On May 7, Microsoft will finally show the first gameplay of the new Xbox Series X. Various partners are expected to present their games on the next-gen console.
What kind of event is this? Microsoft is hosting a special “Inside Xbox” livestream on May 7 at 5:00 PM German time. The focus will be on the first games and gameplay of the Xbox Series X.
The event will showcase games from various partners, as Aaron Greenberg, the manager of Xbox Games Marketing, revealed via Twitter. Own titles like Halo: Infinite are not expected to be on the program.
One game featured is the new Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, as Ubisoft announced via Twitter. They will present the first gameplay trailer for the new adventure.
Which studios and games will be shown otherwise is not yet known.
Further plans for the summer: In his tweet, Aaron Greenberg mentioned that Microsoft will soon present more details about their plans for the summer.
These are likely to include additional livestreams and events that would have taken place in conjunction with major shows like E3 and Gamescom, which were cancelled in 2020.
Will the Xbox be ahead this time?
How are the gamers reacting to the upcoming event? The announcement has sparked many positive reactions on Twitter. Some relate to the ongoing battle between Sony and Microsoft consoles. For example, Twitter user DanielElenio writes:
- “PlayStation, you lost the console war early this year.”
He refers to Ubisoft’s announcement of the gameplay trailer for Valhalla. But overall, it’s looking good for the new Xbox Series X. It impresses on paper with more teraflops. A “trump card” could also be the console’s price.
The PS5, however, impresses with a powerful SSD that significantly outperforms the one in the Xbox Series X.
Will the Xbox win this time? Yet even in the previous generation, the PS4 significantly outperformed the Xbox One in sales figures. Will it be different this time?
Our readers on MeinMMO remain loyal to Sony despite the lower specs, as a survey showed.
