Xbox Series X specs revealed by Phil Spencer, Supports Full Backwards Compatibility, 120 FPS in Games

Xbox has shared its details for the upcoming Series X console, boasting a high-end AMD processor, accelerated graphics and SSD loading.

In a release by company head Phil Spencer, the Xbox Series X could also let developers clock their game performances up to 120 frames per second and use “Variable Rate Shading” to keep visuals and performance intact.

The next-gen system will also have backwards compatibility with “existing Xbox One games, including backward-compatible Xbox 360 and original Xbox games,” while enhancing them through a 12 teraflop GPU reportedly faster than current premium PC cards.

Additional upgrades also let the Series X “Quick resume for multiple games,” hinting at a possibility to multitask different games or jump back into them after a system nap.
