The UI, while I’m not a huge fan of the home menu layout, definitely seems smarter in terms of serving up the bits you’d want to get to when you open it in game. And the labelling on the audio and video settings is miles ahead of PS5’s arcane AV choices. Dolby Atmos being right there is excellent, and sounds great in my Atmos setup, but unfortunately, the delay is too great to be usable for games.
I’ve only tried 4 games so far from Game Pass, but aside from Ori and the Will of the Wisps (looking absolutely astonishing at 4K/120 with HDR on my OLED), I don’t think my choices left a particularly good first impression. Subnautica is disappointingly locked at 30fps, Call of the Sea has some inexplicable frame rate issues for such a technically light looking game, and Spiritfarer’s title screen menu is literally broken (the press any button prompt never goes away, the cursor is invisible so you don’t know what option you’re selecting, and if you save and quit from in game, you can never get control of the menu back). Of course, none of these are the fault the the hardware, and not enough to deter me from playing these games further, it’s just my gooseberry fool luck
Edit: Apparently they’ve left the dev console in the subnautica release and it’s possible to turn off vsync so it pushes it to 60. Hot diggidy

I put in about 5 hours on Spiritfarer on Series X after playing around the same amount on One S and have had no issues with it (aside from Quick Resume being as knackered on that as every other game).

It turns out it’s a known issue that goes away as soon as you have a save file so if you brought over your save from your One S that’ll be why
