The Main Xbox One X Features

• UHD 4K Gaming Experience

  The Xbox One X has been built to deliver UHD visuals at lightning speed. The Xbox 1 X goes much further than the Xbox One S, using a massive 40 compute units to generate a speed of 1172MHz at higher resolutions. That translates in real terms into performance that is 4.6 times as fast as the previous model. This UHD 4K gaming experience will be unlike anything yet seen in the home. But some people might object that it's only for those with 4K TVs. But Microsoft have thought about that, too. The Xbox One X can downscale its UHD graphics for 1080p TVs in a way that makes their own graphics look sharper and increases the frame rate, a neat bit of hardware design.

• Serious Specs

  Along with the graphics, the Xbox X also has a huge amount of RAM (12GB GDDR5), comes with a spacious 1TB hard disk, and features a 4K Blu-Ray player, so it's also a pretty advanced movie playing centre as well. On top of that, it has been designed to be fully backwards compatible with all Xbox One and certain Xbox 360 games, even adding some performance improvements along the way. As for the actual CPU, Microsoft claim that it makes the Xbox One X the “world's most powerful gaming console”, beating the PS4 Pro at a canter. With an 8-core custom AMD processing unit that clocks at 2.3GHz, the console has plenty of wriggle room to offer spectacular gaming experiences in the future.

• Sleek and Minimal Design

  Then there's the exterior design. This hasn't been tweaked to the same extent as the graphics (which have been Microsoft's main concern), but they are still different, with a sleek, minimalist black case which harmonises with the various peripherals on offer to set up gaming rigs. It's a system that looks the part and plays the part. In terms of connections, there are 2 HDMI 2.0 outputs (one is also HDMI 1.4 input), 3 USB 3.0 ports, Ethernet, and dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4/5Ghz 802.11ac). This enables the Xbox One X to be the central hub of your home entertainment!

• Xbox One X Games

  There is an ever expanding range of games available on the Xbox One X, with genres ranging from Sports games to Sci-Fi and RPGs. Enhanced Xbox One X games can play games up to 4K resolution at 60Hz, making games look amazing in 4K HDR graphics. Microsoft have also made some Xbox 360 and Xbox Original games compatible with the Xbox One X, meaning you can play Xbox classics on a modern console. Then there are Xbox One X exclusive game, with game series such as Forza, Gears of War, and Halo, only available only on the Xbox One X.
