Split motherboard

For the first time ever on console, an innovative split motherboard keeps the Xbox Series X internals evenly temperature controlled, allowing for the console to output more power.

Heat-sink chassis

A heat sink is a non-electronic, passive mechanical component that has a vital role in the reliability and performance of the Xbox Series X and is integrated directly into the chassis of the console. This unique component of the parallel cooling architecture helps lend to the distinctive design of the console.

Vapor chamber

The vapor chamber in the Xbox Series X enables evenly spread temperatures with the core and memory.

Whisper-quiet fan

As part of the parallel cooling architecture, the whisper-quiet fan keeps the Xbox Series X internal components cool without disturbing your gameplay.

More storage without compromise

The Xbox Series X Storage Expansion Card provides additional game storage at peak speed and performance by replicating the console’s internal custom SSD experience. The 1TB card is inserted directly into the back of the console via the dedicated storage expansion port.

As for our next official look at the Xbox Series X, we’re expecting it this coming June, where Microsoft confirmed that it was doing a digital presentation.
