After teasing for a year about 'Project Scorpio', Microsoft finally unveiled the new version of the diesel engine, Xbox One X, at the E3 show in Los Angeles today.
The machine has 4K capability and promises smooth rendering in Ultra HD full resolution along with HDR support. Microsoft says the powerful device will allow faster loading times and further horizons in demanding games as well as better graphics even on 1080p screens.
The Xbox One X comes with a 8 core processor combined with 6 teraflops GPU and a GDDR5 graphics memory on 12GB in a package that is 40% smaller than the original Xbox One. It also has a cool cooling to stop the noise. It has 1TB storage space, 4K Blu-ray disc drive and Dolby Atmos technology to turn on the surround sound.
When the console is released on 7 November for 499 dollars, 42 will display new game titles at the same time, including 22 that will be exclusive to One X. The roster includes:
- Forza Motorsport 7
- Crackdown 3
- State of Decay 2
- Metro: Exodus
- PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds
- Assassin's Creed: Origins
- Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War
In addition, the One X will support all Xbox One games and accessories. Some new titles that have been classified as "Xbox One X Enhanced" will be able to take advantage of the improved editing capabilities of the new console, but will also run on Xbox One or One S with a little less pizazz.
Let's wait for the announcement of Sony….
