Xbox Series X launch month seems confirmed by Microsoft's CFO

We've known for some time that Microsoft plans to launch Xbox Series X during "Holiday 2020," but we might have our best indication of when the console will arrive. Responding to a question from Bloomberg's Dina Bass during an investor call, Microsoft CFO Amy Hood confirmed that Microsoft's small power tower was "still on track" for a November launch. . When Bass was pressed for clarification on Twitter about whether Hood specifically mentioned the Xbox Series X, Bass said that she specifically asked about a "new console" and replied "November vacation." ", to which Hood replied" yes ".

It was in response to a question from me and I said "new console" and "November vacation." His answer was the only word "yes". July 22, 2020 A November date wouldn't be a surprise, but unless it's a miscommunication, it seems to reduce the console's release window.

On the same call, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella also said that "Xbox Series X will launch this fall with the largest lineup of any console." With the Xbox Series X being backwards compatible with all Xbox One, Xbox 360, and original Xbox games, there's no doubt that the new console won't have a huge library of games to play at launch. A November release wouldn't be too surprising for the Xbox Series X. Microsoft historically released its new console in November, but there were rumors that the company was originally eyeing an August release date. However, this goal did not materialize due to the impact of Covid-19. Microsoft is set to showcase a range of exclusive games at today's Xbox Games Showcase event, including the highly anticipated Halo Infinite.
