Microsoft unveils Xbox One X, starting at $499 this November

A whole year after its first teaser, Microsoft has officially unveiled its next flagship games console, the Xbox One X. Announced as a part of the company's E3 2017 press conference, the console will be available from November 7, starting at $499.

While the Xbox One X aims to provide 4K gaming at 60 frames per second (FPS), those with 1080p displays will also see visual benefits. Offering high dynamic range (HDR), Dolby Atmos and supersampling - the console's abilities extend beyond its high-resolution output.

However, unlike the generational leap between the Xbox One and Xbox 360, Microsoft's latest console will remain a part of the Xbox One family. Games and accessories will work between the original Xbox One and the Xbox One X, persisting as a part of the same ecosystem. The bottom line – the Xbox One X will supposedly bring unrivaled graphical fidelity to the Xbox platform.
