Conveniently set for a Winter 2020 release alongside the new PlayStation 5, the device will revolutionize console gaming and take players on immersive, awe-inspiring journeys through time and space.
INTRODUCING THE XBOX SERIES X
Previously codenamed Xbox Project Scarlett, the Xbox Series X was announced during the Game Awards in 2019, and according to Microsoft, was designed to transport players into the “future of gaming”. Built around impressive new hardware from AMD, including Navi graphics architecture and a Zen 2 CPU, the Series X console will minimize or even eliminate load times on blockbuster gaming titles, helping you get into the action as soon as possible.
Data suggests that the Series X is four times more powerful than the current Xbox One X, offers four times better performance than the current generation, representing “the biggest generational leap” in the history of the Xbox. Much has been said of the Xbox and its rival the PlayStation 5, and although both offer eyewatering specs, we won’t know for sure which will come out on top as the ultimate console until we get our hands on both in November.
