Microsoft launches new games for Xbox One X

The news about the Original Xbox Backwards Compatibility was revealed by Xbox boss Phil Spencer during a recent interview.

Also, not all new games coming out this year for the Xbox will be "One X Enhanced".

PS: You just said these games could run on a Commodore 64, they would not run at 60 frames per second on a Commodore 64. "When I think about techniques to somehow manufacture a 4K screen like what some other consoles try to do, this is different than that".

The Xbox One X is cheaper than a high-end gaming rig, but a PC can do more than just play games (try to write a term paper on your Xbox One and see how well that goes). But with a new GPU that allows for 6 teraflops of graphics output (along with 12GB RAM), it's a dramatic improvement over the 1.3 teraflops from the original Xbox One. They'll all qualify as "Xbox One X Enhanced" titles.

In an ideal world, every major Christmas console release should be Xbox One X enhanced. Even if you don't have an Xbox One, what do you gain from spending an extra £200+ and not buying the 4k-upscaling Xbox One S? It seems clear that Microsoft isn't anxious about that price gap between the two consoles since the company doesn't see them as direct competitors. Without going into the boring details, suffice to say that the graphical power should be a bit better than the new Radeon RX 580, which costs between £250 and £300.

This year has seen 2 major announcements by Microsoft on its gaming front - first came Xbox Game Pass, a Netflix-style game subscription service. Forza Motorsport 7 looks stunning on Xbox One X and we'll certainly play Crackdown 3, Sea of Thieves, and the Ori sequel, but it's a fairly thin slate of exciting exclusives. It now appears if you pre-order Xbox One X you will also be getting a one month Xbox Game Pass trial.

Xbox One X Price Too Steep? It remains to be seen just how many they are able to bring to the program, but it isn't going to be anywhere close to the almost 400 Xbox 360 games that are now available. After all, if the PS4 Pro can handle VR, then surely the more powerful Xbox One X can do the same.

"I would expect that by now Microsoft would be pushing more for online gaming and streaming, and they're not", said McGregor, who is also an Xbox owner. They might not identify the problem, but they know something's wrong.
