Microsoft just announced that they will reveal some hot new Xbox Series X information every single month up through the release of the console. Well, I'm assuming it's leading up right through to the release of the console since the last we knew, the next-gen Xbox and PlayStation consoles are supposed to be out by the end of the year.
This monthly news push begins on May 7 with the upcoming Inside Xbox gameplay special. This push to have new reveals every month is being called "Xbox 20/20" from Microsoft themselves. I guess that's a play on 20/20 vision and the year 2020. I can't imagine it means there are 20 reveals. That would be silly because there aren't 20 months remaining in the year, though it'll probably feel like there are.
Inside Xbox for May 7 will be viewable on Mixer, Twitch, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube for a 4K stream.
For the Xbox 20/20 May update, we will focus on giving you a first look at next-gen gameplay, trailers and sneak peeks from a wide variety of publishing partners and independent developers across the globe and industry, including Ubisoft’s recently announced Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and hear from game creators about what they’re doing with their games on Xbox Series X.
We’ll be confirming games that utilize our new Smart Delivery feature, which ensures that you always play the best version of the games you own for your console, across generations. And all the games you’ll see will be Xbox Series X Optimized, meaning they are built to take advantage of the powerful Xbox Series X features that make games look and feel incredible, including 4K resolution at up to 120 frames per second, DirectStorage, hardware-accelerated DirectX raytracing, super-fast load times and much more.
