Xbox fans have spent the past couple of years soaking up rumors, leaks, and all manner of things concerning the next generation of Xbox consoles. Now, though, we finally have some solid information, thanks to a reveal trailer showcased during The Game Awards 2019 ceremony earlier tonight.
In the trailer we get our first real look at the final design for the Xbox Series X, which is the official name for what we’ve been calling Project Scarlett up to this point. The design is a bit offputting for some, though I’m personally a fan of the more tower-like design. In an official post shared on the Xbox website, we were able to learn a bit more about the upcoming console which is still slated for a Holiday 2020 release date.
Xbox writes, “Xbox Series X will be our fastest, most powerful console ever and set a new bar for performance, speed and compatibility, allowing you to bring your gaming legacy, thousands of games from three generations and more forward with you.” Over the past couple of years, Microsoft has worked hard to bring several games from previous Xbox generations to the Xbox One, and this won’t stop as we prepare for the inevitable release of Xbox Series X. It looks like the company is going to remain dedicated to compatibility, which is something many fans will be happy to learn.
On top of this, the new design also appears to support both vertical and horizontal layouts, with the blog post stating, “We also designed Xbox Series X to support both vertical and horizontal orientation. It’s bold and unique, very much like our fans around the world and the team of collaborators and innovators who built it.”
