PLAYSTATION 5 & XBOX SERIES X
The next big leap in gaming is coming.
Microsoft is swinging for the digital fences
with the Series X, which promises four
times the processing power of the Xbox
One X, and twice the graphics grunt. The
PS5 is expected to not quite match that for
graphics, but both will support a range of
cutting-edge tech for faster loading speeds
and more realistic effects in everything
from lighting to AI to physics, and there’s
even 8K support. As for pricing, no one
is talking just yet, but rumours suggest
that we’re talking £450 at least for the
PS5 and more for the Series X. High
price won’t hold them back, though – the
world has been waiting for a big jump in
console gaming since the PS4 and Xbox
One came out back in 2013, and these will
absolutely be the hottest things available
at Christmas.3
