Used Game Controversy

Initially, Microsoft had put security features in place that would not let Xbox One games be played on more that one console, effectively eliminating used games. However, when Sony announced the PlayStation 4 would be able to play used games, Microsoft scrapped this plan.

Release

The Xbox One launched on November 22, 2013 for $499. It also came with a Kinect camera. On June 9, 2014, Microsoft released another edition of the Xbox One without the Kinect camera, lowering the price to $399.

Xbox One S

In August 2016, Microsoft released the Xbox One S. The system was a slim, more streamlined version of the Xbox One. It could render games in 4K as well as play 4K Blu-ray discs.

Xbox One X

On November 7, 2017, Microsoft released the Xbox One X. Named "Project Scorpio," the Xbox One X was more powerful that the Xbox One, the Xbox One S, and it's main competitor, the PS4 Pro. It was able to play games in native 4K, as well as enhance some Xbox One titles.

Successor

It was succeeded in 2020 by the Xbox Series X, the PS5 also released in 2020.
