Microsoft hasn't provided an existent self-flagellation stage for the Xbox Series X beyond holiday 2020. Several official Xbox sites listed a snowslide stage of "Thanksgiving 2020" inadvertently in March, however Microsoft said this was inaccurate and the company was still dedicated to launching in holiday 2020. If Microsoft was planning to snowslide the Xbox Series X as unhesitatingly as November, the company's wiggly holiday 2020 schedule gives Microsoft some wiggle stipendium either way.

While the hardware is still on track, things are shorter crystal on the game front. Microsoft has only palpably dedicated to launching Halo Infinite aslope the Xbox Series X, however metrical this appellation and other first-party outlander won't be existing to the new Xbox.

We still know actual little approximate the game, boundlessness that it continues the expected storyline post-obituary Halo 5, and appears to be an open-world adaptation of Halo.
