The console is the more powerful of the two and promises to bring a true next-gen experience. Most notably, it comes with a disc drive, allowing users to use physical copies of games and play 4K Blu-Rays.
Unlike the Series S, the Series X will come packed with a 1TB SSD, allowing for fast loading times in-game. The storage also allows for Quick Resume, meaning players can instantaneously swap between multiple games at once.
For anyone with a TV capable, the console can output up to 8K resolution and is also able to run applicable games at 120 frames per seconds.
The company has also committed to delivering a full backwards compatibility experience, ensuring that Xbox One, and applicable Xbox 360 and original Xbox games, will look and play better than ever before on the new hardware. Any upcoming Xbox One games that offers Smart Delivery will also receive a free next-gen upgrade on the Series X.
The launch of both consoles coincides with many big game releases. Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Yakuza: Like A Dragon and Dirt 5 are all expected to release during that week.
Ubisoft has also announced that it will be bringing the release of Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla forward to release simultaneously with the new systems.
