A Microsoft representative said, “The name of our next-generation game console is simply“ Xbox. ”And in The Game Awards 2019, it was revealed that the name will be realized through“ Series X. ” He says. In other words, Xbox Series X refers to the entire development project for next-generation game machines, and the name of the game machine is “Xbox”.

Phil Spencer, who heads Microsoft's game development department, said in a GameSpot interview: 'If it's called 'Series X', we create a descriptor when we need it, and we can do anything else with that name. I can do it. ' In other words, the Xbox One series released additional models, etc., as there were three models: the regular version of `` Xbox One '', the inexpensive and slim `` Xbox One S '', and the high-spec version of `` Xbox One X '' It is assumed that the name of the game machine has been simplified on the premise of doing so.



According to Spencer , Xbox Series X will support backward compatibility that will allow Xbox One games to be played on the release date. Jason Ronald, partner director of the Xbox division, said, “There are currently thousands of games that can be played on the Xbox One. We just want to be able to advance those games with our users. We want to move the service forward with the player, including the gamer score and list of friends that the user is currently using, and the achievements he has played in the game so far. ' Not only does it make Xbox One games playable, but it also suggests that various statuses will be passed on to the next generation.

A major challenge when supporting backward compatibility is that each generation of games is optimized for the unique hardware features of each game console. However, the Xbox Series X is designed with silicon in mind, so it is possible to support strong backward compatibility.
