Gaming leaves an indelible mark on all of us. From the epic stories and universes we experience playing as our favorite heroes, to the heat of intense competition, victory and defeat. Through the shared accomplishments we achieve as a worldwide community, gaming brings us together.
Thousands of developers from across the globe are currently creating the next generation of transformative games, many of which can only be realized through the power and innovation of the Xbox Series X. Led by Halo Infinite, our 15 Xbox Game Studios teams are hard at work creating the biggest and best line up of exclusives in Xbox history. We are incredibly excited to show many of the new games in development for Xbox Series X soon.
Preserving Your Gaming Legacy
As gamers, we also know how important it is to preserve and respect our gaming legacies. Your favorite games and franchises, your progression and achievements, and the friendships and communities you create through gaming should all move with you across generations. Not only that, your favorite gaming accessories and peripherals should also move forward with you as well.
Our goal has always been to empower gamers to play the best versions of games from across four generations of Xbox at the launch of Xbox Series X. These principles were key to us from Day 1 and influenced many of our design decisions as we started on our journey to create our most powerful and compatible console ever.
Compatibility Journey
Our compatibility journey began with the announcement of Xbox 360 Backwards Compatibility coming to Xbox One at E3 2015. I clearly remember that first magical experience of jumping into one of my favorite Xbox 360 games, Final Fantasy XIII, and instantly resuming where I had left off years before as if no time had passed at all. I was instantly transported back to that special time and all the great memories and personal connections I have made through gaming. The energy and passion from the community continues to motivate us to this day.
Through a tremendous amount of hard work, technical innovation, and partnership with the industry’s leading creators we were not only able to bring more than 500 Xbox 360 games to Xbox One, we were able to go back even further into the archives and resurrect some of your favorite franchises from the original Xbox. The very same team who created new innovative ways to preserve and enhance your existing catalog of games on Xbox One is the same team pushing the envelope again with Xbox Series X.
Maintaining compatibility presents a massive technical challenge as fundamental system and chip architectures advance across generations. Developers highly optimize their games to the unique capabilities and performance of a console to provide the best experience for their players. To make the Xbox Series X our most compatible console ever required both significant innovation in the design of the custom processor as well as the unique design of the Xbox operating system and hypervisor at the heart of our next generation platform.
With more than 100,000 hours of play testing already completed, thousands of games are already playable on Xbox Series X today, from the biggest blockbusters to cult classics and fan favorites. Many of us in Team Xbox play on the Xbox Series X daily as our primary console and switching between generations is seamless. By the time we launch this holiday, the team will have spent well over 200,000 hours ensuring your game library is ready for you to jump in immediately.
All Games Play Better on Xbox Series X
Not only should gamers be able to play all of these games from the past, but they should play better than ever before. Backwards compatible games run natively on the Xbox Series X hardware, running with the full power of the CPU, GPU and the SSD. No boost mode, no downclocking, the full power of the Xbox Series X for each and every backward compatible game. This means that all titles run at the peak performance that they were originally designed for, many times even higher performance than the games saw on their original launch platform, resulting in higher and more steady framerates and rendering at their maximum resolution and visual quality. Backwards compatible titles also see significant reductions in in-game load times from the massive leap in performance from our custom NVME SSD which powers the Xbox Velocity Architecture. As I play through my personal backlog as part of our internal testing, all of the incredible games from Xbox One and earlier play best on Xbox Series X.
The team was not content to just rely on the increased hardware performance to improve your playing experience. The team developed new platform level capabilities to ensure all of your games continue to get even better. In partnership with the Xbox Advanced Technology Group, Xbox Series X delivers a new, innovative HDR reconstruction technique which enables the platform to automatically add HDR support to games. As this technique is handled by the platform itself, it allows us to enable HDR with zero impact to the game’s performance and we can also apply it to Xbox 360 and original Xbox titles developed almost 20 years ago, well before the existence of HDR.
In addition, the new Quick Resume feature was designed to not only work with new games, but it can also be enabled for backward-compatible titles. Quick Resume enables players to resume exactly where they left off, across multiple titles, ensuring gamers can get right back to the fun in an instant.
All of these advances happen at the platform level and require no additional work from title developers.
Advancing the State of the Art of Game Preservation
In addition to preserving the legacy of our loyal fans who have been with us since the beginning, we enable entirely new generations of gamers to play and enjoy the timeless games from our past while respecting and honoring their creators.
Beginning with Xbox One X, the compatibility team developed brand new innovations that could be applied to a hand curated list of titles to enhance them even further than what was possible when they were first created. Techniques such as the Heutchy method, which enables titles to render with increased resolutions up to 4K, or applying anisotropic filtering to improve the final image quality bring these classic games up to modern standards, better than ever before.
