Microsoft Xbox Series X Console 1TB Carbon Black

Microsoft's most powerful console, with a 4K Blu-ray drive built in. It targets true 4K at up to 120 frames per second, and it plays four generations of Xbox games — original Xbox, 360, One and Series titles — off the same machine. If the household uses Game Pass, this is the box that runs everything in the library at its best settings.

What you get

12 teraflop RDNA 2 graphics with a 3.8GHz eight-core Zen 2 CPU , which is what delivers true 4K rather than an upscale

1TB custom NVMe SSD with hardware decompression , so games load in seconds and Quick Resume can hold several suspended at once

Quick Resume keeps multiple games paused in the background, so you can switch between them without sitting through load screens

4K UHD Blu-ray drive , so discs, second-hand games and 4K films all work without another device

Four generations of backward compatibility , so an old disc collection is not stranded

Variable Refresh Rate, Auto Low Latency Mode and AMD FreeSync over HDMI 2.1 , so a modern TV switches itself into game mode and stops tearing

Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support for games and streaming apps
