The NEW Xbox Series X 2024

This is indeed an exciting time because we will finally see what the company has been working on for the past few years and we will actually learn what rumors and leaks we have been hearing for months are true. And it is also Microsoft's turn to prove to us that the new Xbox is an amazing piece of hardware that will once again give a new lease of life to the gaming industry. So the next generation Xbox will be unveiled on May 21st and here is everything we know and what will likely be confirmed at the event:

According to leaked information, the new Xbox will be powered by an AMD 8-core 64-bit APU (processor + graphics in one chip) running at 1.6 GHz. According to Bloomberg, this is the same chip that Sony will use in the Playstation 4. The console will also come with 8 GB of DDR3 memory, 500 GB hard drive for storing games, videos and music, a Blu-Ray drive, HDMI, USB 3.0 ports, Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet and a virtually unchanged wireless controller.

It's interesting to hear that Microsoft will include a Blu-Ray drive after many reports revealed that "Durango," the Xbox's current codename, will not include an optical drive at all.
