Which Xbox console was the first to include an HDMI port?

The Xbox 360 was the first Xbox console to include an HDMI port.

Microsoft added HDMI output to the Xbox 360 after the system’s original launch configurations. HDMI carried digital high-definition video and audio through one cable, making it easier to connect the console to modern televisions and home-theater receivers.

Not every early Xbox 360 unit had the port. The feature appeared on later revisions, including the Xbox 360 Elite, while the original launch hardware used other video connections. This timing is why descriptions of the Xbox 360 can differ depending on the specific model.

The Xbox One later made HDMI central to its entertainment-oriented design, including an HDMI input for passing television signals through the console. That later feature should not be confused with the Xbox 360’s HDMI output.
