In a world without the COVID-19 [https://www.who.int/health-topics/coronavirus] pandemic, us gamers would be gearing up for an avalanche of reveals and announcements. More so than most years given it is a next-gen console year. Unfortunately, but rightfully, the biggest reveal showcases like E3, Gamescom, and others have been canceled. However, with PS5 and Xbox Series X still on course for launch in the latter half of the year, announcements are starting trickle. Studios are just coming up with their own methods of making these announcements. In fact, we are getting something of an elaborate spectacle when it comes to one such game. PS5 AND XBOX TITLE TO GIVE NEWS VIA VIDEO SERIES Outriders is confirmed for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Windows PC, and is scheduled to release in December 2020. The game, developed by People Can Fly and published by Square Enix, is a third-person action RPG set on a planet called Enoch. Also Read– Best Selling Consoles of All Time [https://www.essentiallysports.com/best-selling-consoles-of-all-time-sony-microsoft-nintendo-atari-sega-game-boy-playstation-xbox-esports-news/] Thew game looks enticing, sure, but so do many others in their reveal trailers. However, the fact that Square Enix is behind the title bodes well, at least in my opinion. The creative director at People Can Fly, Bartek Kmita, opened up on trying out different avenues for making announcements since most conventions are canceled. “With the cancellation of some of gaming’s biggest events of the year, we’ve looked for new ways to share news about Outriders with players.” The developers have announced that we will get news, updates, and an in-depth look at the game soon. This will start with a monthly video series called Outriders Broadcast. The first episode is titled Built for the Core. It will take a look at the gameplay, characters, abilities, and RPG elements featuring in the game. It will air on May 28, on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyHurXEuoMCfah2bmyRRXZw]. Take a look at the teaser for the upcoming video series. Outriders Broadcast will also feature commentary from the development team. So be sure to tune in to the first episode and see what the game is all about for yourself. 

The upcoming game confirmed for PS5 and Xbox Series X will start announcing news
and giving in-depth details of the title via a video series on YouTube.

<h2>Xbox Series X 2021: Specifications, Price, Compatibility, Accessories, and Games</h2>

The Xbox Series X is Microsoft's next-gen console and is also the most powerful and fastest Xbox console to date. It belongs to the fourth generation of Microsoft's Xbox console family and is the successor of Xbox One, released in 2013.

Series X is the epitome of Microsoft's technological prowess, packed with immense computing and graphical power. A low-end variant dubbed the Xbox Series S was unveiled in September 2020.

While the Series S is comparable in basic hardware to Series X, it lacks the Ultra HD Blu-ray optical drive, the raw processing power, and some specs of the high-end variant. The other difference between both of Microsoft's next-gen consoles is the price point.
<h2>Xbox Series X Price</h2>
Microsoft announced the price of the console a day after they had officially announced the Series S console in September 2020. Take a look at the prices of both the next-gen variants below:

<h2>Xbox Series X Expandable Storage</h2>
The Series X console is compatible with a standard standalone hard drive, and it supports products with the Designed for Xbox badge. It will allow players to have had additional storage options apart from the custom NVM Express SSD.

For the best experience, the proprietary 1TB Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Series X plugs into the console's back via the dedicated storage expansion port and replicates the console’s custom SSD experience, providing additional game storage at the same performance.

A 2 TB version for Seagate Storage Expansion Card is planned later. Series X is also built with support for USB 3.1 external HDD. Both the options for expandable storage will be sold separately. These standalone products are not included in the console bundle.
<h2>Xbox Series X Accessories</h2>
Microsoft's next-gen console will ship with an updated version of the Xbox Wireless Controller, Ultra High-Speed HDMI cable, and power cord. Users can add standalone purchases of Xbox Game Pass and the Seagate Storage Expansion Card for the Series X console for the complete experience.
<h2>Xbox Series X Backwards Compatibility</h2>
Microsoft has stated that Series X is backward compatible with thousands of games across four generations of the Xbox console family. The next-gen console will support all games playable on Xbox One, excluding those requiring the Kinect sensor.

It includes all those Xbox 360 and original Xbox console games currently supported through backward compatibility on the Xbox One console.

Moreover, with the Smart Delivery program, you buy a game once and get the best version of that game for the console you’re playing on.

To play a backward-compatible game, insert the disc or search your library and select the game you want to play.
<h2>Xbox Series X Release Date</h2>
Microsoft has announced that the release date for Xbox Series X at participating retailers worldwide is November 10, 2020.
