If controllers are a bit too imprecise for your liking, Xbox One X does support keyboard and mouse controls for some games ( Gears 5, The Sims 4 and Metro Exodus as a few examples). You can't fix what isn't broken, apparently. To the surprise of no one, the console does not see the return of the original Xbox One's Kinect port – if you haven’t heard, Kinect (Microsoft's motion-sensing camera) has been officially dead for a long time, and Microsoft has even stopped selling the adaptors that allowed it to work on modern consoles.Ĭontroller-wise the new machine is packing a darker gamepad which, for all intents and purposes, is exactly the same mechanically as the one that currently ships with the Xbox One S. From left to right you’ve got a power connector, HDMI out, HDMI in, two USB ports, an IR out, an Optical Audio port and an Ethernet port. Round the back, similarities to the One S continue.

This might sound mundane if you’re not totally up-to-date on what 4K Blu-rays are, but considering that Microsoft’s 4K consoles were the only ones on the market with that ability until the PS5 and Xbox Series X launched, it’s worth pointing out. The aforementioned disc tray not only plays the best Xbox One games, but 4K Blu-rays as well.

A small shift in the location of the disc drive is the biggest design difference between the X and the S.
