Microsoft unveils its new 1TB Xbox One with new matt finish and new wireless controllers with 3.5mm stereo jack
After watching the E3 briefing last week I have to admit that I was only after two things, one a release date and two the price tag...
Read our review of the Xbox One X to find out if it should be your next console purchase.
The Xbox One X is undoubtedly a powerful console, and it manages to make its 8 million HDR pixels dance beautifully. Throw in Dolby Atmos support, and – with the right setup – you have a console that'll make eyes and ears snap, crackle and pop with pleasure.
Since the days of the NES, most every successful gaming console has basically been released twice. You'd get a big, loud, and expensive box at launch, then a few years later, a smaller, quieter, lower-cost version would show up.
Quieter than the OG Xbone, even at full tilt; System optimizations make current games look their best and shorten load times too; The new Xbox's 4K HDR abilities are promising with more impressive games in the future; 4K/UHD Blu-ray drive is a boon to connoisseurs of physical media.
Expensive compared to the Xbox One S and PS4 Pro; Rectangular, matte design is functional, but not beautiful; Lack of VR to tap into this powerful hardware is disappointing; Games will take some time to fully exploit the X's 4K graphics via updates; No true remote game streaming, still.
Microsoft is winning the media war with Sony here in late 2017. Just as the holiday season rolls up here in 2017, it almost feels as though Microsoft's Xbox is the only competitor in their class.
High quality console performance; Form factor smaller and more slick than predecessors; Backwards compatible with a wide variety of games; Compatible with previous Xbox One controllers; accessories; etc; 4K UHD and HDR10 in full effect
Only comes in black (at launch; Power button remains unrepentantly attractive to toddler fingers; Controller should come with rechargeable batteries; Self-repair voids any/all hardware warranty
"The most powerful console in the world." That's the lofty claim Microsoft is making about the $499 Xbox One X, the company's resounding answer to the $399 Sony PlayStation 4 Pro .
Supports native 4K gaming; Supports HDR for games and video; Plays UHD Blu-ray discs; Captures videos and stills in 4K resolution
Limited exclusive game library; A bit expensive
Microsoft's new Xbox One X - just like its main competition Sony's PlayStation 4 Pro - sits in an interesting position in the console video game industry. It's not quite a complete generational leap, though the system is substantially more powerful than the Xbox One, Xbox One S and arguably even...
Offers true 4K gaming; Long-term 'enhanced feature' plan is impressive; Most powerful video game console ever released
4K compatible launch selection could be lacklustre; Might be too pricey for some; No Dolby Vision HDR compatibility
With Xbox One X, Microsoft hopes you'll be willing to dive into the 4K revolution with its super-powered 6TF console. But how good is it really? And is it worth the hefty cost of admission? We have all the answers.
Incredible 4K potential; Future-proofed for VR and FreeSync VRR; Amazing power in a tidy package; Xbox One X Enhanced games are relentlessly immersive
Little 4K media in the Xbox Store; and what is there is expensive; Price of entry is high when combined with a 4K TV; The timing of future 4K game patches is unclear
The Xbox One X is the third generation of the Xbox One, with the Xbox One S launching just over a year ago, but this is not just a smaller device. The X is a huge jump in performance over the original console, and if anyone doubted Microsoft's commitment to the gaming console, this seems to answer...
