A look at the evolution of Xbox One, four years after launch

We take a look at the past four years, with a deeper dive into the growth of Xbox One, and how Microsoft evolved around its console.

On November 22, 2013, Microsoft released the Xbox One. After a rocky unveiling, the company reshaped the device in response to public outrage, ditching its internet requirement and online policies. With a launch lineup lacking some of Microsoft's biggest franchises, and a questionable reliance on the Kinect sensor, the Xbox One had an uncertain future, struggling to gain the traction of the PlayStation 4 (PS4).

Four years later, a lot has changed. The console's operating system (OS) is in a significantly stronger position, several revisions of Xbox hardware are available, and a growing library of games has been established.
