In addition to information about the upcoming Xbox, Microsoft also introduced more than … 60 different games, including Cyberpunk 2077 and Gears 5.
In the early hours of June 10, Microsoft’s press conference in E3 2019 took place in the US. In this press conference, the essential information given is probably Microsoft, confirming the new Xbox system under the code name Project Scarlett. According to Microsoft’s information, the new Xbox will be four times stronger than the current Xbox One X, equipped with SSD for gamers to load games faster and even support 8K, 120 FPS.
“A console should be built and optimized for just one thing: a game,” said Phil Spencer, Microsoft’s Xbox director of operating systems. This is probably the statement that will make gamers feel secure because many people remember when announcing Xbox One, Microsoft only talked about movies, streaming, and other miscellaneous things.
To increase the new Xbox’s attractiveness, Microsoft will release Scarlett at the same time as Halo Infinite in 2020. This is a tactic used by Microsoft when releasing the Xbox in 2001 when Halo helped the new console access many American families worldwide. Besides, Mr. Spencer said that “we have thousands of games being developed on Xbox One and PC.”

Perhaps to illustrate this statement, Microsoft showed off more than 60 games during its event. Among them are 14 games from Microsoft-owned studios, collectively called Xbox Game Studios, and more than 30 games will appear on their Game Pass service. This is a monthly subscription service for PC gamers similar to PS Now and will cost $ 10 / month. When paying this money, you can play all the games in the Game Pass game store and are allowed to unsubscribe at any time. This service will be tested on Sunday, June 16, 2019.
Microsoft also announced some new information about Project xCloud at the event. This is an internet streaming platform similar to Stadia and is a direct competitor of Google. Microsoft said that xCloud would not be a separate platform, but gamers need an Xbox to play mobile devices. They plan to start publicly testing xCloud in the second half of this year.
John Wick appeared in the trailer of Cyberpunk 2077 at E3 2019.
In addition to consoles and streaming services, your readers are also very interested in games. Microsoft’s press conference brought a “shock” information to gamers when Cyberpunk 2077 was introduced with the appearance of John Wick Keanu Reeves. He appeared in front of the main character V (male version) when V was lying flat outside the landfill after a failed mission and made the audience burst out in surprise when he stepped out from behind the chicken wings. You also do not need to wait until 2077 to see Keanu again because Cyberpunk 2077 is set to debut on Steam, GOG, on April 16, 2020. CD Projekt Red will also release the Epic Games Store game, but no exact date has been set.
