In a stream, Microsoft will showcase first gameplay of the Xbox Series X. However, the PS5 could also play an important role in the stream. MeinMMO explains why PS5 fans should watch Microsoft’s stream.
What kind of stream is this? Microsoft is hosting a special “Inside Xbox” livestream on May 7 at 5:00 PM German time. The focus will be on first games and the gameplay of the Xbox Series X. The stream was announced via Twitter:
Why is the stream important? Major events like E3 and Gamescom are canceled in 2020, at least in their original form. This makes such streams even more interesting for the public. Because here new games and new hardware can be presented.
Update: Microsoft has now showcased 13 games in the Xbox Inside stream. We have summarized the most important information for you:
Xbox Series X Stream is also important for the PlayStation 5
Why will it be interesting for the PS5? Games like the recently shown Lord of the Rings: Gollum will be released across multiple platforms:
- These so-called cross-platform titles usually differ very little graphically. So we will see for the first time what the graphics of the next-gen could look like.
- Xbox Series X and PS5 use similar hardware. The event will demonstrate with a powerful title like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla how strong the new consoles really are.
In this respect, we will see a PS5 game for the first time, even though it is not played on the PS5. However, the performance will likely be hardly worse on the PS5 than on the Xbox Series X. MeinMMO has taken a look at how much the performance of the new consoles would cost as a PC:
Xbox Series X and PS5: Price and Release still unknown
How much the Xbox Series X and the PS5 will cost is still unknown, as well as when the two consoles will be officially released. A survey about the PS5 already showed how important the price could be for the future of the consoles, and how much you would be willing to pay for the PS5 and Xbox Series X.
However, while we now know a lot about the Xbox Series X from Microsoft, Sony reveals rather little. Besides the now known specs, we at least already know the PS5 controller. We have summarized all important information about the PS5 “Dualsense” controller for you.
