Video says "hands on", but then it barely shows any gameplay of anything. "Hands on" should mean "hands on a controller". Weak.

They showed jumping between games in seconds and continuing their progress as if they continue from a quick save. That's a huge feature that makes playing multiple less of a burden.

State of Decay 2 loaded in seconds even with no patches. This would suggest all content could load faster. I would credit the storage and CPU for that.

We saw Gears Ultimate went from 1080p to 4K. Which could suggest X1 content is going to get a 4x pixel count boost. This means 720p content becomes 1440p, 900p become 1800p and 1080p content becomes 4K. This is big news for people who people who care about BC content, which is many.

They showed some tech videos of Gears 5 running 4K and ultra settings, a massive boost over last gen consoles. We saw Minecraft using ray tracing on Series X, which is the first we've actually seen ray tracing on a console.

9th gen content isn't really being shown yet, but there was still a lot to glean from these two videos simply showing how it can improve old content. Also, spoiler alert. For the next couple years most content is going to be cross gen. So at the very least we see how Series X content is gonna be a massive improvement in visual fidelity, ray tracing can be enabled, performance is going to be much better, load times will be significantly faster, etc.

We essentially saw much of what we hoped being demonstrated.
