 Hey everyone, so it looks like we're kicking off our well I don't know what is this the 24th one of the last full weeks actually the last full week of February We're kicking it off with Xbox series X news In fact Microsoft has come out to drop the specs for the system along with the slew of other information And this is cool because there was that leak last week that talked about How it's weaker than the PlayStation 5 and what have you and we don't really even know what the PlayStation 5 specs are But now we have an idea of what the Xbox series X is going to be offering Although no price point and it's interesting how they released this information So usually be something they do at an event, but instead they just kind of threw it out there as a blog post So and then you know shared it on social media. So whatever doesn't really matter Let's get right into the Xbox series X news get into those specs again directly from Microsoft All right, as you see here, we're on the official Xbox website through Microsoft and scrolling down here Let's just read what it said the future of gaming has never been more inspiring creativity in games is flourishing New services empower you to discover more games and bring you closer to the games and creators and streamers you love The cloud creates a massive opportunity to stream console quality games and play with the people you want wherever you want And for many of us nothing is more inspiring than the dawn of a new console generation We know what you expect the next generation of consoles to set new standards in graphical power and processing speed Converging together in games that look incredible and feel alive This will be defined by worlds that are visually astounding and immediately immersive with innovative leaps in CPU GPU and storage technology to give you frictionless access to new stories and new creators Constantly we've been using Xbox series X in our internal take-home program and are energized by the feedback We've been receiving at Xbox we value being open and transparent with you And I'm proud to be able to share details about some of the technologies We are enabling for the next generation and look forward to boldly sharing more as we head towards e3 So e3 seems to be the big showcase they're gonna do but they're gonna have you know little details like this coming out So it is officially 12 Teraflops of GPU performance last week. It was rumored to be 11.8 It is official 12 teraflops as officially announced This is the first time they have talked about the teraflops of the platform So 12 teraflops of GPU performance variable rate shading is involved hardware accelerated direct x ray tracing quick resume for multiple games So you basically have multiple games launched and you can quick resume to different games and smart delivery a Superior balance of power and speed compared to the previous generation Xbox series X represents a superior balance of power and speed in console design advancing on all technological fronts to delivering amazing dynamic living worlds and minimize any Aspects that you could take out of the experience our job at team Xbox is to give teams the tools They need to achieve their ambitions and tap into the console's power with efficiency a few which were detailed today Raw power is just part of the story the next generation custom Processor Xbox series X is the most powerful console ever powered by our custom designed processor leveraging AMD's latest Zen 2 and our DNA to Architectures delivering four times the processing power of an Xbox one and a viewing developers to leverage 12 teraflops of GPU Graphic processing unit performance twice that of the Xbox one X and more than eight times the original Xbox one Xbox series X delivers a true generation to leap in processing and graphics power with cutting edge technologies Resulting in higher frame rates larger more sophisticated game worlds and immersive experiences unlike anything seen in console gaming The variable rate shading is our patented form of VRS and powers developers to more efficiently utilize the full power of the Xbox series X rather than spending GPU cycles Uniforming lead to every single pixel on the screen. They can prioritize individual effects on specific game characters or important environmental objects This technique results in more stable frame rates and higher resolution with no impact on the final image quality Hardware accelerated direct x ray tracing you can expect more dynamic and realistic environments powered by hardware accelerated direct x ray tracing First for console gaming. This means true-to-life lighting accurate reflections realistic acoustics in real time as you explore the game world So immersion in an instant the next console generation will be defined more by more playing and less waiting and when play begins We know many gamers demand ultra low latency to be as immersed and precise as possible To this end the team analyzed every step between the player and game from controller to console display and asked how we can make It faster so starting with SSD storage with our next generation SSD You know the every aspect of playing games is improved game worlds are larger more dynamic and load in a flash and fast travel It's just that fast quick resume the new quick resume feature lets you continue multiple games from a suspended state Almost instantly returning you to where you were