Microsoft's new console combines power and versatility with a very quiet machine, according to Phil Spencer.
Xbox Series X is not going to take off like an airplane, at least when it comes to the sound of the machine. Phil Spencer, head of the Xbox division, explained that despite the power of the console, the new platform will be as quiet as Xbox One X. He has done so in declarations to GamesSpot, where he has described the cooling system and its design .
"What the team has done," he begins, is to opt for "a central fan." According to the head of the company, "what this design does, with the size of the fan" they have built, is to match Xbox One X in terms of noise, all this "with all the power inside the box "
Spencer acknowledges that "there is always a tension between the design, the acoustics, the cooling and the operation of the console", something that they did not want to compromise. "I am incredibly impressed with the design they have outlined," he continues. "If I don't point it out, you just sit and play video games the way you want and I never hear it, just like with Xbox One X." The head of the division has also explained that the console does not have secondary fans.
Microsoft's new console is called Xbox
Although it generated some confusion, Xbox Series X is actually called Xbox simply. The tag points to the machine model, as Redmond plans to launch more devices in the future. It has not been announced when, because officially there is only this hardware, Project Scarlett, but a Microsoft representative confirmed that the choice of the name is because this way you can open the doors to the commercialization of new models.
The Xbox division has bet heavily on their studies, reinforced in recent months with the purchase of several developers such as Ninja Theory or Obsidian Entertainment. The intention is not only to nurture your consoles, but also to offer a more attractive catalog for your service, Xbox Game Pass.
