The Xbox Series X is Microsoft's gen-9 "premium" console, and has been available to purchase since November 10, 2020. It was designed to take advantage of 4K TVs, complete with HDR support, VRR capabilities, with 60 FPS as a primary frame rate target.
At launch, Microsoft touted things like ray-traced lighting as being a major feature, but most developers haven't opted to use performance-costly technology heavily. The Xbox Series X and its PS5 counterpart have been very quickly outpaced by gaming PCs in the graphics department, although it remains an incredibly capable console with good performance-to-price ratios — despite President Trump's tariff-induced price hikes.
