TheXbox Series Xis on the way and its packing quite a bit of custom hardware. Today, Jason Ronald, Director of Program Management on Xbox Series X, went into a little moredetailon just what the specialXbox Velocity Architectureentails.
Ronald talks about how in addition to having a custom SSD, the Xbox Series X also has extremely capable hardware decompression and far more efficient memory usage. None of this is “new” information but it’s broken down in a more detailed, thorough fashion. Xbox also released a trailer with some the key highlights of Xbox Velocity Architecture. You can see the trailer below.
If this is complicated, the important takeaway is that Xbox is using a fast SSD to make loading games and game assets much quicker.
Custom technology is obviously nice but games are the reason players buy new systems and after a sample of third-party titles were shown off in May, the industry is waiting to see just what Xbox Game Studios has in store. Xbox is holding a bigXbox Games Showcaseon July 23, where we’ll seeHalo Infiniteand other big Xbox titles in the pipeline.
