New Xbox One X Spot Invites You To "Feel True Power"

Microsoft's super-powered console is coming very soon.

291 Comments

The Xbox One X is almost here. Microsoft's new console launches on November 7, and as part of the launch, Microsoft is of course rolling out a marketing campaign. This kicks off this weekend with a campaign in the United States called "Feel True Power."

A TV commercial will air on Sunday, October 22, at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET on the Xbox YouTube channel. The video will also be shown during the Season 8 premiere of AMC's The Walking Dead later that night and also during the Super Bowl 51 rematch between the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons during NBC's Sunday Night Football. A teaser for the spot can be seen below.

"The global campaign is designed to appeal to all gamers, taking the audience on an emotional roller coaster to elicit emotions like awe, excitement, fear, and passion," Microsoft said in a post on the Xbox Wire. "A call for gamers to feel the emotions of gaming in a way they may never have felt before. 'Feel True Power' represents that the experience isn't just about what you see, but also what you feel."

As you see in the teaser, Microsoft is billing the Xbox One X as the "world's most powerful console." Indeed, it is 40 percent more powerful than the PS4 Pro. It doesn't replace the Xbox One S, which will remain on the market and will sell better than the Xbox One X, according to Microsoft. All Xbox One S games play on Xbox One, and your controllers work as well.

The Xbox One X launches on November 7, priced at $500 in the US. Keep checking back with GameSpot for lots more on the system in the days and weeks ahead.

This is the first console I am not going out to buy on day one in a very long time. I mean cool! X1X has power! What I am getting at is, I don't plan on going back and replaying much in 4K on the X1X outside of K.I. and maybe one or two others. Exclusives would have made me jump all over this. I will get one. But not near release day. Anything I really truly play on X1, I already 4k through the PC.

all rants, and shit aside, thing about the xbox is, there's nothing really in the future, cept. yet another halo / gears / horizon, having the ability to play old games doesn't really mean anything to me, it's just a multiplat box really, and my pc does that job. ps4 isn't that much better mind, but between bloodborne, tlou 1&2 god of war, days gone, horizon zero dawn and nioh, there's some serious shit there, games that are great, that inspire other games to try by word of mouth, as opposed to waiting for ubisoft's next open world snorefest or activision's next shitty loot box fps. pc is just shitty indie games, i want stalker 2 damnit.

Jump off your PC with uncapped frames and max settings, and settle for “true power”

@mattsaroni24: Silly statement at best. This is obviously pointed at the console player market.

@7tizz: Yeah and they have a huge surplus, not like they're going anywhere. And they play all the same games as the S, and FAT Xbox...all the games still have the same outcome, same new UI. Just like the Pro the excitement will die off once you see it's nothing that special, but in this case has MUCH less to play on it than PS4. :) I got an S for 199$ at Wally World...perfectly fine with it on my 4K TV. NICE upscaling!!

No point in getting the "most powerful console" if there's just a bunch of crap games to play, it's like having a Ferrari and live in New York. We said it already, just a small percent of players cares about resolution and fps, the rest of us just need awesome games.

@Tidus1012: yes, and that is why I love Xbox. there is no multiplayer like halo. Nothing is even close. I'm loving forza horizon, loved sunset overdrive as well. I'm not very interested in hacks and slash games and Japanese games much. That is why my interest in the PS4 is much lower. I have the switch and I enjoy it mostly for playing on the go. And now that all 3rd party games are better on the X, I see even less sense to get a PS4.

@Tidus1012: Maybe not resolution, but FPS definitely impacts gameplay and is a key part of making a game "awesome".

The Xbox One X is the best option for any gamer that doesn't have a PC. I am predominately a PC gamer and my PC is more powerful than the X, but I still preordered it because it's awesome. It's the most powerful console for sure, but the fact that I can play my 360 library on the Xbox One for free is amazing compared to what I get on PS4. Now they are going to offer original Xbox games too. Couple that with the best online service, the best controller, PC-cross play, and awesome games like Gears of War, Forza, and Halo and it's simply the best in my book. I like my PS4 and I like my Nintendo, but Xbox finally figured out what I've enjoyed about PC for a long time and that's continuity of my games library.

@nikolistary: 20 years ago there was no Xbox. What you are describing is video games. Maybe you need to find a new hobby, bro.

@DARREN636: Yeah, I guess me too. If we're just talking about console games. Thing is, most every game I want to play is also on the Xbox as well. And the PC.

@girlusocrazy: Microsoft is not in the business of selling console. they are in the business of selling software, in other words games. The only reason they need consoles out there is to sell games, and that is why the play anyways makes sense for them. Having steam on xbox make no sense whatsoever. the margings in hardware is too low to justify that move.
