Today 343 Industries announced that they would be delaying Halo Infinite until 2021. To calm the waters about the future of next-generation Xbox, Will Tuttle took to the Xbox Blog to clarify that the console was still coming this year.

Even better, we got a month the console shall release: November.

“There will be thousands of games to play, spanning four generations, when Xbox Series X launches globally this November”

Although this probably doesn’t surprise anyone as November has always been the soft-prediction, it’s nice to know that Xbox does have a release date planned.

Tuttle noted everything that Xbox fans WILL have to play this holiday season.

More than 50 new games planned for this year across generations and optimized for Xbox Series X, including Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Dirt 5, Gears Tactics, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and Watch Dogs: Legion. With Smart Delivery you only have to buy these games once to play the best versions for your console, across generations.

New games developed for Xbox Series X and launching with Xbox Game Pass,including exclusives like The Medium, Scorn, Tetris Effect: Connected, and more.

More than 40 popular games newly optimized to take full advantage of Xbox Series X such as Destiny 2, Forza Horizon 4, Gears 5, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Madden NFL 21, and more.

PlayStation has yet to commit to a month for the PS5, although neither company has been so kind as to release a price for their consoles yet.

It’s expected that both companies announce a solid release date and price for both consoles sometime over the next four weeks.
