In an interview as part of Gamelab Live 2020 earlier this week, head of Xbox Phil Spencer suggested that the immersive nature of Xbox Series X games will be a "dramatic step up" from Xbox One.
While explaining that the deltas between the two console generations "will be smaller from a visual impact," he noted that high frame rates and low input latency will make a big difference going forward:
"We're able to get to almost lifelike graphics today, even on current-gen in certain instances. But when you take that and you mix it with a very high frame rate, solid frame rate, very little latency in input, and the ability for game storytellers to really push the emotion and the story they're trying to get through their game, through the screen, through the controller and into you - that is something I'm feeling in the games now that is a dramatic step up.”
This isn't the first time Microsoft has honed in on the "immersive" and "responsive" nature of Xbox Series X games, having previously called it "the ultimate console for players who want the most immersive games from a device designed, built and optimized for gaming with zero compromises." Now, when do those pre-orders open Phil?

To be fair, when you look at games like the last of us part 2 and Gears 5, you do wonder how big the leap in graphics will be next gen.
Tho loading screens banished to the mists of time is definitely a good thing. And if we can consistently get 60fps, cool, no complaints there
Yea Microsoft & Phil are touting 60 FPS big time lately. It’s probably because Sony’s games will be running at 30 FPS, so I get why they are bringing it up so much.
I like Phil being out there & letting us fans in on what we can expect from XSX.
Cant wait to experience next gen gaming.
Monster Hunter World has a jerky frame rate even on Xbox One X, I can't wait to see how games like that run on Series X even when not enhanced because the technological leap is huge. Imagine those games running at 60 FPS on Series X.
Microsoft explained that they engineered Series X so next-generation games would run at 4K60. Xbox Game Studios are working on Unreal Engine 4 and will migrate to 5. It's clear that all of them will run at 60 FPS and that's great news.
Microsoft has their boot on Sony's neck. Phil is just over confident and I'm sold. What was Sony thinking with variable clocks with CPU/GPU?
i'll say it again: good, great, fine. enough talk, show us some games already. no more promises, no more just wait..!
we've heard it all, now prove it. so i can preorder! lol
Microsoft seem too confident to the point that if they don’t deliver exactly what they are promising it will go bad
@armondo36 I think it's just Phil being polite and answering everyone that asks and with 1 million gaming websites... You can see he's tired in that YouTube video where the interviewer has a weird face because Phil repeats the same words. Perhaps Phil shouldn't push himself so hard. For instance, don't talk to any website until July's event.
Can't wait to see what they reveal in July.
