Xbox One X Launched In India At A Price Of Rs. 44990

Microsoft has launched the Xbox One X in India a few months after its global launch. The new gaming console will be available at a price of Rs. 44990 and will go on sale via Flipkart and Amazon. The Xbox One X will also be available to buy from select offline retail stores like Landmark and Croma.

Each Xbox One X will ship with a 14-day Xbox Live Gold trial along with a month of Xbox Game Pass subscription trial. Talking at the launch, Priyadarshi Mohapatra, country general manager, Consumer & Devices Sales, Microsoft India said:

We are delighted to offer gamers the world’s most powerful console with access to the largest and most diverse games lineup in Xbox history, including Forza Motorsport 7, Assassin’s Creed: Origins, Cuphead and Super Lucky’s Tale, out of more than 1,300 titles and more than 220 exclusives available on the Xbox One X, just a few short months after the device’s global launch.

The Xbox One X is a mid-cycle Xbox refresh from Microsoft but, has enough horsepower under the hood to grant it the label of being the most powerful gaming console in the world. Since the new console runs on the Scorpio engine, it is backwards compatible to run all 900px and 1080px Xbox one and 360 titles at upscaled 4K. Which means all existing Xbox One titles should look better on the Xbox One X due to enhanced visual fidelity, anisotropic filtering, and faster loading times. The new console will also work with all current Xbox One accessories, Microsoft has confirmed.

Xbox vs PS is the gaming version of iOS vs Android and this debate will not fizzle out anytime soon. The Xbox One X has whopping 6 teraflops of graphical power while the PS4 Pro ships with 4.2 teraflops of graphical power. The Xbox One X also has a built-in UHD Blu-ray drive and although PS4 Pro supports 4K, it does not include a UHD Blu-ray drive. It is worth noting that the PS4 Pro is priced at Rs. 38990.
