Microsoft confirms the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Xbox Series X is scheduled to launch in November 2020. The announcement coincides with the delay of the company's flagship title, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Halo Infinite.
Microsoft is staying true to the original launch window of holiday 2020 when they first revealed the console at The Game Awards last December. While the global Covid-19 pandemic has slowed down the production of many in🔯 the industry, including what was supposed to be Xbox Series X’s flagship launch title, the console manufacturer assures that theꦗy are on pace for the scheduled launch. The price of the console is still unknown.
Microsoft say🍌s in their mo﷽st recent Xbox Wire article, “There will be thousands of games to play, spanning four generations, when Xbox Series X launches globally this November and over 100 optimized for Xbox Series X titles, built to take full advantage of our most powerful console, are planned for this year.” The statement is intended to reassure consumers that the console will still be worth the purchase, even without Halo Infinite. The article specifically mentions upcoming titles like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and168澳洲幸运5开奖网: Yakuza: Like a Dragon, saying that these games will be fꦬully optimized for the Xbox🍌 Series X. Regardless, the lack of a major first-party title hurts the appeal of a new console.
The announcement comes days after the leaks of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Xbox Series S. Microsoft has yeꦗt to announce the sister console. Previous leaks claimed the Series S will be a budget version of the Series X. The lack of the announcement shows that Microsoft is fully committed to the Series X’s launch this November and does not want to cannibalize their own product.
Ironically, the head of Xbox, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Phil Spencer, said on an IGN podcast, “I don't think we would hold the launch of the platform for any individual game.” This was back in April 2020. Spencer made it clear that the company would be prepared for a potential delay. Unfortunately for the company, the potential delay be🌄came reality, and Microsoft is forced to launch a new console without the mascot of the company. The company can only hope the delay will not drastically affect the early sales of the new consoles.
