Microsoft’s new Xbox model is named Xbox One X and will ship on 7 November with a $499/£449 price tag, the company has revealed.

Featuring a six teraflop graphics processor running at 1172 Mhz, 12GB of GDDR5 memory and a 2.3 Ghz custom central processing unit, it is significantly more powerful than the Xbox One S and crucially, the PlayStation 4 Pro, with its 4.2 teraflop graphics processing unit and 911 Mhz CPU.


Xbox One X also features a UHD Blu-ray player, a component missing from the PlayStation 4 Pro, and will play games in native 4K resolution, while supporting HDR lighting effects and Dolby Atmos surround sound. According to Xbox director of software engineering Kareem Choudhry, all Xbox games will enjoy enhanced visual fidelity and faster load times on the console.


Several major titles, including Gears of War 4, Resident Evil 7 and Rocket Leagueare all receiving free, specially enhanced upgrades to take fuller advantage of the extra power of the machine. Choudhry also claimed that Xbox One X owners who don’t have a 4K television screen will still get an enhanced visual experience, via a technique known as supersampling, which reduces native 4K assets for HD TV displays.
