Microsoft announces by surprise its next console at The Game Awards
Amazing announcement that has left us tonight the gala of The Game Awards. Phil Spencer has taken the stage presenting what will be the next Microsoft console. I already know the official name of the Microsoft console. We say goodbye to Xbox Scarlett and welcome Xbox Series X, the next generation of Microsoft consoles.
Without giving detailed information about the specifications of this new console, I could see a first teaser of what the Microsoft machine looks like. With an approach similar to that of a PC, Xbox Series X is presented with an ultra-minimal and elongated design, emphasizing simplicity. Under these lines we leave you with the Xbox Series X teaser.
Key features of Xbox Series X
- Four times more powerful than Xbox One X.
- 4K, 60 FPS and possibility of 120FPS.
- New design of the remote.
- AMD Ryzen: Zen 2, Raytracing, SSD.
- Technologies to minimize latency with its low latency (ALLM) and Dynamic Latency Input (DLI) modes.
- Ready to harness the power of the cloud.
- Launching at Christmas 2020.
Its elongated design may make me think that it can only be placed vertically. However, according to the company, this console can also be placed horizontally. In addition, ventilation will be important, and in the little I have seen in the teaser, it has been briefly verified that the console will have different cooling points.
Xbox Series X breaks down barriers again, exceeding the limits of hardware technology in a console. This also means a greater margin for developers to put all their passion in creating video games. And it is that Xbox Series X aims to reach 4K and 60FPS in their titles, giving the possibility of the jump to 120FPS, support for frequencies of variable update on screen and 8K resolution. In addition, Xbox Series X will arrive with a custom design of the third generation of AMD Ryzen processors: Zen 2. Nor could the lack of the addition of ray-tracing, technology that NVIDIA popularized with great advances in the behavior of lighting and reflections in a videogame. As for storage, SSDs will take great importance in Xbox Series X and ultimately in the next generation of consoles. From Microsoft they assure that the addition of these discs will help to eliminate the times of load in the games.
Xbox Series X will hit stores during Christmas next year. At the moment, everything known from the console is quite promising. We will have to wait to learn more information about it.
Awesome.
