The Xbox Series X is the next addition to Microsoft’s long line of consoles. It has been deemed to be superior when compared to the PS5. This is considering the GPU and CPU performance. But, we are yet to hear from Microsoft regarding the price and the release date for its next-gen console. So far the rumors suggest that the console is set for a Holiday 2020 launch. Well, looks like rumors are true. Dina Bass, Reporter for Bloomberg says that the console is set for a November 2020 release. Check it out Senior Editor for Verge, Tom Warren replied to this tweet saying This is a valid question by Tom considering Dina’s tweet could imply ‘Xbox’ as the Xbox Series X, Xbox Lockhart, or even the xCloud Service. Dina hasn’t responded to the tweet (yet). That’s one part of the story. In other news, we might have an answer to Tom’s question but from a different source altogether. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/microsoft-to-launch-xbox-feature-with-new-samsung-phone-esports-news/] MICROSOFT ACCIDENTALLY REVEALS XBOX SERIES X LAUNCH DATE Popular Xbox news YouTuber Rand al Thor 19 reveals in a video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5hpCXSOoP0&feature=youtu.be] how the release date may be connected to ‘Yakuza: Like a Dragon’. According to the Xbox blog [https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2020/05/07/yakuza-like-a-dragon-day-one-launch-xbox-series-x/], the game is supposed to be a ‘launch’ title for the Xbox Series X. Jonathon Stebel, Communications Manager Sega of America wrote “Yakuza: Like a Dragon, an explosive new entry point in the acclaimed Yakuza series, will be releasing as a launch title on the next-gen Xbox Series X, with simultaneous releases on Xbox One and Windows 10 PC.” You can pre-order this game from the Xbox Live store as of now. November 12th, 2020 is the game’s release date. Since this game is a ‘launch title’, it implies that it will be launched along with the console. This could be an accidental reveal by Microsoft. It is also possible that they have given out the release date for Series X. If you club this with Dina’s tweet, this makes even more sense because both of them mention a possible November launch. In other news, the Xbox Live event is almost upon us and we will catch a glimpse of Halo: Infinite at the event. There are going to be tons of other announcements at the event along with a few surprises as well(hopefully!). Keep watching this space for more updates. 

Microsoft may have accidentally revealed the release date for its upcoming
next-gen console the Xbox Series X. Check out the details here.

<h2>Xbox Series X 2021: Specifications, Price, Compatibility, Accessories, and Games</h2>
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-407634" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201012013227/XboxSeriesXHERO-6.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" />

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:
<ol>
 	<li>The Series X console is priced at $499/£449 /€499 /A$749.</li>
 	<li>The Series S console is priced at $299/£249/€299/A$499.</li>

<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.
