Xbox Series X specifications
A lot of data was leaked before the show, but the introduction of cards that increased storage space was particularly noticeable. Players will want to know how much they will cost, but there is still no price information. As you can see from the data sheet, Microsoft also allows you to connect an external hard drive.
Faster load times
When launching a game on the console, you should also notice that it takes less time to load compared to the Xbox One X. The developer gave you a foresight in the video above. Here you can directly compare current and upcoming consoles.
Switch games quickly with the "Quick Recovery" feature
Another advantage is the "quick recovery" feature. In the clip above, you can see how the player can quickly switch between different titles without waiting long. After all, your time is precious.
Just a few weeks ago, the new features of the game console were confirmed. So you will enjoy hardware-accelerated ray tracing. With this technology, you should be able to experience more realistic lighting effects, such as reflections.
Smart delivery, backward compatible
Another new feature is the feature called "Smart Delivery", which refers to the backward compatibility of the Xbox series X, which has been extended to all Xbox versions. Smart Delivery is designed to ensure that your Xbox games will run on the correct version on each console model. This technology is suitable for all developers and publishers.

The release date or price of the console has not yet been determined, and maybe Microsoft will release the information after the cancellation of E3. It might be more expensive than this Xbox cake.
