News: The most powerful console ever developed is now available worldwide with the limited edition Project Scorpio version and the standard version.

The Xbox One X is now available worldwide. The Xbox One X is the most powerful console in the world and is a pretty big jump up from the original Xbox One that was released four years ago in 2013. Despite the big jump the Xbox One X can still play all Xbox One games. It can also play the Xbox 360 and OG Xbox games that are backwards compatible. In fact, it can play those games better than the original consoles could. The Xbox One and Xbox One S can also play everything that the Xbox One X can play although, obviously, it will look and run better on the Xbox One X.

For those who haven’t really been following along as the Xbox One X was being developed the technical specs are as follows:
