The next generation of gaming consoles arrive on November 10 with the release of the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S. To celebrate the leap forward to the next generation, Phil Spencer and the rest of the Xbox crew is inviting anyone and everyone to join in via a livestream celebration.

The invite comes via a blog post featured on the Xbox website earlier this morning. In the post, Spencer, the head of Xbox himself, writes,

The livestream, which is set to kick off at 11 a.m. PT on November 10 will be broadcast across multiple sites, including YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook Gaming. Spencer isn’t wrong when he says that November 10 is a big day. Considering that both PlayStation and Xbox are releasing their next-gen consoles roughly two days apart (the PlayStation 5 is releasing on November 12), it’s a really big deal for many gamers around the world.

The livestream celebration will supposedly include all kinds of content, including let’s plays with the creators of big games, and some behind-the-scenes goodies that many may enjoy diving into a bit deeper. We’ll be tuning in during the stream to see what all Xbox has in store, so keep your eyes right here on Shacknews for any updates, possible reveals, or just cool stuff that might come out of this next-gen celebration.
