Here’s what you need to know about the next-gen Xbox console and Project xCloud.
Six years after the infamously terrible reveal of the Xbox One, Microsoft has somewhat redeemed itself. At Microsoft’s E3 2019 press conference, Phil Spencer detailed the plans for its upcoming next-gen Xbox console, “Project Scarlett,” a traditional high-end box that will live alongside Microsoft’s “Project xCloud” streaming service. Project xCloud is due later this year, while you’ll need to wait until holiday 2020 for Scarlett, as expected.
Let’s break it down. If you’re curious about the games revealed at Microsoft’s showcase (go.pcworld.com/mse3), we split those out into a separate article, complete with trailers for all the major announcements.
