On the official website, Microsoft briefly listed a release date for the new console Xbox Series X. According to this, the console was supposed to be released in November 2020.
Update 9:00 PM: As the Director of Programming at Microsoft, Larry Hryb, announced via Twitter, the emergence of the news on Thanksgiving was an error. The current status remains that Holiday 2020 is the target.
An Xbox product page in some regions inaccurately listed the launch date for Xbox Series X as Thanksgiving 2020. We are committed to launching Holiday 2020

Let’s continue with the original announcement
When will the Xbox Series X be released? On the official website for the new console, Microsoft published new details about the next-gen console Xbox Series X. Among them, the release date.
The console is expected to be released on Thanksgiving, specifically on November 26, 2020.
In addition, many details about the controller were revealed, which we will present to you in the article.
Why is the date particularly exciting? For both consoles from Microsoft and Sony, it has been common for them to be released in November. However, some experts speculated that the release could happen earlier due to backward compatibility.
This seems not to have been the case for the Xbox Series X. It will now be interesting to see whether Sony will schedule the PS5 release before the new Xbox. Strategically, this could provide advantages in sales.
Additionally, there was a major livestream today discussing new information about the PS5. However, Sony did not announce a release date. Microsoft is now gaining more attention.
When can you pre-order the console? So far, there is no information on pre-orders or the price. However, we will update the news accordingly as soon as such information is available.
New Details about the Controller
What does Microsoft reveal about the controller? The new controller has been slightly adjusted in geometry to provide more comfort while gaming.
The size has only been slightly reduced, and a few “quality of life” improvements have been added. The controller is intended to feel familiar to previous models but still be slightly different.
The glossy surfaces in the previous version will be matte on the new controller, thus matching the look of the console.
