Xbox Series X is the 2020 upgrade to the Xbox One line, occupying the ninth generation of Microsoft consoles. Fully redesigned, the console promises to deliver twice as much performance as the Xbox One X.
With a new design, the Xbox Series X now has a tower shape, allowing you to position it horizontally – but the classic console horizontally also works.
The Xbox Series X hardware is impressive: it’s 16 GB of GDDR6 RAM, 3.8 GHz octa-core processor, and 1TB custom SSD. Microsoft ensures that the console rotates at least 4K games at 60 fps, but supports up to 120 fps.
Inside, there are also several features that improve graphics. One of them is ray tracing, which makes lighting, brightness and shadows more realistic.
The controller, called the Xbox Wireless Controller, is slightly smaller (consequently more ergonomic) and has a share button to take screenshots and record gameplay. It has also improved from the inside and promises lower latency.
The good news is also for the backward compatibility of the Xbox Series X. That is, it is compatible with thousands of games, not only from Xbox One, but from the first console, even to the Xbox 360. The old accessories also work.
Some games already announced for Xbox Series X include Halo Infinite, Sea of Thieves, Gears 5, and Halo 5: Guardians.
