SAN FRANCISCO, May 6 ― Microsoft's gaming division, Xbox, is to hold a series of showcase presentations each month starting in May and leading up to late 2020's Xbox Series X console release. Beginning with May 7's episode of Inside Xbox, available from 8am PST through Xbox's accounts on Mixer, Twitch, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, Microsoft will showcase various aspects of the Xbox Series X console era.
That's an important factor for Xbox, given the priority placed upon Series X compatibility with Xbox One and even Xbox 360 games.The series provides a closer look at Xbox One and Series X games after an initial focus on hardware and product design, while a teaser for the show appears to reveal a 10-second audiovisual treatment for the Series X.
Omitting talk of June's sophomore episode, which would replace Xbox's presence at the cancelled Electronic Entertainment Expo, the announcement also outlines a July episode which previews several titles being developed by Xbox's internal studios.
