The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, collectively known as the Xbox Series X|S, comprise a family of video game consoles developed and distributed by Microsoft, succeeding the Xbox One family of systems. Launched in November 2020, the Xbox Series X|S compete directly with Sony's PlayStation 5 as part of the ninth generation of video gaming hardware.
As the fourth generation of consoles in Microsoft's Xbox line, the Series X|S sport vastly upgraded hardware capable of hardware-accelerated ray tracing, spatial audio, support for Automatic High Dynamic Range (HDR) using machine learning to convert compatible games to higher resolutions, HDMI 2.1 variable refresh rate (VRR), auto low-latency for faster input response from controllers, and solid state drives equipped on each console, capable of accomplishing substantially faster load times than preceding consoles. The Xbox Series X and S also introduced an updated iteration of the Xbox Wireless Controller, which is ergonomically improved upon from the prior version with sculpted grips, rounded triggers and a concave-style directional pad. The new controller also introduces a "Share" button for capturing screenshots and recording video of real-time gameplay.
While all of these features are included without compromise on the Xbox Series X, the Xbox Series S pares down several of them to accommodate for its lessened technical capability relative to the Series X. It is unable to display games at native 4K (3840x2160) resolution, only being able to render between resolutions at 1080p Full HD (FHD) and 1440p Quad HD (QHD), at a maximum performance metric of 120 frames-per-second (FPS). The Series S also lacks an optical disc drive for physical game media unlike the Series X, meaning it only supports digital game purchases made off of the Microsoft Store. Both consoles are backwards-compatible with an extensive library of legacy titles from the original Xbox up to the Xbox One, with the new generation of consoles building on the existing program for older titles by introducing "FPS Boost", a selection of curated titles from Microsoft which have been updated and patched to run at higher resolutions and framerates when played on the new hardware.

Xbox One X/Series X|S Enhanced titles[]
With the introduction of Microsoft's Backwards Compatibility program in 2017 alongside the release of the Xbox One X console, the publisher also unveiled a slate of curated "Enhanced" games from prior Xbox consoles, that have been optimized by either Microsoft or third-party developers to utilize the full technical capabilities of newer, up-to-date Xbox hardware, such as outputting games at native 4K (3840x2160) resolution or stabilizing framerates for games with previously uneven performance when played on their original hardware. This initiative was expanded upon with the "FPS Boost" program, exclusive to Xbox Series X|S. Titles supported with FPS Boost by Microsoft have had their performance metrics increased from their original 30 frames-per-second when played on native hardware, to anywhere between 60 and 120 frames-per-second when played on Series X|S through Backwards Compatibility.[1][2]
