Halo 5

Halo has always been Microsoft’s main focus in the games space. It led the original console to success, and has served as a console seller for every subsequent box. Now, with the Xbox One X officially on shelves, the latest Halo game has also been given a boost. Halo 5 is the best looking game in the series, and one of the best looking games on the platform, now its gameplay and graphics are at their peak, showing us what the next generation of Halo could look like. The game struggled to reach a full 1080p resolution on the original Xbox One but now it can reach native 4K at a blistering 60fps.

The Xbox One X is just a few days away. More titles are beginning to receive updates to support the console (if not information on the enhancements they’ll offer) and we know that there will be a substantial number to play. To generate hype even further, Xbox boss Phil Spencer took to Twitter to talk about his final pre-launch review of Xbox One X Enhanced games.

Spencer said the results were “really stunning” and thanked all the development teams for their hard work. He also noted that the list of supported titles keeps growing so we’ll likely hear more about them soon.

The Xbox One X is purportedly the most powerful console ever, at least for Microsoft. It’s designed to run Xbox One games in 4K resolution while offering improved performance for normal 1080p screens. It will retail for $499 and launch on November 7th worldwide. Time will tell just how successful it ends up being.
