Interviewed by TechRadar, Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty said that the launch of Xbox Series X certainly won’t mean the end of the rest of the Xbox family and that they’ll be able to live alongside one another, maybe even in the same house:
“When [Series X] launches there will still be the Xbox One S out there, there will still be Xbox One X, and we really need to approach that Fam of devices, the same way we approach PC – content scales to meet the device. I think that’s going to be the case for anybody. We’ll absolutely lean in on the power of (Series X), we think is going to be the best way to play and it will be the best thing you can put in your living room, but we also want to understand that there will be a Fam of Xbox devices out there.”
Rumored: PROJECT LOCKHART….
sources believe it’ll be substantially more powerful than Microsoft’s current disc-less box, and will come with both a solid-state hard drive and a faster CPU than any current game console. The report goes on to say that Microsoft told developers to shoot for a 1440p resolution and 60 frames-per-second frame rate with Project Lockhart and 4K/60 with Project Scarlet
Project Lockhart will primarily see use as a digital gateway for both Microsoft’s game-streaming service, Project xCloud, and its Xbox Game Pass service. From what we know, it will sit below Series X and be a less powerful but more affordable.
