REPOST: 6 things you need to know about the Xbox One X

Microsoft’s newest console, the much-hyped Xbox One X, is nearly upon us. If you haven’t checked out our full review of the new console, then we thoroughly suggest you do so right now - it’s a complex beast.

There’s a lot to take in with the new console, and it’s also the most complicated piece of gaming hardware to try and describe. Like the PS4 Pro, it won’t have exclusive games, but instead it’ll have games that are ‘enhanced’ for the new hardware.

As if that wasn’t complicated enough already, the nature of these enhancements varies on a game-by-game basis, and some games even give you several options as to how you want them to use the additional horsepower the console provides.

We’ve put together this list of the top six things you need to know to get you up to speed with the new console as quickly as possible.

1. HDR, 4K and 60fps are the maximum, not the standard
2. Supporting the Xbox One X is completely optional for developers
3. You don’t need an X to get lots of its most interesting features
4. Non-enhanced games will still play better
5. Xbox One X patches are freaking huge!
6. VR is still a complete unknown on this console
