Fast ahead a few years and the brand new, gorgeous-looking next-gen model will quickly be with us.
We do worry a bit for a way it will really work in case you are packing an Xbox Series S.

We have waited a very long time for this sequel. If you had been to level a finger on the unique it would solely be to say that it was a bit of forward of the know-how that was out there to it. Now with extra grunt behind the Xbox and extra succesful GPUs in our PCs, we expect one thing particular.
