Xbox Series X release date, price, specs and controller

Rumors we’ve heard in the past have suggested that Microsoft’s next system, the Xbox Series X, will be a monster. Based on the specs Microsoft is touting about the machine, those rumors might not be off base.

While we don’t have details on the actual hardware inside the Series X, Microsoft isn’t being shy about calling its shot, Babe Ruth-style. The company claims the Series X will do 4K visuals at 60 frames-per-second, and could play some titles at 120 frames-per-second. Not only that, Microsoft states the new console could potentially support 8K graphics. We imagine the Series X won’t do both 8K and 120 frames-per-second, but clearly Microsoft wants gamers to know this hardware will last them a very long time.

Along with those specs, Microsoft reaffirmed that the Series X will come packing a solid state drive for faster load times, and will support Variable Refresh Rate. But what does all that matter if we can’t see how a game looks? Fortunately, we got a taste of that, too. Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 was shown running in-engine, and if these are the types of visuals we can expect on the Xbox Series X, we can safely say this thing is going to be a beast.
