Xbox might have a similar launch event in the United States of America
The next-gen consoles release on November 10, 2020. New Zealand’s launch event will go live at 11 PM NZDT, and that’s just one hour ahead of the release of the console in the country. Because of a stark difference in time zones, New Zealand’s event won’t have any effect on Xbox’s release in the United States.
However, YouTuber Rand al Thor 19 talks about the possibility of a similar event in the USA on November 9.