With all of the additional power and advancements of the Xbox Series X, the compatibility team now has a veritable playground of new capabilities to innovate and push the limits of game preservation and enhancement. The compatibility team has invented brand new techniques that enable even more titles to run at higher resolutions and image quality while still respecting the artistic intent and vision of the original creators. We are also creating whole new classes of innovations including the ability to double the frame rate of a select set of titles from 30 fps to 60 fps or 60 fps to 120 fps.
The team also continues to listen to feedback from the community on additional titles you would like to see added to the compatibility program. Resurrecting titles from history often presents a complex mix of technical and licensing challenges, but the team is committed to doing everything we can to continue to preserve our collective gaming legacy.
We can’t wait to share more with you as we get closer to the launch of Xbox Series X this holiday.
I wish they would release the list of backwards compatible games so I can pick up a few before they skyrocket in price
yo i have to say man xbox is killing it.i mean i still love ps4's exclusives and all but xbox is and will always be king of the jungle.im still salty the ps4 still cant skype,video chat.i mean until a yr ago you wasn't able to hook your external hard drive to it.all sony has is exclusives.
im so pissed right now famz.first off the s4 conference got canceled due to whats going on and then i just found out that call of duty season 4 got delayed due to all this thats going on.which make no since because this is the stuff to get people in there homes and off the streets.well some of the people.i get the protest i do but dang man gaming is my only out.i dont drink or smoke i raise 3 children and i look forward to things like this man..cant go any where due to this pandemic i mean give me a break lol.im serious im pissed lol
yo i am gonna start this off like this.i love xbox you hear love it as a company but i am sick to death of xbox with these sorry games there bringing out.second show and the same ol bull.im sorry i will forever say that sony has the best single player games ever and xbox have the best multiplayer and sport games ever..man i was geek like a kid in a candy store waiting for this press conference and once again i was let down.i mean the only game that got my hype was state of decay 3 and maybe that shooter at the end of the show. i mean they have the means to make aaa single player game they just dont.they make these dumb looking game that should be on the nintendo switch!!!!let keep ok real ok why the heck they keep making halo!! forza motorsport!! ori game and all the other repeats thats not gonna sell the system!! if its not a first person game its a kiddy looking game if not that a repeat game that they have 5 or 6 games of.like i always said i will get a ps5 for my killer exclusives and have the series x for multiplayer and sports games.tired of these fools man..its like these dummies at xbox cant be like "her since sony have a spiderman game then lets come out with a superman game or any other freakin superhero game.smh lol those studios and all but 4 makes kiddy games.
An xbox is not worth buying because they don t have the exclusives.
naw you cant just say that because the online is way better and the multiplayer is better and the game look better on the xbox series x.im sure there will be some good exclusives later on but as of right now there's none lol.but the box is definitely getting bought.
It's time for 343 to stop making Halo, make a new IP because they can't get Halo right. That Slipspace Engine doesn't look too impressive. Xbox needs to make a deal with Bungie to have them come back and do Halo. That Halo demo had some problems. It had too many pop-ins in the back ground, trees and grass. The facial animation sucked. It's bad that The Last Of Us 2 facial and environmental background looks better than a next gen Halo game. So far Rachet and Clank looks like the only true next gen game. Xbox hasn't sold me on their console yet. The Xbox execs and fanboys hyped this show up and at the last minute Aaron Greenberg tells us to lower our expectation or something similar to that. Xbox one barely made it to 45-50 million and from the games they showed they may not make it to 30 million next gen.
This is why the Xbox threads need to be merged.
I think it will still be a better system than the Ps5....
Ratchet and clank was done with Pre-alpha footage and it doesn’t have a release date. It might not have any of the shit in the final game. “I’m looking at you Anthem”
So I’ll say... that none of the system look next gen. Phil spencer said as much. That’s why I think it’s smart with the everything on gamepass solution. I can upgrade if I want to but I don’t have too. With PS5 I’ll have to buy the system to play the side adventure for Miles Morales. But with Xbox I can upgrade and with gamepass I get Halo infinite same day. That’s a good bargain.
Halo was the only thing thing that looked cool to me everything else looked like trash.
welp yall for those who care halo will be delayed till 2021.i didn't care for it but it needed to because it looked like crap.
did yall just see the new call of duty game play?!! wow i cant wait to get this one.the way i had to see it was in game and had to do all these crazy task then we had to run to the stadium then it came on.dope

temu, fashion nova and home depot alone will keep you busy
Yo, what the fuck is this Temu shit hitting for? My lady is always ordering shit from there. I saw a youtube ad with some kind of weird Japanese portable washing machine, and thought it was just some foreign company.
brah.....
temu is taking over aliexpress alibaba, etc in sales all that chinese gadgetry, etc is being sold in droves.
what's nice when buying from them is when you buy one thing they give you like 3-5 more just because i bought like 20 bucks worth of shit and they give me triple quadruple on most of the things i ordered.
Is it just gadgets?
pretty much but they do have clothing as well.
