‘Xbox Series S keeps 362GB of free storage space for game installation’ – Gaming – News

A Canadian user on Reddit who claims to have received the Xbox Series S console prematurely says there is 364GB of storage available for users to install games. The remainder of the 512GB SSD in the Series S is reserved for the system.

The user from Montreal posted multiple photo’s as proof that the console has arrived at his place. He says that there is 364GB free on the console, of which 362.1GB is available for apps and games. Further reports he said that the loading times in The Witcher 3 and Halo 5 are ‘very fast’ and that the games run very smoothly, without giving further details. The user also says the console is very quiet and switching from one game to another takes five seconds, courtesy of the Quick Resume feature.

This Canadian isn’t the only one to prematurely receive one of Microsoft’s next-gen consoles. An English user resident in Portugal shows on Reddit that he has already received the Xbox Series X. He still gives relatively little further details, but reports that the console indicates that 800GB is available on 802GB of free disk space. The Xbox Series X has a 1TB SSD. It was already known that about twenty percent is occupied by the operating system. He also indicates that Dolby Vision works without problems, but that he has no uhd blu-rays, so he cannot test whether this hdr standard is also supported in combination with the 4k discs.

Incidentally, this user had ordered his Series X console from Microsoft’s Portuguese division on the day pre-orders went live, and the Canadian had his Series S from the Canadian consumer electronics store. The Source ordered. Some other users report that they have not yet received their console, but have already received information about an upcoming delivery. There was one before message that Media Markt in Germany would start shipping the PlayStation 5 earlier. Sony’s console would be shipped from the store from November 12, while the official release date for the PS5 is on November 19. That is also the official release date in the Netherlands. The Xbox Series X and S will be released in the Netherlands on November 10.
