Everything we know about the Xbox One X, the new game console Microsoft says is the 'most powerful' ever

Microsoft has a brand new game console called the Xbox One X. All that "Project Scorpio" talk you might have heard the last few months? This is that, without the codewords.

In any case, Microsoft is touting the new device as "the world's most powerful console." Based on its internal specs, Microsoft probably isn't wrong!

But since this kind of iterative release is a bit untraditional for game consoles, you might have questions about what exactly this new Xbox is, and where it fits into the larger gaming market.

We're here to help. Here's everything we know about the Xbox One X, now that it's officially been unveiled:

The Xbox One X is, fundamentally, another Xbox One.

This is not a “next-generation” device like the leap from the Xbox 360 to the Xbox One.

Instead, it’s more like Microsoft’s version of the PlayStation 4 Pro — it takes the existing Xbox One and makes it stronger.



That means it plays all the same games you can play on the original Xbox One or Xbox One S. There is no deviation in any of the three devices' game libraries.

In other words, there are no games that are exclusive to the Xbox One X. If you’d prefer the cheaper Xbox One S, you won’t miss out on that next “Halo," “Crackdown,” or what have you.



That said, Microsoft is promising that games on the Xbox One X will look and run better than they will on other Xbox One devices, provided that those games are built with the Xbox One X's extra horsepower in mind.