and what you were doing without waiting through long loading screens Can't wait for that feature a dynamic latency input We're optimizing latency in the player-to-console pipeline starting with our Xbox wireless controller, which leverages our high bandwidth proprietary wireless communication protocol when connected to the console with dynamically Latency input a new feature with synchronizes input immediately with what is displayed controls are even more precise and responsive Now there's still going to be latency I know they talk about immediate this immediate that but any sort of wireless protocol is still going to have Some latency compared to wired but having something that's better than Bluetooth and better than the current stuff being used is a welcome site I know most gamers don't care about that there, but there are some that prefer wired controllers for specific types of games It will be nice to see an improvement Here that you don't see if they actually at that improvement is true I don't have the ability to test that here But digital foundering others will probably be really putting it through the ringer and making sure. Hey Is it actually faster? I guess we'll find out HDMI 2.1 innovation we partner with the HDMI forum and TV manufacturers to enable the best gaming experience through features such as auto low Latency mode and variable refresh rate auto low latency mode allows Xbox one and Xbox series X to automatically set the connected display to as a Lowest latency mode. So this even applies to the older Xbox VRR synchronizes the displays refresh rate to the games frame rate So changing the refresh rate of the the TV to whatever So if it's a 30 frame game a manacted magnum to 30 60 60 120 120, etc. Basically automatically changing the TVs settings This is the minimized tearing and all that ensuring minimal lag in the most responsive gaming experience 120 FPS support this was rumored to be there before now We know I was support for up to 120 FPS Xbox series X all those developers who exceed the standard 60 f But if you ever a heightened realism or fast-paced action So they get forego maybe a 4k resolution go with like a 1440p 1080p But target 120 FPS, which would be crazy because right now 60 FPS isn't technically even standard in every video game on Xbox You know the Xbox one X or the PlayStation 4 Pro. It's not standard So seeing that you know, hey, so you know this to me at least makes me feel like 60 FPS is gonna be standard Although we know there's gonna be a lot of games pushing the max visual fidelity of 4k That's gonna be 30 FPS, but maybe they offer a performance mode I hope that becomes a standard where they offer offer performance balls when you can bump down the resolution and increase the frame rate That's something that I really hope becomes a thing performance modes exist. You know, this is a Nintendo channel So when you look at Nintendo games the Fire Emblem Warriors has a performance mode that increases frame rate below resolution just as an example the next generation of game Compatibility this I think is really neat So the benefits of the next console generation extend in every direction bringing greater visual fidelity and improved loading speeds to your existing game Legacy in addition to new games we're continuing our commitment to compatibility with Xbox Series X and investing technology that makes game ownership Easier across generations. Remember when there was like going in the Xbox one There was that oh, you know, you don't own your games or this or that man Have they come completely a complete 180 here that for this next gen for generations of gaming This is so neat our commitment to compatibility means existing Xbox one games Including backward compatible Xbox 360 and original Xbox games. Look and play better than ever before Your favorite games including titles in the Xbox game pass Benefit from steadier frame rates faster load times and improved resolution and visual fidelity all with no Developer work required your Xbox one gaming accessories also come forward with you So you don't have to buy a whole on a whole new set of controllers and all that Whether or not they use that I don't think they're gonna use that new wider this technology But you know, whatever the old technology is still in there. Yeah, that is That's awesome. The entire library of Xbox right there like this Nintendo Sony take note This needs to be a thing that happens and all the games are just better They're just literally just better without having the developers even release updates. All right smart delivery This technology empowers you to buy a game once and know that whether you are playing on Xbox one or Xbox series X You are getting the right version of that game or on whatever Xbox you're playing on We're making the commitment to use smart delivery on all of our exclusive Xbox game studio titles Including Halo infinite ensuring you only have to purchase the title once to play the best available version on whichever Xbox console They choose to play it on this technology is available for all developers and publishers and they could choose it to use for titles They release an Xbox one first and come to Xbox series X later What they're basically saying is the days of having to buy one version and buying like the Xbox series X version are gone At least for exclusive games I don't know how many third parties are gonna take