Xbox Series X would keep its launch window, but its games could be delayed

Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox, reiterated that the coronavirus has not yet affected the plans for the launch of the Xbox Series X.

In an interview with CNBC, Spencer commented that there could still be “some impact” on the plans for the Xbox Series X debut, but that “the teams are doing a very good job of keeping our hardware up and running” and “In general we are in line with what we thought we would be.”

Despite the fact that there is still no official date for the debut of the new Microsoft console, it is expected to debut in late 2020. But although Spencer seems optimistic about reaching that goal, the Xbox boss sets up a question about the titles. that will be available for the new console.

“I would say that the biggest unknown is probably the production of the games”, Spencer pointed out. “Game production is a large-scale entertainment activity now, you have hundreds of people coming together, creating assets, working through creativity. ”

So far, there aren’t many confirmed titles to debut alongside the launch of the Xbox Series X. In fact, Halo Infinite It is still the only known title that will debut the same day on the console. However, that will likely change next week when Microsoft announces the new titles coming to its console.
