Inside Xbox announced for April 7th at 2pm PT
- Thread starter Shane M
- Start date
Introducing the Series S makes no sense at all until the Series X and PS5 prices are both announced. Imagine how the presentation would go without that important context: "Not only do we have this incredibly powerful console, we also have a weaker one! We can't tell you anything about why that might be a good thing, so stay tuned."
Inside Xbox also acts as a more non hardcore platform than digital foundry. So expect the same stuff but dumber down
I listed three different possibilities, one of which is a game, and said I thought a game was the least likely of those three. And of course it could be nothing.
It was in an edit, nbd.
Yeah could be, but what is the demographic of people watching Inside Xbox who aren't aware of the general next gen news from this month? Idk. But you might be right, I think that would be a bit of a marketing fail from them if so to not keep the momentum going and just rehash some thing that are already known.
Thank you. lol.
-------------------------------------------------
I'm just excited to learn more about the games that they have announced, one of which is Sea of Thieves and being an insider, it's going to be a great update. Looking forward to seeing more of the other games, and GamePass announcements are always welcome.
didn't realize flight simulator was likely coming before it, can't wait for that
Doom Eternal was listed as Gamepass this morning, i know that's super wishful thinking but a man can dream.
I wouldnt if I was MS, much smarter to do it after PS5 price announcement.
I will keep my expectations in check, if only because I expect the digital E3 to be big, especially for partners. Interestingly, with Sony now in the same boat as everyone else, I wonder where partnerships and stuff end up going this time. Regardless, I won't expect too much unannounced hardware stuff. (But maybe... a new feature here or there could be hoped for?)
Don't forget Bloodborne 2 XSX exclusive!
Nice guess, they could talk about "E3" plans here
This is a nice surprise. I like the way xbox are delivering news this year, never too long a gap in between new bits.
Didn't Phil Spenser say in one of his recent interviews that they have so many unannounced games at this point that they have to announce at least new one per new show/conference they do? Or something like that...
He most likely meant big shows like E3, Gamescom, X0, Game Awards, but we never know.
Removing an optical port ain't bringing a Series X down to $399.I'm doubting we are getting Lockhart. At least not this year. Series X is powerful, but beyond its core parts like the APU, Ram, and SSD. There has been a bit of I won't say cost cutting, but cost avoidance. The controller is a basically a carryover. There is no optical port, hdmi in port, or ir port.
At some point the optical port was there, but it was cutout for cost as Phil said in the ign interview. So I'm thinking they are looking for maximum price flexibility all the way down to $399 if needed. Negating the need for a Lockhart.
I think tomorrow might be a good time to announce another Xbox Publishing exclusive. Money on that

Ah yes, the program that proves to be the ass-end of the Direct pantheon.
It pretty much goes Nintendo Direct > State of Play > Inside Xbox, we all agree there, right?

So they went ahead with an April thing after all.
Guess we'll se seeing Elden Ring here then maybe?

That's a fair point. Besides early adopters will probably jump straight to the Series X leaving the S to sit on shelves, much like the Core edition 360 was passed over for the $400 proper model, and the 20GB PS3 was overlooked by the 60GB $600 model.
That said, there is a big thing they could cut from the X's design for the S - the physical disc drive.
What I expect:
Minecraft Dungeons release date
Halo 2 PC release date/info
Outriders info
Psychonauts 2 update
Battletoads

Battletoads
Looking forward to the Sea of Thieves information. Also interested in Grounded.
Will be watching for sure. It's a nice distraction from all the horrible things in the world.

We already have this, May 26th.
I'm expecting dates for both games. Steam release for SoT, could be shadow dropped, who knows and the Game Preview launch date for Grounded. I could see Grounded launching into Game Preview in the next week or so.
Totally agree. Unexpected and would get people talking about Xbox for E3.
Xbox has been killing it with how they've been communicating with us. I'm really excited to see more Grounded. I hope we get a release date.
You know this is gonna happen. I'll be happy if we see a trailer for the new Sea of Thieves content update. More information on Grounded (which I really wish they put a bigger team on, as I really like what they've got going so far. (Sorry RPG fans)) and some Game pass additions would be a good show for me. Everything else is a plus.
