Xbox Series X: Microsoft shows gameplay from "Assassin's Creed Valhalla" and other titles

While Sony continues to keep the appearance of the Playstation 5 secret, competitor Microsoft is still on the offensive and is now presenting the first gameplay material from the Xbox Series X *.

As part of the Inside Xbox livestream, Microsoft presented gameplay to numerous games from the partner studios. Some titles were already known, but new ones were also introduced. Many viewers were especially excited  to see the first gameplay scenes from "Assassin's Creed Valhalla":

It was stressed again and again that the games could be transferred from Xbox One to Xbox Series X thanks to the so-called " Smart Delivery " feature . If you buy a title for Xbox One, you can get it for free for Xbox Series X. " Assassin's Creed Valhalla " also has "Smart Delivery". The games shown have all been optimized for Xbox Series X.

These were all the games featured on Inside Xbox  :

  • "Assassin's Creed Valhalla"
  • "Bright Memory Infinite"
  • "Dirt 5"
  • "Scorn"
  • "Chorus"
  • "Madden NFL 21"

  • "Call of the Sea"
  • "The Ascent"
  • "The Medium"
  • "Scarlet Nexus"
  • "Second Extinction: Reclaim Earth"
  • "Yakuza: Like A Dragon"

Xbox Series X: Buy games once and play anywhere

With Smart Delivery, Xbox players only have to buy exclusive console titles once and can play them on Xbox One and Xbox Series X. The company previously called " Halo Infinite " as a game that supports technology. But also other Microsoft titles like " Forza Motorsport ", " Senua's Saga: Hellblade II " or " Sea of ​​Thieves" .

As the first external studio, CD Projekt Red announced that "Cyberpunk 2077 *" also only had to be bought once to play on Xbox One or Xbox Series X. Some of the games for the Xbox Series X are already known.

Gamers should never be forced to purchase the same game twice or pay for upgrades. Owners of # Cyberpunk2077 for Xbox One will receive the Xbox Series X upgrade for free when available. https://t.co/nfkfFLj85w

Xbox Series X: Microsoft promises backwards compatibility

The main disadvantage of new generations of consoles is that old games no longer work. But that should end in Christmas 2020. While in the Playstation 5 also still speculation, Microsoft has clearly said all existing Xbox One games also run on the Xbox Series X . In addition, all backward-compatible games for Xbox 360 and Xbox should remain playable.

Xbox Series X: These are the hardware specifications

There is also information about the Xbox Series X hardware . Accordingly, Microsoft has had a processor from AMD tailored for the Xbox Series X. This is based on the Zen-2 series and the RDNA-2 architecture. According to the group, the processor delivers four times more power than the XBox One. With twelve TFLOPS, the graphics performance is twice as high as that of the Xbox One X.

Microsoft's Variable Rate Shading should ensure stable frame rates and a higher native resolution . In addition, the Xbox Series X should have hardware-accelerated DirectX ray tracing. The technology delivers almost photo-realistic lighting effects, optimized reflections and special acoustics in real time.

How much does the Xbox Series X cost and when does the console come?

Microsoft has not yet commented on the price of the Xbox Series X. The release date of the new Xbox * is still not really certain. A release is planned for Christmas 2020.
