Everything we know about the new Xbox: Xbox Series X is the name of the new Xbox. Initially known as Xbox Scarlett, this new console officialized by Microsoft now has a definitive design as well as official specs A lot of information is already available about this Xbox Series X, but rumors are also rife about some tactical possibilities of Microsoft about it. We take stock, with all the information about it, including its games.
Xbox Series X: the real new Xbox with a vertical design
The Xbox Series X is therefore a black console, and for the first time designed above all to be placed vertically, although it can also be placed horizontally. Indeed, Microsoft only showed the new Xbox in vertical mode, probably the most beautiful angle for this console.
This new monolithic design had a first goal for Microsoft, that of making the console disappear in the living room, and to better manage the cooling of the hot air released by the console, with a large and unique fan that expels the air towards the top, hence the ventilation grid that can be seen in the images.
What specs for the Xbox Series X? A little monster!
The official features of the Xbox Series X specs are official and demonstrate its raw power. On its facade, the new Xbox will play sobriety with a disc player and its eject button, a USB port and a sync button on the controller.
Other technical specificities
In raw power, the Xbox Series X is advertised up to 4x more powerful than an Xbox One X today. With Ray Tracing, the management of light in games that use it should be much more realistic and the console has all the latest technologies that allow games ever more fluid, and adapted to your TV or monitor: VRR ( Variable Refresh Rate ), ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) or DLI (Dynamic Latency Input). With the SSD (and not "SSD hard drive" as we can read everywhere), the loading times in games will be greatly reduced, or even disappear in some cases.
How big is the Xbox Series X?
Placed vertically, the size of the Xbox Series X seems quite large. But when you take a good look at it with the new controller placed at its side, you can see that the console is only about 3x the size of a simple controller in height, and once its width.
Exact size of Xbox Series X
The rear of the Xbox Series X has 1 HDMI 2.1 port, which is good news for taking advantage of a host of new features. With its 48 Gbps throughput, HDMI 2.1 allows up to 60 images per second in 8K definition, or 120 images per second in 4K, all in dynamic HDR, Dolby Atmos and with a VRR solution. bonus.
What are the new features on Xbox Series X?
The Xbox Series X obviously brings a tremendous amount of power that will make games more beautiful, but also allows other exciting new things.

- Smart Delivery : If you buy an Xbox One version of a game and it carries the Smart Delivery label , then you will have free access to the “optimized version of the game for the Xbox Series X. Learn more about Xbox Series X games smart delivery compatible .
- Quick Resume : New 'Quick Resume' feature lets you revert to multiple paused games almost instantly, bringing you back to where you were, in the thick of the action you were taking, without having to go through screens loading.
- SDR to HDR Conversion : With the Xbox Series X, existing Xbox games including recent titles from the ID @ Xbox program that do not already have original HDR support will benefit from next-generation processing. The Xbox Series X is able to take advantage of an innovative HDR reconstruction technique to enhance existing SDR games without any developer work and without impacting available CPU, GPU or memory resources.
- Dynamic Latency Input : Another innovation made to reduce latency on Xbox Series X is Dynamic Input Latency (DLI). With it, developers can more accurately synchronize player action with the game and its rendering cycle, further reducing latency while the game is playing.
- Auto Low Latency Mode : the ALLM automatically switches to game mode when it is detected. This allows you to take advantage of all the features and settings of the TV in this mode.
