Far Cry 6 was probably the biggest, most anticipated announcement at the Ubisoft Forward event. The game starring Breaking Bad actor, Giancarlo Esposito, was rumored to be in the making a long time. We finally got to see the cinematic trailer for the same at the event, which has truly excited the fans. Check out the trailer here [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gv1jHiaHafY&t=1s]. With so much excitement around the game, it is bound to perform well. The game will be available for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. But this bit of news will definitely disappoint PlayStation fans. Also Read: Ubisoft Forward: Far Cry 6, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Watch Dogs: Legion, Hyper Scape and More [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ubisoft-forward-far-cry-6-assassins-creed-valhalla-watch-dogs-legion-hyper-scape-and-more-esports-news/] FAR CRY 6 WILL LOOK BETTER ON XBOX In response to a Twitter user’s question, Ubisoft revealed that the game will be available in 4K Ultra HD only for Xbox One and the Xbox Series X. Take a look: This definitely comes as a shock to most because the PS4 Pro supports 4K, and the upcoming PS5 will be able to do that too. There is no clear reason as to why Ubisoft plans to keep this 4K version exclusive to Xbox(or is there!?). The PS5 and Xbox Series X are both powerhouses where Xbox commands a slightly better GPU while the PS5 has a great SSD hardware. But when it comes to the graphics output, both these consoles will be able to run games in 4K high definition. “WELCOME TO YARA” The game’s description reads, “Welcome to Yara, a tropical paradise frozen in time. As the dictator of Yara, Anton Castillo is intent on restoring his nation back to its former glory by any means, with his son, Diego, following in his bloody footsteps. Their oppressive rule has ignited a revolution.” You play as a young rebel Dani Rojas in the quest to liberate your nation. The game will have a campaign mode and an online multiplayer mode with up to 2 players. The cinematic title sequence of the game looks nothing short of a Bond movie. Check it out [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UaWhlkpT7g] The Far Cry 6 title is a AAA game and is expected to do brilliantly in terms of sales. But this particular news may not sit well with the PlayStation community. We’ll have to wait and see if Ubisoft change their mind about the same or stick to their decision. 

Far Cry 6 is Ubisoft's upcoming game which is set to release in 2021. But the
studio's decision regarding Xbox and PlayStation is absolutely shocking

<h2>Xbox Series X 2021: Specifications, Price, Compatibility, Accessories, and Games</h2>

The Xbox Series X is Microsoft's next-gen console and is also the most powerful and fastest Xbox console to date. It belongs to the fourth generation of Microsoft's Xbox console family and is the successor of Xbox One, released in 2013.

Series X is the epitome of Microsoft's technological prowess, packed with immense computing and graphical power. A low-end variant dubbed the Xbox Series S was unveiled in September 2020.

While the Series S is comparable in basic hardware to Series X, it lacks the Ultra HD Blu-ray optical drive, the raw processing power, and some specs of the high-end variant. The other difference between both of Microsoft's next-gen consoles is the price point.
<h2>Xbox Series X Price</h2>
Microsoft announced the price of the console a day after they had officially announced the Series S console in September 2020. Take a look at the prices of both the next-gen variants below:

<h2>Xbox Series X Expandable Storage</h2>
The Series X console is compatible with a standard standalone hard drive, and it supports products with the Designed for Xbox badge. It will allow players to have had additional storage options apart from the custom NVM Express SSD.

For the best experience, the proprietary 1TB Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Series X plugs into the console's back via the dedicated storage expansion port and replicates the console’s custom SSD experience, providing additional game storage at the same performance.

A 2 TB version for Seagate Storage Expansion Card is planned later. Series X is also built with support for USB 3.1 external HDD. Both the options for expandable storage will be sold separately. These standalone products are not included in the console bundle.
<h2>Xbox Series X Accessories</h2>
Microsoft's next-gen console will ship with an updated version of the Xbox Wireless Controller, Ultra High-Speed HDMI cable, and power cord. Users can add standalone purchases of Xbox Game Pass and the Seagate Storage Expansion Card for the Series X console for the complete experience.
<h2>Xbox Series X Backwards Compatibility</h2>
Microsoft has stated that Series X is backward compatible with thousands of games across four generations of the Xbox console family. The next-gen console will support all games playable on Xbox One, excluding those requiring the Kinect sensor.

It includes all those Xbox 360 and original Xbox console games currently supported through backward compatibility on the Xbox One console.

Moreover, with the Smart Delivery program, you buy a game once and get the best version of that game for the console you’re playing on.

To play a backward-compatible game, insert the disc or search your library and select the game you want to play.
<h2>Xbox Series X Release Date</h2>
Microsoft has announced that the release date for Xbox Series X at participating retailers worldwide is November 10, 2020.
