The new Xbox Series X/S won’t be available until November 10, but various pre-order customers have already received the new Microsoft console. But what happens if you start the device now? Is that even allowed, or could you get in trouble? We at MeinMMO give you the answer.
What is the situation with the deliveries of the Xbox Series X/S? The official release date for the new Microsoft consoles Xbox Series S/X is actually November 10, 2020. However, some lucky customers have already received their console beforehand. This was because sellers in some cases simply shipped the devices too early.
But is it okay to start the console before the official launch? Because there could be legal issues if you start it before the release. Will Microsoft then have the police on your tail? And does the console even work yet, or is the infrastructure still offline?
Microsoft officially says “Start the console and start gaming!”
This is the official statement from Microsoft: Since such early deliveries were relatively numerous, Microsoft recently issued an official statement.
According to them, it is perfectly fine for Microsoft if you use your early-delivered console now: “Start the console and start gaming” is the phrase of the hour. So enjoy with a clear conscience the gaming experience of the Xbox Series S/X. However, Microsoft admits that you should expect various updates before the launch, which may interrupt the gameplay.

However, if no updates are currently running, you can probably play on the console now without any problems and without the risk of trouble. But most of you probably don’t have a console yet and often don’t have the ability to pre-order one.
