Xbox One X

Over the years, there has been an increasing trend of gamers choosing digital copies over physical game discs.

Analysts speculate the reason behind it would likely be to work on the system in order to support the latest Xbox controller.

Microsoft officially opened preorder slots for the Xbox Series X, but it seems some eager consumers got confused and ordered the Xbox One X instead.

The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are slated to hit retailers on Nov. 10, while Sony might reveal more information about the PS5 later this week.

From a design perspective, the Xbox Series S is remarkably different from the flagship Xbox Series X.

Unlike Sony's PlayStation Now, Xbox Games Pass lets users download the games directly on their console's internal storage.

Those who have signed up as Xbox Insiders can enjoy an early access preview of the new UX on their Xbox One, Xbox One X, and Xbox One S.

The information apparently comes from a Resetera user called "Sponger" who has a track record for reliable information.

Shortly after its surprise PS5 reveal in June, there has been a buzz over any tidbit related to the game system.

There have been hints of a second gaming machine in development, which was supported by official documents leaked in June.

Microsoft's latest update about Project xCloud reveals several third-party accessories that have been awarded the Designed for Xbox rating.

This was hinted at by a recently published PS5 patent from the Japanese gaming firm wherein it details an unannounced feature.

To recall, shortly after the debut of the Xbox Series X, Microsoft assured gamers that they will not be left behind when it comes to software.

Even though the Xbox One X was practically the more powerful console based on technical specifications, it failed to meet sales targets.

What likely hinted the development of more than one game system was the leaked benchmark results from AMD in 2019.

With beefier processors alongside more powerful computing capabilities, next-generation systems are expected to run hotter than before.

With only one installment from the genre-defining franchise released for the current-generation systems, gamers evidently demanded more.

In addition to the accidental listing from various retailers, the Cyberpunk 2077 Xbox One X is reportedly scheduled to release in June.

For every 1,000 points that are donated by Xbox One players, Microsoft will reportedly match it with a dollar of its own for the CDC Foundation for COVID-19.

According to AMD, the hacker was able to collect test files for a collection of current and upcoming hardware for graphics.

Analysts cited that the PS5 will rely on its huge library of platform exclusives to outpace the competition.

While the public was expecting a more traditional PS5 reveal presentation, Sony once again opted for an odd approach not many appreciated.

Along with the full reveal, Microsoft showcased a one TB SSD expansion card that connects to the expansion port at the back.

The Xbox Series X packs a custom octa-core AMD Zen 2 CPU and an AMD RDNA 2 GPU capable of 12 teraflops and 52 compute units – each clocking in at 1.825 GHz.

According to the GameStop pre-registration page, the PS5 should be on par with the Xbox Series X when it comes to performance, but with a small caveat.

The Xbox Series X can suspend up to five games and hold on to those save states even after a system reboot.

The news comes directly from the manufacturer, published on Xbox Wire, it discusses some interesting tidbits about the Xbox Series X.
