Common questions on Xbox, surfaced from across the indexed web.

Is the Xbox Series X25 confirmed to use the same internal hardware as the 2020 Series X or does the article suggest any performance changes?

The article states the Xbox Series X25 is apparently running the same hardware under a new shell and says buyers will be paying for a premium look while getting hardware that performs the same as it did in 2020. It notes this is based on reporting and is not a formal confirmation from Microsoft. Answered

Which consoles will receive the Day-1 60 FPS Performance Mode for The Blood of Dawnwalker?

PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X will receive the Day-1 60 FPS Performance Mode for The Blood of Dawnwalker. Xbox Series S will not get the 60 FPS mode and stays locked to a single 30 FPS target.

Due to fan backlash, The Blood of Dawnwalker will now get a 60 FPS performance mode through a Day-1 patch
Will the PS5 Pro version have different visual enhancements compared to the base PS5 in the new Performance Mode?

Yes. The primary article states that PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X will each get a Performance mode targeting 60 FPS, and that PS5 Pro also gets extra visual enhancements compared to the base PS5.

Due to fan backlash, The Blood of Dawnwalker will now get a 60 FPS performance mode through a Day-1 patch
What reasons does the article give for higher console prices in 2026, such as the Series X25’s premium?

The article cites Microsoft raising Xbox hardware prices repeatedly over the past year and a broader industry memory and storage shortage that has pushed component costs up, with datacenter demand for RAM and NAND squeezing supply for consumer hardware like consoles and GPUs. It also notes the X25 commands a premium largely for its limited-edition translucent shell and looks, despite running the same hardware as the standard Series X, meaning buyers pay more for the appearance rather than improved performance.
