The Xbox One X is an upgraded version of the Xbox One. It was released on Nov. 7, and has been dubbed as "the world's most powerful game console." At the moment, no exclusive games are coming to the console, but older games from previous consoles are being upgraded for the console.

Whether the Xbox One X will live up to the hype is yet to be seen, but improvements have been made to the console's processing and graphics systems, allowing games to run in 4K resolution. Considering the console is still new, it will most likely take a few days before reviews are made by fans and tech enthusiasts across the globe.

According to Telegraph UK, Microsoft mentioned that games coming to the Xbox One X would also be coming to the older Xbox consoles. Their goal is to reach the widest audience possible, so owners of older Xbox consoles can rest assured, knowing that while they might not be able to play new games in the same High Definition state as Xbox One X owners, they will still have access to brand new games as well.

Titles that are being improved for the newest console are  "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt," a fantasy action roleplaying game that puts players into the shoes of Geralt of Rivia and "Mirrors Edge," an action platforming game that follows Catalyst Faith as she fights for freedom in the City of Glass. Other big AAA titles like "Assassins Crees: Origins," "Gears of War 4," and "Rise of the Tomb Raider" are also included.

Games from past generation consoles include "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion" and "Fallout 3."

The list of games coming out on the Xbox One X is still quite limited, but a handful of well-known titles are already making the transition, and it's only a matter of time before more games become playable on the new console.
