL. It's an amazing game, full of action, and a very well done story. And of course there is all of the Halo's, which are also on Game Pass. Another game to look out for is called STARFIELD. It will be released on Sept. 5, and promises to be one of the most EPIC games of all time. And again, if you have Game Pass, you'll have access to it on day one! Here's the trailer for it if you havent seen it th-cam.com/video/kfYEiTdsyas/w-d-xo.html There are also free games like Fortnite on Xbox. So whatever you are into, there will be plenty of games to relax and unwind with on Xbox. Lastly, if you start accruing a library of games you want to keep installed on your console, but you find yourself running out of space, you can always get the Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox. We have a video about that here th-cam.com/video/dBfQ2e_SeIk/w-d-xo.html Enjoy 🎮
My parents showed me that I got an Xbox a day before my birthday, and it was right before a mini roadtrip so I had to wait 2 days to open mine. Probably was my only thought in mind.
I bought the Xbox series s 6 months ago i love it i love Xbox because of Microsoft rewards i can grind for Xbox gift cards for free i already bought 3 games from it 👌
@@pcj60 Yes. No other difference. If you already have a Series S (white) or buy a Series S (white) for cheap, and you want more storage - just get the 1TB Storage Expansion Card and you will have 1.5TB storage vs 1TB for the black. Heres a video about the Xbox Storage Expansion Card th-cam.com/video/dBfQ2e_SeIk/w-d-xo.html
Im thinking of the The 512gb ssd whats the use of this when its all digital been watching reviews for this console bcoz im planning to buy for my bday😊
Well then, you are in for a treat my friend! Xbox has changed soooo much from gen 2. And it's way better. If you're looking for more Xbox/gaming content - I have a new channel dedicated to gaming and Xbox th-cam.com/channels/cYumVdvv7Z5Hy_aJVLCK7g.html you'll find lots of "how to do THIS on Xbox" videos, and reviews of Xbox accessories like controllers, rechargable batteries, and of course gaming videos as well. Good luck, and congrats on the new Xbox 🎮
Bought one offa ebay, console only. Had NO idea how to even turn it on, this video was what I needed. Does the fan run continuosly or randomly? Not sure if mine works.
it depends on the game. if it's something like Fortnite (which is free) you'll need to be Always Online. But there are plenty of games that you can play without an internet connection once you download. You will need to connect to the internet to update them though. Basically anything that is network/online multiplayer or co-op needs to be online, but you can play single player/campaign without internet.
Hey bro! Just got mine. And i feel like 512 gigs is not much. Any recommendations for another storage thingy? The thing u plug in to get more storage. If you know what i mean.
Hi can anyone help me im planning to buy one xbox series s and im confused that if you purchase game once for example warzone can you play it without even gamepass or do you need gamepass everytime to play games ?
Good console prices Bad exclusives but still the best option for new gamers If you are a new gamer and want the lowest price for the best options then Xbox series s + game pass is the best option (if you are really not a fan of a game and want just to have fun) And it plays the new gen games Like why gonna buy ps5 for just one or three games
I’m getting one of these again soon, I have a question can I use a external hard drive and play Xbox one, 360, etc games on it? I know series X/S games don’t play on external hard drives but do the ones I mentioned play off the hard drive? And can it just be any regular external hard drive or does it have to be a special Xbox compatible one
You CAN use an external SSD to play older games. You CANT play X|S games directly from an external SSD, though you CAN store the games so you dont have to re-download them. OR you can get the Seagate Storage Expansion Card which PLAYS X|S games and older games. See that video here th-cam.com/video/dBfQ2e_SeIk/w-d-xo.html If you want to go the external SSD route it MUST be a USB3.1 drive or higher. The ones I like are the Samsung T7 Shield drives amzn.to/3PGeQMo (amazon affiliate link) I have tested those and they do work. But they make other HDDs and SSDs that will work too like this amzn.to/3r4YJ1n but that one is a HDD so it may be slightly slower than an SSD. When you connect the SSD or HDD to the Xbox, you will be guided through your options. Its pretty easy. I'll have a full video on it over at @SQ3X in the next week or so.
@@BenoniTech thanks appreciate all the help, can’t wait until my series s comes the seagate expansions are too expensive for me so I’m gonna just get either a external hard drive or ssd instead. Will definitely check out that new video when it’s up
If you want to play directly on your laptop you can connect an Xbox controller via Bluetooth or adapter or USB and use the Xbox app. If you have Game Pass PC or Ultimate you can download games or play with cloud just like on Xbox.
I was wondering any way is fine with power cord which connects to xbox.. some electronic products have specific Design that u can't plug it wrong way .. as it will not go it
im gonna buy the xbox series s probably only for 1 game called gta vi because it will come out for xbox or playstation in 2025 and on pc probably around 2027 so yeah spending like 300 bucks only for another game which is 60-100$ fun
The black 1TB version won't be out until September, and it's going to be about $100 more than the white version. A casual gamer will be fine with 512GB. You can always add the Expansion Card if you really need it, or just add a normal SSD for non-XS optimized games. Either way, the setup will be exactly the same for the both Series S versions and the Series X. We setup the Xbox Series X here th-cam.com/video/nDeYSd0nbWs/w-d-xo.html
Some games are free to play, like Fortnite, COD Warzone, Roblox, and many others. If you subscribe to GamePass Ultimate then you will have access to about 400 games. List of free to play games on Xbox www.xbox.com/en-US/games/free-to-play

How is Xbox game pass better than ps5, ps5 you get better hit games like the last of us, god of war and spider man. Xbox really only has forza horizon and halo
8 years ago my elder brother bought me my first console, today I bought Xbox Series S for his Son 😊
You finally paid him back 😊
