The next-gen consoles coming out this year has had us giddy with excitement. Unfortunately, the calamitous public health crisis struck our planet to derail all plans. While Microsoft kept us updated on their plans as much as they could, Sony was happy to keep mum. Soon murmurs began ranging from a delay in PlayStation 5 to a possible change in launch plans. moreover, a Bloomberg report also suggested that Sony would have to drastically alter their launch plans due to the high production cost of the console units. Despite all this, Sony did not go beyond letting up that PS5 was on schedule.

A few days back Sony’s CEO assured investors that the console giants had compelling lineup ready to be announced “soon.” And now, renowned video game journalist, Jason Schreier, has reported in his Bloomberg column [https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-05-27/sony-is-said-to-plan-ps5-conference-for-as-early-as-next-week?srnd=technology-vp] that Sony plans to make reveals soon. In fact, the report claims the digital event could take place “as early as next week.” For now, the event is planned for June 3, but that could change given the uncertain times we are living in at the moment.

Let’s hope we get something substantial about the next-gen rig. It is about time we had something to hold on to when t comes to PlayStation 5. Especially given the Xbox Series X has given us quite a few meaty details and gameplay reveals. Earlier in May, Microsoft’s showcase event, ‘Inside Xbox’ showed us 13 gameplays. However, the consensus about the event was one of disappointment. Let’s hope PS5’s event fares better. Keep watching this space as we keep you updated on any news regarding the PS5 event. 

Sony has kept us waiting and wondering over news and announcements over their
next gen console in PS5. A Bloomberg report says it is not far away.

<h2>Xbox Series X 2021: Specifications, Price, Compatibility, Accessories, and Games</h2>

The Xbox Series X is Microsoft's next-gen console and is also the most powerful and fastest Xbox console to date. It belongs to the fourth generation of Microsoft's Xbox console family and is the successor of Xbox One, released in 2013.

Series X is the epitome of Microsoft's technological prowess, packed with immense computing and graphical power. A low-end variant dubbed the Xbox Series S was unveiled in September 2020.

While the Series S is comparable in basic hardware to Series X, it lacks the Ultra HD Blu-ray optical drive, the raw processing power, and some specs of the high-end variant. The other difference between both of Microsoft's next-gen consoles is the price point.
<h2>Xbox Series X Price</h2>
Microsoft announced the price of the console a day after they had officially announced the Series S console in September 2020. Take a look at the prices of both the next-gen variants below:

<h2>Xbox Series X Expandable Storage</h2>
The Series X console is compatible with a standard standalone hard drive, and it supports products with the Designed for Xbox badge. It will allow players to have had additional storage options apart from the custom NVM Express SSD.

For the best experience, the proprietary 1TB Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Series X plugs into the console's back via the dedicated storage expansion port and replicates the console?s custom SSD experience, providing additional game storage at the same performance.

A 2 TB version for Seagate Storage Expansion Card is planned later. Series X is also built with support for USB 3.1 external HDD. Both the options for expandable storage will be sold separately. These standalone products are not included in the console bundle.
<h2>Xbox Series X Accessories</h2>
Microsoft's next-gen console will ship with an updated version of the Xbox Wireless Controller, Ultra High-Speed HDMI cable, and power cord. Users can add standalone purchases of Xbox Game Pass and the Seagate Storage Expansion Card for the Series X console for the complete experience.
<h2>Xbox Series X Backwards Compatibility</h2>
Microsoft has stated that Series X is backward compatible with thousands of games across four generations of the Xbox console family. The next-gen console will support all games playable on Xbox One, excluding those requiring the Kinect sensor.

It includes all those Xbox 360 and original Xbox console games currently supported through backward compatibility on the Xbox One console.

Moreover, with the Smart Delivery program, you buy a game once and get the best version of that game for the console you?re playing on.

To play a backward-compatible game, insert the disc or search your library and select the game you want to play.
<h2>Xbox Series X Release Date</h2>
Microsoft has announced that the release date for Xbox Series X at participating retailers worldwide is November 10, 2020.
