The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are almost upon us, and Microsoft has been amping up the excitement week by week. It’s been a game of cat and mouse with Microsoft and Sony, and the former has been having some fun at the expense of the latter. For example, Xbox UK posted an image (now deleted) of how easy it is to switch the Xbox Series X from vertical to horizontal (via Wccftech).
At the end of the day, you can have the best hardware, but what’s hardware without the games? What can Xbox Series X/S owners expect during launch day? 30 optimized games will be available on day one including Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Watch Dogs: Legion, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Gears Tactics, and Tetris Effect: Connected. 20 of the games will feature Smart Delivery, allowing them to be upgraded for free. Additionally, thousands of games will be playable on the next-gen Xbox consoles thanks to backward compatibility from the Xbox to the Xbox One.
From the launch day until the end of 2020, expect more games to come out including Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War (November 13), Destiny 2: Beyond Light (December 8), The Medium (December 10), and Cyberpunk 2077 (November 19).
