Microsoft unveil Xbox Series X at The Game Awards - Pass the Controller

​Last night during The Game Awards, Phil Spencer gave us our first look at Xbox Series X, the new console which is slated to release towards the back end of 2020.

The design bears more than a passing resemblance to a PC tower and can be positioned vertically or horizontally. The controller appears to be based upon the Elite Series 2, judging from the similarly shaped D-pad, and includes a dedicated share button, much like PlayStation 4's Dual Shock 4. The new controller will also be compatible with current platforms and PCs.
In the trailer we get the briefest glimpse of three games, which we would assume are Halo Infinite, Fifa 21 and a new Forza, nailing the classic launch quota of at least one first-person shooter, racer and sports title.

According to the blog post, Xbox Series X will be "our fastest, most powerful console ever and set a new bar for performance, speed and compatibility, allowing you to bring your gaming legacy, thousands of games from three generations and more forward with you. Its industrial design enables us to deliver four times the processing power of Xbox One X in the most quiet and efficient way."

Xbox Series X is said to significantly reduce loading times (much like the future iteration of the PlayStation), whilst supporting 8K gaming, up to 120 frames per second, ray tracing, and variable refresh rate.

Also revealed was the follow-up to Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, entitled Senua's Saga: Hellblade II. No details about the upcoming sequel were released, aside from this trailer, captured entirely "in engine."
What do you think of the reveal? Is it too early to get excited? Let us know below or over in the forums.
