The Xbox Series X may be delayed by the corona virus

At the end of this year we can start with a new game console in the form of the Xbox Series X. We have already seen a few things from that new game console. This week we had the Xbox Games Showcase, in which various games were shown. But before that, much has been announced about the functions of the new game console.
To help you get started in the jungle of information, we have listed the main improvements that the Xbox Series X brings us. That way you get a good idea of what to expect.
Smart Delivery
Those who are afraid to buy games for the Xbox One now, because the same game also appears on the Xbox Series X, can actually take away that fear right away. The new game console works with a technique called Smart Delivery, which most games use. This means that if you have bought a game for the Xbox One and it is available for the new game console, you will automatically receive a version for the Series X. That way you don’t have to worry about having to make a double purchase if turns out that the next-gen version is really a lot nicer.

Quick Resume for multiple titles
One of the major improvements that the current generation of consoles brought was the ability to pick up where you left off when you put the console into standby mode. That way you don’t have to go through the full start-up screen every time and experience all the loading times. With the Xbox Series X, Quick Resume returns and is even improved. It will be possible to put several games in a kind of sleep mode and switch between them. Useful when you go crazy with Halo Infinite, but your kids want to play Fortnite. When they are ready, you can immediately go through this function.
Shorter loading times for the Xbox Series X.
And when you go crazy on the Xbox Series X with a game, the loading times themselves will be considerably reduced. It may take a little longer than on the PlayStation 5, where this may be the most important feature, but it will certainly be shorter. An example of this was given some time ago with State of Decay 2. Where that game on Xbox One X takes 50 seconds to load a savefile, the same game does that on the new platform in 8 seconds. That is a significant step forward.
Visual improvements
Of course, this is a shot for open aim, but games released on the Xbox Series X will take advantage of the improved power of the new game console. If we look purely at the specs, this will be the most powerful game console on the market. Expect games that can eventually run at 120 FPS or in 8K resolution. In addition, you can also write down improved lighting effects thanks to the ray tracing techniques.

You can take your Xbox One gear with you to the Xbox Series X.
If you have currently invested a lot in the various accessories for the Xbox One, you can simply take them with you to the Xbox Series X. For example, the new controller is not very different from the controller you are using now, so you can take it with you. The same applies to any steering wheel or a specific headset. And of course the new game console has the advantage that all games of the Xbox One work on it. Many of them also run better, because they can automatically use the power that the new game console offers.
