It's not very often we find ourselves talking about the Xbox One X these days, but if you're still using one of these consoles as your main Xbox system in 2024, we're willing to bet you're still having a pretty great experience with it.
The Xbox One X was the king of the previous generation after all, and it remains "very capable" to this day. Don't take our word for it - a No Man's Sky engine programmer used those exact words yesterday to highlight it on social media:
Martin Griffiths, No Man's Sky developer: "Xbox One X is still a very capable console - plenty of memory and lots of power. We enabled the SSR recently on water because if we can we do! And of course station floors had it from day one. In fact we now enable nearly all of the Series S/X features apart from a few that the old Jaguar CPU struggles with - there’s definitely more life left in the (old) One X!"
Of course, some will point to the fact that No Man's Sky doesn't require as much performance power as many exclusive Xbox Series X|S titles, but it still seems to be a relatively demanding game - and it's running on a seven-year-old console with nearly all current-gen features turned on. We're not tech wizards or anything, but that seems pretty impressive!
You're not always going to great great results with modern titles these days, but the likes of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and even Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 remain highly playable on the Xbox One X in 2024, meaning there's still no immediate rush to upgrade to an Xbox Series X (or Series S) in some cases - especially if you use Xbox Cloud Gaming for the Series X|S exclusives as well. Simply put, Microsoft did a stellar job with this console!
