Microsoft has opened pre-orders for the upcoming 4K console, which the company describes as “the world’s most powerful console”.
The Xbox One X was officially unveiled in June, and will come out on 7 November.
It costs £449, and is claimed to be 40 per cent more powerful than any other console on the market.
You can pre-order it from a number of stores right now, including Amazon, Microsoft, Argos and GAME.
Microsoft has also launched a special version of the Xbox One X, called the Project Scorpio Edition.
Project Scorpio was the One X’s codename, and the company wants it to “live on” and enable fans “to celebrate both our heritage and the power and precision that we are bringing into our future”.
It’s exactly the same as the standard Xbox One X, but the words “Project Scorpio” are printed on both the console and the controller, and it comes with an exclusive vertical stand. It also costs £449.
Microsoft says over 100 new and existing games will be enhanced to take advantage of the Xbox One X's full power, but the highly anticipated Crackdown 3 has been delayed until next year.
