Xbox One X news: Microsoft just gave fans ANOTHER reason to invest in new console

Microsoft has just given fans another reason to invest in a brand new  X.

With the Xbox One X release date just a few weeks away, Microsoft has unveiled a new range of Xbox Design Lab custom controllers.

The new designs have been created by YouTubers and Twitch streamers such as SeaPeeKay, MissEllaCronin, George Benson, Arekkz and the Xbox On team.

The attractive Xbox One controllers can be purchased from the Microsoft website, where they are available from £69.99.

They feature custom bumper buttons, d-pads, thumbsticks, backs and bodies, although fans can tweak colour schemes if they want to alter a design.

You can take a look the new controllers in the gallery below…

Microsoft has also increased the number of Xbox One X enhanced games.

The Xbox One X now boasts over 150 enhanced games, although not all improvements will be available at launch.

“The Xbox One X Enhanced logo means the developer has done extra work to optimise for Xbox One X,” reads a Microsoft blog post. “This may include higher resolutions, faster framerates and/or improved textures.”

Games improved for Xbox One X include Assassin’s Creed Origins, The Evil Within 2, Gears of War 4 and Forza Motorsport 7.

Microsoft’s impressive new console has a November 7 release date and a £449 price tag in the UK.

The CPU is said to be 30% faster than that of the original Xbox One, while the GPU is 4.6 times more powerful than its predecessor.

Interestingly, the 8GB of memory – which is up from the 5GB found in the original Xbox One – allows the console to process art assets, making it easier to run 4K resolution visuals at higher speeds.

  • CPU Eight custom x86 cores clocked at 2.3GHz
