Which Microsoft video game console was released in 2013?

The Microsoft video game console released in 2013 was the Xbox One. Microsoft unveiled it on May 21, 2013, presenting it as the successor to the Xbox 360 and as an entertainment-focused system combining games, television, apps, and voice control.

The Xbox One launched on November 22, 2013, in North America, Europe, and Australia. It belonged to the eighth generation of video game consoles and competed mainly with Sony's PlayStation 4 and Nintendo's Wii U. Its original package included a redesigned controller and was closely associated with the Kinect motion and voice-sensing accessory.

A common mix-up is the name “Xbox,” which usually refers either to the broader console brand or Microsoft's first-generation console, released in 2001. The Xbox 360 followed in 2005, while the Xbox Series X and Series S arrived in 2020 as the Xbox One family's successors. The Xbox One itself was later released in slimmer Xbox One S and more powerful Xbox One X versions.
