However, this doesn't mean that the Xbox One S is being scrapped, no, it's all part of Microsoft's Xbox family and with this, all the newest titles will be compatible with both. The Xbox One X will get enhancements from improved visuals, anti-aliasing and 4K support. And if you don't have a 4K TV, you'll get the improved enhancements from supersampling for 1080p users.

To keep the system running cool and small console size, the Xbox One X features a liquid-cooled vapour chamber and optimised power management to keep the temperatures under control.

In keeping with the Xbox echo system as a family, all existing and upcoming games will be compatible across both the Xbox One S and Xbox One X.
