We don’t go for the whole console wars thing here at NAG – we’re all about peaceful, multi-platform harmony, see. But I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited for the imminent launch of the Xbox One X. Like, proper excited.
Bethesda is getting into the spirit of things too, by putting together a list of exactly what Xbox One X enhancements we can expect to see from a number of the publisher’s top-tier releases.
“The X is the most powerful Xbox console to date,” says the Bethesda press blurb, in surprisingly gushy form for a third-party publisher. “Continuing to build upon the incredible features – and more importantly, game library – of the Xbox One.”
They’re almost as excited as I am, it seems. Anyway, here’s that list!
