Microsoft's next generation console, the Xbox Series X will usher in a new era of console gaming that pushes the envelope in performance and graphics. It will also inherit a large library of games from previous consoles thanks to built-in bakcwards compatibility and an openness to retrofitting older titles. Jason Ronald, Partner Director of Program Management for the Xbox Platform Team, published an Xbox Wire post that details the Xbox team’s journey to make Xbox Series X the most compatible console ever, which required significant innovation in the design of the custom processor and Xbox operating system.

"Thousands of developers from across the globe are currently creating the next generation of transformative games, many of which can only be realized through the power and innovation of the Xbox Series X. Led by Halo Infinite, our 15 Xbox Game Studios teams are hard at work creating the biggest and best line up of exclusives in Xbox history. We are incredibly excited to show many of the new games in development for Xbox Series X soon," Ronald said in the post.
