Xbox Series X Announced for Holiday 2020

Christmas came early for Xbox fans this year. During The Game Awards on Thursday, Microsoft announced their next-generation system: Xbox Series X. Here’s a quick breakdown of everything we already know.

Formerly known as Project Scarlett

First, we have confirmation of the “Xbox Series X” name. Previously, this console was known only by the codename “Project Scarlett.” Unfortunately, the official name series very similar to the Xbox One X, which may confuse gamers (and parents of gamers) when it releases.

Release date: Holiday 2020

Speaking of the release, Microsoft has confirmed that the system will come out in the 2020 holiday season. Considering that the PlayStation 5 is also launching in that timeframe, it looks like we’re heading towards a next-generation console war to see which system ends up under more Christmas trees.
