Microsoft is set to release their newest console, the Xbox One X on Nov.7. There have already been thousands of pre-orders from gamers all over the world since free shipping is offered for everyone who will purchase the gaming product directly from Microsoft.
Deemed as "the world's most powerful console" by Microsoft, the console comes with 6 Teraflop graphics processing unit (GPU) for 4K resolution, 8-core custom processor, 12 GB GDDR5, 326 GB/sec bandwidth, and more. The starting price for the latest of the X edition is $499, $100 more compared to the starting price of the PlayStation 4 Pro released last year in November.
With "Call of Duty: World War II" also scheduled to be released during the first week of November, gamers are excited to try the 4K resolution feature of the Xbox One X.
Other than the internal and performance improvements, people are also excited about the personally designed Xbox controllers. Microsoft decided to go simple this time with eye-catching color designs with catchy names including orange zest, the diamond, desert tact, and mineral gold. Gamers can also customize their own controllers by combining the colors.
In an interview with VG247, Microsoft Gaming Division's Corporate Vice President Mike Ybarra revealed a big decision they made to improve the user interface of Xbox One X and that is to not apply any changes. "What do we want to do? What I told the team is... we don't want to do anything," Ybarra said. "I feel great about where we've come today, but we designed the UI to be across the whole family," he added.
Ybarra also mentioned that they are considering other designs to the setup according to feedback from critics and gamers.
Another latest news is about a new update of the video game compilation "Halo: The Master Chief Collection" for Xbox One X. Several video gaming experts are certain that Microsoft still has a lot of tricks up on their sleeves and has yet to reveal the final form of the Xbox One X.
