Every new console generation has a different level of graphical improvement. The transition from the 16-bit era to 3-dimensional polygonal timbres with the release of the original PlayStation in the mid-1990s is perhaps the most enjoyable, followed immediately by the emergence of 720p HD videogames with the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
However, in recent times, graphical changes have been relatively minor, and in the case of the Xbox Series X (and, to a lesser extent, the PS5), it’s fewer about how games appear and more about the way video games play.
What you need to know about the Xbox Series X
While the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro were the first 4K-capable game consoles, the Xbox Series X offers a few important process advancements. Whereas most titles heretofore fully rolled out at 30fps, with the resolution frequently dropping below native 4K all through game mechanics, the Xbox Series X promises consistent 60fps gaming at 4K resolution, and even 120fps in some cases. Microsoft also asserts that the Series X is ready for 8K drawing, despite the fact that no titles endorse this negotiated settlement at release.
Price and competition for the Xbox Series X
How much will each of these additional powers set you back? It should come as no surprise that the Xbox Series X is not cheap. The Xbox Series X ends up costing the same price as the comprehensive PS5 in the UK, at £450 (the digital copy is £100 less). It also has the same initial price as the Xbox One X, which first appeared in TV cabinets just 3 years ago.
The biggest rival for the Series X comes from inside Microsoft, with the lower-priced Xbox Series S in addition to the Xbox One X, which was later removed from the market but you might be able to get one just for around £380 if you do some delving.
Layout and essential characteristics of the Xbox Series X
Unlike in PS5, the Xbox Series X’s design isn’t particularly eye-catching. The inner machinery is the most event or situation, and Microsoft is plainly holding out hope that the superior specs of the Series X will be enough of a promotional tool.
In a nutshell, the Xbox Series X is a massive black rectangular single entity. The term “big” is definitely an apt description in this case, as the Series X is the third Microsoft console to the deadline, trailing only the original One. The Series X is intended to sit upright (evicting warm air through the top-mounted fan) and is 301mm tall, which is significantly bigger than any space available in the Media cabinet.
Xbox Series X controller review
The standard Xbox One controller to has, received a minor update, however the adjustments aren’t as dramatic. The Series X controller retains the majority of its design, but it now includes contoured rear handles and provokes. Although it can connect via USB-C as well as Bluetooth with such a pair of AA batteries), Microsoft does not include a USB connection in the carton.
