The new Xbox Series X update will help provide gamers with a faster booting time of 5 seconds less. Faster booting time will help players get to their game faster and cut their waiting time by a few seconds.
The Xbox Series X is Cutting Its Boot Time to Just 4 Seconds
A certain Xbox developer recently promised that the new Xbox Series X will soon be getting a faster boot time due to its new 4-second long start-up animation. This will be a huge step up compared to the booting time of the Xbox One.
Can confirm - worked with @harrisonhoffman and @jakerose27 to create a shorter boot up animation (~4s) from the original boot up animation (~9s), helping to reduce the overall startup time.

Xbox Series X Booting Time is Significantly Less than Xbox One
According to the story by Dual Shockers, despite the Xbox Series X being already faster than Xbox One, the development team is planning to make the boot time even faster. The team plans to do this with the help of a new start-up animation.
The new animation will only take four seconds to play compared to the initial animation, which took nine seconds to boot. As per the publication, "this clearly means" that the system will help users by booting up 5 seconds faster compared to the previous one.
New Booting Time Brings Console Faster to 'Real Lightning-Fast Boot'
The new faster booting time will take the Xbox Series X closer "to a real lightning-fast boot." As per the article, however, it is still not known when the new animation will be replacing the initial one being used with the Xbox Series X.
The new animation, however, is already available for Xbox Insider testers, and the publication notes that the animation could be launched along with an upcoming update in August. This means that the faster boot time could come along with the Discord Voice Chat included in the upcoming Xbox software update.
SSD Brings New Opportunities and Possibilities for Developers
It is also worth noting that the upcoming new boot-up animation will also be coming to the Xbox Series S. This means that gamers will also be able to enjoy the faster booting time despite using a budget console.
Making use of an SSD instead of the HDD has been able to bring new opportunities and possibilities for developers that will help them push boundaries when it came to being able to create great games visually.
External SSD Cards Bring Up to 2TB Extra Storage
The SSD on the Xbox X/S by Microsoft has been able to help players to utilize the console's new quick resume ability. This ability provides users the option to jump between games in just a matter of seconds without needing to close any of them individually.
To make things more interesting, there are expandable SSD cards by companies like Seagate that are designed specifically for the Xbox Series X/S. These external SSD cards are capable of providing up to 2TB of extra storage.
