Microsoft’s new flagship console appears to be quite the speed demon when it comes to getting games up and running. The Verge compared nine titles today and discovered that the Xbox Series X obliterates the loading performance of its predecessor, the Xbox One X, by as much as 69 seconds.



You can check out the table below for the complete results, but we found The Outer Worlds particularly interesting. Apparently, the Xbox Series X can load Obsidian’s sci-fi RPG in as little as six seconds. The console also finishes loading Sea of Thieves, Warframe, and Destiny 2 over one minute faster than the previous flagship.

Things like this that make me want to get an NVME drive for my PC to see what is *really* up.

edit - The Outer Worlds is actually a pretty decent game. Not excellent, but very decent if you like Fallout 3 / New Vegas style. Not perfect but I am enjoying it, in the small doses I actually have time to play it (hours and hours and hours)

Honestly I don't feel a noticeable difference in loading times between an NVME drive and a regular SATA SSD. It's just an incremental upgrade. I get it, consoles are new to this SSD wizardry, but they didn't invent the wheel.
