Xbox Series X

27 Feb 2020

Xbox Series X is Microsoft’s flagship next-generation console, targeting a 4K baseline, with support for up to 8K resolutions, and 120Hz refresh rates across supported titles. Cutting-edge hardware includes an AMD Zen 2-based CPU four times more powerful than Xbox One X, flanked by an AMD Navi-based GPU with double the graphical prowess. Framed as the most powerful Xbox console to date, it pushes the Xbox family head to head with the upcoming PlayStation 5.

While the Xbox Series is scheduled to release during holiday 2020, Microsoft is yet to detail a formal release date, pricing, or preorders.
