The Xbox Series X is Microsoft's flagship fourth-generation home video game console, released in November 2020 as part of the ninth generation of consoles. It is the more powerful counterpart to the budget-friendly Xbox Series S, succeeding the previous Xbox One family. The console is designed to deliver high-fidelity gaming with features like 4K resolution and fast load times.
It is notable for its position in the competitive console market, where it directly rivals Sony's PlayStation 5. The platform is central to Microsoft's gaming ecosystem, which includes the popular Xbox Game Pass subscription service, providing access to a large library of games.
Recently, the Xbox Series X has been featured in news headlines due to the ongoing Black Friday sales period. Numerous gaming and tech publications are reporting on discounts and special offers for the console and related games. These reports highlight savings on the hardware itself and coincide with announcements of new games being added to the Game Pass catalog, making it a focal point for consumer deals.
