The next-gen consoles promise an enhanced gaming experience for players across multiple titles.
This not only includes an improvement in the console's graphical capabilities.
It also means an enhancement in performance and load times.
Fast load times are a significant factor for players looking to buy a next-gen console.
Microsft was clearly aware of this with their addition of the new SSD technology into the Xbox Series X.
Multiple recent hands-on previews have showcased the impressive speed and performance of the console.
