Phew! Microsoft's E3 press conference was a jam-packed event as the industry giant showed off 42 games in total on the keynote stage, 22 of them Xbox exclusives.
But the biggest show stopper of them all was this: Xbox One X was unveiled as the official name of Project Scorpio. The 4K-ready console launches on November 7 and will cost $499.
With some truly remarkable specs - like a 6 TFlop GPU, 12GB GDDR5 memory, and 326GB/s memory bandwidth - plus support for original Xbox games thanks to backwards compatibility, the Xbox One X is sure to be one of the holiday's most sought-after gifts.
We got a chance to see the Xbox One X in action ourselves, and you can read our early hands on impressions right here.
Of course, there has to be games to go with all that processing power, and Microsoft didn't disappoint on that front, either. The company gave us a heart-racing first look at Forza 7 in 4K and unveiled ancient Egypt as the setting for the (highly leaked) Assassin's Creed Origins.
The 4K fun didn't stop there as Sea of Thieves got a full high-resolution gameplay walkthrough, and Crackdown 3, out November 7, showed its stuff in an action-packed official 4K trailer.
Microsoft gave us an even more detailed look at Middle Earth: Shadow of Warand
Anthem, one of the biggest surprises of E3 so far. It also revealed Cuphead is
finally releasing on September 29, and Minecraft is getting a free 4K upgrade later this year (you know, as a nod to the Xbox One X).
