The protagonists of Xbox also remind of the upgrade in the form of 4K-ready Xbox One X. The advice of anticipating the upcoming Xbox version with a pinch of salt has fallen in deaf ears. The fans are all ears and can’t wait for the big day to arrive soon.
The enthusiasm is apparent, leaks about the possible specifications of Xbox Two are pouring in from every nook and corner of the World Wide Web.
The Insider’s Speculations
Thurrott, the site which we can count upon as a Microsoft insider has made it public. The successor of Xbox One is in full swing and has received codenames.
It comes under the project “Scarlett” Thurrot further added, Microsoft is referring to this as the “Anaconda” model as “Scarlett Pro” and “Lockhart” as “Scarlett Arcade.” There are some other names like “Danta,” “Roma,” “Anthem” etc. are there too. It seems, there are too many names to deal with, and it can create some confusion.
Precisely, the “Anaconda” console is likely to become the successor of the Xbox One X, and the “Lockhart” will take over as the next generation Xbox One S. All the other codenames will most likely be used for the “xCloud department.”
Continuing with the statement released by Thurrott, around November 2020 the Xbox Two consoles will make their appearance. Again, this is not the official date of release, but an expected date, considering the previous versions of Microsoft. Thurrott also advised the fans not to be too optimistic about the date as the launch can be delayed.
So, all eyes on the E3 event which is slated to happen with a month, as already mentioned, the absence of Sony, and no competition from PlayStation either, Microsoft is all set to dominate the gaming console market. The hype and hula surrounding the releases is a clear indication of this.
For the time being the speculations on the latest Xbox Two consoles are high, but Microsoft remains tight-lipped, and there is no information on how they will look and the kind of games they will support. Anticipation is high; gaming aficionados expect to play 4K HDR games in it.
