Phil Spencer, Head of Xbox, officially unveils next-generation console features and key features Xbox Series X, Sony’s main rival PS5.
An official Xbox blog posted an article by Phil Spencer in which he told the gamer what to expect from the next generation of consoles. According to Gamebomb.ru, some features of the Xbox Series X are officially disclosed in this article. The console is based on specially designed processors with AMD Zen 2 architecture and RDNA 2 graphics architecture. Game developers can use the 12 Teraflops (TFLOPS) graphics processor (GPU). ) The overall performance of the Xbox Series X console is 2 times that of the Xbox One X, and more than 8 times that of the Xbox One. The console supports real-time ray tracing using the DirectX 12 library at the hardware level.
Phil Spencer also said that games for the Xbox Series X will receive a more stable frame rate at a higher resolution due to the patented Variable Rate Shading (VRS) technology, Gamebomb.ru reports. It allows developers to allocate the power of the GPU to process the details and effects of certain objects or specific characters instead of evenly distributing performance across each pixel.
The Xbox Series X also has the next generation SSD. According to Phil Spencer, this will allow developers to create worlds even larger, more lively and dynamic, and downloading a game or location after a quick move will be instant. Due to the SSD, the new console received the function of a quick return to the game. A similar one is already in the current generation, but now players can instantly switch between several games at once without the need to reload the level. The Xbox Series X console has received Dynamic Latency Input (DLI) support. The technology will reduce the delay between pressing a button on the controller and displaying the action on the screen. The platform is equipped with an HDMI 2.1 port and supports up to 120 frames per second.
Phil Spencer in his article confirmed the information that on the Xbox Series X it will be possible to launch not only new products, but also all games with Xbox One, as well as projects for backward compatibility with Xbox 360 and Xbox. At the same time, without the intervention of developers, they will receive support for a higher frame rate and resolution. If the new game will be released immediately on two generations of consoles, then users will not need to buy them twice. When upgrading to the more powerful Xbox Series X, they will immediately receive the highest quality version of the game.
Phil Spencer has not yet announced the release date of the Xbox Series X.