advantage of this because they're gonna love to repackage and Re-release and sell them for 60 bucks again But for when it comes to exclusive games, it doesn't matter you but if you buy the og Xbox version It's the same version. That's on the other platform. Just it'll just be better. So Yeah, this is great. This is Wow, like yes everything. I am hearing up to this point about Xbox series X like yes Obviously content is king. So they got to have the content But man, all right, let's get the Xbox game pass Which is maybe the greatest thing Microsoft's done this generation in addition to games From across four generations of consoles are leading game subscription service Xbox game pass We'll continue to have our first party games like halo infinite, which they're gonna keep pumping a halo infinite The biggest game they got coming included at their launch We look forward to millions of you experiencing the Xbox game pass portfolio and immersing yourselves in a deep library of high-quality games Playing those you love now and also discovering your next great adventure a Generation with players at the center Xbox series X is our fastest most powerful console ever Designed for a console generation that has you at its center This means a high-fidelity gaming experience enclosed in a quiet and bold design and with the ability to discover thousands of games across four Generations all with more playing and less waiting whether it's empowering amazing creators at our 15 Xbox game studios fueling game discovery with Xbox game pass or expanding what and where you can play it with project X cloud team Xbox stands for frictionous pathways between players and the best experiences our remarkable art form has to offer Xbox series X represents that same commitment to players who want to immediately immerse in games that also look and feel better than ever We can't wait to share more details about the new Xbox with you in coming months, and that's that's it That's the post. So here's what the Xbox series X looks like for those of you that maybe missed it or weren't aware It's in the thumbnails. So Yeah, pretty damn cool So my takeaways here are that the Xbox series X and what Microsoft is doing they're checking every box Like yeah, they're gonna be pushing x-cloud. They didn't really talk about it much here You know x-cloud is a thing usable here. They're not talking about they're focusing on what we want to hear What do we want to hear? We want confirmation 12 teraflops of performance. We want SSD confirmation We know we're not getting how much RAM there is or what the CPU speeds are But what we are getting is confirmation of a bunch of features such as buy a game once You know, hey, you can confidently confidently buy a game right now for Xbox series X or Xbox one X or For the Xbox one period, you know buy Halo infinite or whatever and know You're already going to have the Xbox series X version because the same disc the same everything will work in the Xbox series X And we'll just download the better assets for that platform all games are gonna perform better no matter what this is This is great literally nothing in here is bad news The only bad news is if you presume with all these confirmations, you know that this thing's gonna cost $599 that they're gonna go PS3 price range. I don't think that's happening I think 499 is the max price point for these next-generation systems But I'm pretty excited like we are here on a Monday with official Next-gen news and of course Microsoft went first again Still from Sony all we have is a logo PlayStation 5 Technically we also have what what might be a final design because The PlayStation 5 Dev kits that are now confirmed on what they look like look a lot like the PlayStation 5 logo on the official websites I mean you look at the system. I don't know. You know couldn't it could just be temporary, but Still what we really have for PlayStation 5 is a logo and then confirmation dev units exist Xbox one or expect series X. We know what it looks like. We know this is some of the technology in it We know some of the specs now like we know some of the functionality do quick resume over multiple different games Like that is crazy. I'm I'm so thrilled for what next-gen is gonna bring not just from my Microsoft You're like the reason I saw so excited where Microsoft is we have actual concrete details when Sony finally comes out and gives us Details of PlayStation 5 or just a way up. I'll be gushing over that as well And you know people always want to know what's this have to do with Nintendo? Not a whole lot. I think Nintendo is gonna be fine. I don't think this platform here this switch I don't think they they need to worry too much about what these companies are doing this year We'll talk about maybe its effect in 2021 or 2022 and another time on Nintendo switch Thank you guys so much for tuning in if you enjoyed this video Let me know down in the comments below again another non Nintendo story We'll have probably something Nintendo later today But I mean this is huge news how to get it out to you guys as quickly as I could thank you for tuning in I am the Thunder of a chance from the center, but if you enjoy the video drop a like comment down below Go ahead and subscribe to the channel and yeah, we'll get more content like this coming your way Yeah, whatever I got nothing else for you catch you guys in the next video You
