Xbox One 12GB RAM upgrade debunked by Microsoft

4.7
Xbox One isn’t getting a RAM upgrade form 8GB to 12GB, Microsoft’s product planning manager Albert Penello has confirmed.

The rumours started after Penello took to NeoGAF to discuss the Xbox One’s specs last month. He wrote, “I would like to pose this question to the audience. There are several months until the consoles launch, and [as] any student of the industry will remember, specs change.

“Given the rumored specs for both systems, can anyone conceive of a circumstance or decision one platform holder could make, where despite the theoretical performance benchmarks of the components, the box that appears “weaker” could actually be more powerful?

“I believe the debate on this could give some light to why we don’t want to engage in a specification debate until both boxes are final and shipping.”

The rumours started to fly, but Penello has now debunked the whole lot on Twitter.

Who knows, Maybe further along the road they will offer an upgrade.

Microsoft say things like that to reel people in, get a short boost in sales, and then they say it's not happening.

-Retro 8 is perfect for gaming 12 is just overkill


No, it would be ready for the future! PCs commonly have 16GB of RAM available (Well gaming ones do!) It helps massively and can take stress off of the CPU and GPU, to an extent of course!


What are you smoking? Common gaming Pc's do not have anywhere close to 16gb of ram. I have an alienware PC which is meant for gaming and it has 8. I can run everthing on high setting.

They would have made it an extra $100

There is no reason to go to 12GB ram because they already have everything working perfectly.

So they just don't really need that much ram. 8 is fine hopefully.

I am fine with what ever as long as the system lasts. I don't want to go through red ring, disk drive problems, and all that stuff again!

8 gigs is fine with me. It's a nice upgrade from what the Xbox has now.

It's still a console, what exactly is a hardware boost going to do? I highly doubt other then the Xbox exclusives, that companies are going to optimize it for the Xbone.

Thats enough
