All the Latest Features Announced for Xbox Series X

The Xbox Series X is set to be the most powerful and sophisticated machine that Xbox has ever created. Although it is not scheduled to release until the end of the year, fresh information continues to be released. With Microsoft wanting to create as much excitement as possible, they have already revealed plenty of features and specifications. Here are all the latest features announced for Xbox Series X.

A Dedicated Sound Chip

According to developers who are working on games for the Xbox Series X, the console has its own sound chip. Most home consoles don’t include dedicated audio chips. This means that developers have to share resources with other elements, reducing the quality and quantity of sounds.

By including such a chip, Microsoft will also allow hardware acceleration for sound. The end result should mean that games include more sound effects and can utilize things like 3D audio. This is a significant step forward in terms of audio in gaming.

Backward Compatibility for All Xbox Games

The Xbox Series X will have one of the largest libraries of games when it launches. That is because Microsoft plans to support all of the games that are currently available to play on the Xbox One. This includes all of the titles that have released exclusively for the console in addition to backward compatible titles. The Xbox One already supports a large number of Xbox 360 and original Xbox games. These will all be playable on the Xbox Series X, with more added in the future.
