The Xbox One is Microsoft's third video game console in the Xbox series. It was announced in May 2013 and is the successor to the Xbox 360. The console belonged to the eighth generation of video game consoles, where it mainly competed with the Sony PlayStation 4.

Main concept and Multimedia focus

The Xbox One was initially marketed as an "all-in-one entertainment system" , hence the name "One". Microsoft attempted to position it as the central media device in the living room, with a strong focus on TV, movies, and voice control through the included Kinect 2.0 sensor (at the original launch).

Key features

  • x86 architecture: The Xbox One marked a shift away from the PowerPC-based architecture used in the Xbox 360, moving to the AMD APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) built around the x86-64 instruction set, similar to the original Xbox. This made cross-platform game development easier.

  • Blu-ray: The console included a Blu-ray player for movies, as well as Blu-ray-based games.

  • Kinect 2.0: The improved motion and voice control sensor was a big part of the original console, allowing users to control their TV and games via voice commands. However, the requirement to have Kinect included in the original package contributed to a higher launch price, which was later changed.

  • Controllers: The Xbox One controller retained the general design of the 360, but added "Impulse Triggers" – small vibration motors in the shoulder buttons that provided directional haptic feedback.

Revisions and Upgrades

Over the course of its lifespan, the Xbox One was released in several revisions to improve the hardware and meet market needs:

  • Xbox One S (2016): A slimmer and smaller console with internal power (without the bulky external power adapter). It added support for HDR video and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray playback . A digital edition without a disc drive was also released.

  • Xbox One X (2017): A more powerful, high-end model that was marketed as the "world's most powerful console" at launch. It had upgraded hardware to support true 4K resolution in games, as opposed to upscaling.

The Xbox One series was succeeded by the Xbox Series X and Series S in November 2020. Many Xbox One games are backward compatible and can be played on the new Series consoles.
