Xbox fans are in for a real big treat. After months of speculation, Microsoft finally unveiled on Monday (June 12, 2017) the Xbox One X at E3 2017, which is slated to launch worldwide on November 7 for the price of US$499.
But what’s exactly so special about it? Well, it’s only the most powerful console to be created of all time. Like ever.
Previously codenamed “Project Scorpio”, the Xbox One X will feature a host of major improvements over its predecessor, the Xbox One.
In terms of specs, this spiffy new console will run on an eye-opening six teraflops of graphical power, significantly higher than the PS4 Pro’s 4.2 teraflops. A custom GPU that runs at 1172 MHz is also crammed into what is now the world’s smallest Xbox.
Not impressed yet?
Then say hello to a massive 1TB of storage, the ability to play previous Xbox One and 360 titles, and a slick Ultra HD Blu-ray drive for 4K movies and entertainment – something even the PS4 Pro doesn’t support.
Design-wise, the Xbox One X isn’t the best-looking video game console of all time, with its rigid-looking boxy shape.
But who cares about that, right? Gameplay is going to be good over here. Fans can look forward to graphically-enhanced games that are able to take advantage of the Xbox One X’s powerful hardware, such as Forza Motosport 7, Assassin’s Creed: Origins, and Metro: Exodus.
