Xbox Head Drops The Details On The New Xbox Series X Console

Microsoft Executive Vice-President of Gaming and Xbox Head Phil Spencer has just penned a blog spotlighting the new Xbox Series X console which is expected to come out later this year.

“We know you expect the next generation of consoles to set new standards in graphical power and processing speed, converging together in games that look incredible and feel alive,” says Spencer. “This will be defined by worlds that are visually astounding and immediately immersive, with innovative leaps in CPU, GPU and storage technology to give you frictionless access to new stories and new creators constantly.”

The Xbox Series X will feature a next-generation custom-designed processor with four times the processing power of the Xbox One and twice the graphical performance of the Xbox One X. The next-gen console will also make use of Microsoft’s patented Variable Rate Shading to enable support for higher resolutions and more stable frame rates with without overly-tasking the GPU. It will also come with SSD storage, a quick-resume feature so you can jump into any game exactly where you left off, and 120fps support.

“Compared to the previous generation, Xbox Series X represents a superior balance of power and speed in console design, advancing on all technological fronts to delivering amazing, dynamic, living worlds and minimize any aspects that can take you out of the experience,” says Spencer. “Our job at Team Xbox is to give teams the tools they need to achieve their ambitions and tap into the console’s power with efficiency, a few of which we’re detailing today. Raw power is just part of the story.”
