Xbox One X Will Play These 118 Games in Stunning Quality

The Xbox One X is almost here. Microsoft’s $499 console, set to launch November 7, plays the same games as the $249 Xbox One S, but thanks to a higher performing set of internal graphics chips, some games will play in far higher quality. The company boasts gaming at full 4K resolution at 60 frames per second, meaning those with a high-end TV will be able to see more detail than ever. On Monday, during the Gamescom conference in Cologne, Microsoft revealed the initial list of 118 Xbox One games that will run with enhancements on the One X.

The list is crucial to getting gamers on side. Microsoft is competing with Sony, which has followed a similar structure with the $399 PlayStation 4 Pro playing the same games as the $249 PlayStation 4 Slim. But while the PS4 Pro promises 4K gaming, it only has a 4.2 teraflop graphics chip, compared to the six-teraflop chip found in the One X. That means developers are more constrained on the PS4 Pro, and may depend on graphical tricks like checkerboarding to reach 4K without actually running directly at that resolution.

Alongside more power, Microsoft could take the lead if it can also convince buyers that it has a better selection of enhanced games. Here’s the currently announced list:
