Powerful AMD Zen 2 Processor

The Xbox Series X uses a custom 8-core AMD Zen 2 processor, providing the CPU performance required for demanding modern games, large open worlds and high frame rates.

Its processor works alongside the custom GPU and high-speed SSD to provide faster loading and smoother overall gameplay.

12 TFLOPS RDNA 2 Graphics

A custom AMD RDNA 2 GPU provides up to 12 TFLOPS of graphics performance.

The graphics architecture enables features such as:

• 4K gaming
• High frame rates
• Hardware-accelerated ray tracing
• Variable Rate Shading
• Variable Refresh Rate
• High Dynamic Range

This makes the Series X particularly suitable for gamers using modern 4K televisions and gaming monitors.

True 4K Gaming

The Xbox Series X is designed primarily for 4K gaming. Compatible games can render at high resolutions while maintaining detailed textures, lighting and visual effects.

Depending on the individual game, players may be able to choose between modes that prioritize:

• Higher resolution
• Higher frame rates
• Enhanced graphics
• Ray tracing

Actual resolution and performance vary by title.

Up to 120 FPS

Supported games can run at up to 120 frames per second when the Xbox Series X is connected to a compatible high-refresh-rate display.

Higher frame rates provide smoother motion and improved responsiveness, which can be particularly useful for:

• Racing games
• First-person shooters
• Sports games
• Fighting games
• Competitive multiplayer titles

A compatible 120Hz TV or monitor and supported game are required.

1TB Custom NVMe SSD

The Xbox Series X Disc Edition comes with a 1TB custom NVMe SSD.

Microsoft’s Xbox Velocity Architecture uses the high-speed SSD to significantly reduce loading times compared with previous-generation consoles.

The SSD also enables features such as Quick Resume, allowing supported games to resume much faster.

Some of the advertised storage capacity is reserved for system software, so usable storage is lower than 1TB.

4K UHD Blu-ray Disc Drive

One of the key differences between this model and the Xbox Series X Digital Edition is the built-in 4K UHD Blu-ray optical drive.

The disc drive allows users to:

• Play compatible physical Xbox Series X games
• Play supported Xbox One discs
• Use supported backward-compatible Xbox 360 and original Xbox discs
• Watch 4K UHD Blu-ray movies
• Play Blu-ray discs
• Play DVDs

This makes the Disc Edition particularly suitable for gamers who already own physical Xbox games or prefer collecting boxed titles.

Hardware-Accelerated Ray Tracing

The Xbox Series X supports hardware-accelerated DirectX Ray Tracing.

In compatible games, ray tracing can improve the realism of:

• Reflections
• Shadows
• Lighting
• Ambient effects

The exact implementation and performance depend on the individual game.

16GB GDDR6 Memory

The console features 16GB of GDDR6 memory, providing high-bandwidth memory for demanding games and graphical workloads.

Combined with the Zen 2 processor and RDNA 2 GPU, the memory system helps the console handle detailed game environments, high-resolution textures and modern graphical effects.

Quick Resume

Quick Resume is one of the signature features of the Xbox Series X.

It allows supported games to remain suspended so players can switch between several titles and return close to where they previously stopped without performing a complete game restart.

The number of games that can remain in Quick Resume varies according to their memory requirements.

Xbox Velocity Architecture

The Xbox Velocity Architecture combines the custom NVMe SSD with hardware and software technologies designed to improve data access and game loading.

Benefits include:

• Faster loading
• Faster game resumption
• More efficient asset streaming
• Larger and more detailed game environments

Backward Compatibility

Xbox Series X provides extensive backward compatibility across multiple generations of Xbox.

Players can access supported games from:

• Xbox Series X|S
• Xbox One
• Xbox 360
• Original Xbox

Compatibility varies by title, particularly for older-generation games.

Selected backward-compatible games can also benefit from improved loading, steadier frame rates, higher resolutions or features such as Auto HDR.

Xbox Game Pass Support

The Xbox Series X works with Xbox Game Pass, giving subscribers access to a rotating catalog of compatible games.

Depending on the selected Game Pass membership, users can access features such as:

• Downloadable console games
• Online multiplayer
• EA Play
• Cloud gaming
• Member discounts and benefits

Game availability and membership benefits depend on the current subscription tier.

Expandable Storage

If the internal SSD becomes full, the Xbox Series X supports dedicated Storage Expansion Cards designed to maintain the performance characteristics required for optimized Xbox Series X|S games.

USB external drives are also supported for compatible storage and backward-compatible games, although Xbox Series X|S optimized titles generally require internal or compatible expansion storage for direct gameplay.

HDMI 2.1

The console’s HDMI 2.1 output enables advanced display features when connected to compatible televisions and monitors.

Supported features include:

• 4K output
• Up to 120Hz
• Variable Refresh Rate
• Auto Low Latency Mode
• HDR

A compatible HDMI cable and display are required to take advantage of the relevant features.

Immersive Audio

Xbox Series X supports advanced spatial and surround-sound technologies for compatible games and audio equipment.

Supported technologies include:

• Dolby Atmos
• DTS:X
• Windows Sonic

These technologies can provide more accurate positional audio for compatible games, movies and entertainment.

Xbox Wireless Controller Included

• Dual analog thumbsticks
• Textured triggers
• Textured bumpers
