Could be, didn't they use to do information releases on Monday? I believe the console spec release on Xbox Wire was also on a Monday, and there are probably some other examples too.

Yup, full specs were released on Monday, they confirmed Series X was RDNA 2 on a Monday (Feb 24th) as well. As for this announcement, I'm expecting it to drop at 5am PST or 6am PST.

Awesome thread. Hopefully, it can be my new home.

Ask me about my fanboy energy!
Since this is a next gen "Xbox OT" not just Series X, it also includes xCloud and ofcourse the PC Xbox store. So, I will put Age of Empires 4 under Worlds Edge in the game list post.

The future of gaming has never been more inspiring. Creativity in games is flourishing. New services empower you to discover more games—and bring you closer to the games and creators and streamers you love. The cloud creates a massive opportunity to stream console-quality games and play with the people you want, wherever you want. And for many of us, nothing is more inspiring than the dawn of a new console generation.

Re-engineered inside out
As we enter a new generation of console gaming with the Xbox Series X, hardware and software innovations enable the amazing possibilities for the future of games.
Designed for speed and performance
The Xbox Velocity Architecture unlocks new speed & performance capabilities through the groundbreaking combination of hardware, a custom 1TB SSD & CPU and deep software integration, to make for richer and more dynamic living worlds unlike anything ever seen before.

Play more, wait less
A new feature powered by the technical capabilities and the innovative Xbox Velocity Architecture in Xbox Series X, Quick Resume enables players to seamlessly switch between multiple titles and resume instantly from where you last left off.
Gamers will experience more time playing and less time waiting as loading times will be greatly decreased thanks to the processing power of Xbox Series X.
The most powerful console ever
Xbox Series X is our most powerful console ever, powered by our custom designed processor leveraging AMD's latest Zen 2 and RDNA 2 architectures.
The new system on a chip (SOC) has been built from the ground up for speed and performance, with 12 teraflops of processing power and with compatibility in mind for four generations of games.
Delivering unparalleled graphical fidelity
The three air-flow channels evenly distribute the temperatures generated by the advanced internal components, keeping the console cool and quiet.
The innovative parallel cooling architecture allows for stunning game experiences with incredible graphical fidelity and performance.
Split motherboard
For the first time ever on console, an innovative split motherboard keeps the Xbox Series X internals evenly temperature controlled, allowing for the console to output more power.
Heat-sink chassis
A heat sink is a non-electronic, passive mechanical component that has a vital role in the reliability and performance of the Xbox Series X and is integrated directly into the chassis of the console. This unique component of the parallel cooling architecture helps lend to the distinctive design of the console.
Vapour chamber
The vapour chamber in the Xbox Series X enables evenly spread temperatures with the core and memory.
Whisper-quiet fan
As part of the parallel cooling architecture, the whisper-quiet fan keeps the Xbox Series X internal components cool without disturbing your gameplay.
More storage without compromise
The Xbox Series X Storage Expansion Card provides additional game storage at peak speed and performance by replicating the console's internal custom SSD experience. The 1TB card is inserted directly into the back of the console via the dedicated storage expansion port.
Meet the new Xbox Wireless Controller
Experience the modernised design of the Xbox Wireless Controller, featuring sculpted surfaces and refined geometry for enhanced comfort during gameplay. Stay on target with textured grip and a hybrid D-pad; capture and share content seamlessly while you play; and quickly pair with, play on, and switch between supported consoles, PCs and mobile devices.
Real Time Hardware Accelerated DirectX Ray Tracing
From improved lighting, shadows and reflections as well as more realistic acoustics and spatial audio, raytracing enables developers to create more physically accurate worlds. For the very first time in a game console, Xbox Series X includes support for high performance, hardware accelerated raytracing. Xbox Series X uses a custom-designed GPU leveraging the latest innovation from our partners at AMD and built in collaboration with the same team who developed DirectX Raytracing. Developers will be able to deliver incredibly immersive visual and audio experiences using the same techniques on PC and beyond.

Machine Learning
Xbox Series X supports Machine Learning for games with DirectML, a component of DirectX. DirectML leverages unprecedented hardware performance in a console, benefiting from over 24 TFLOPS of 16-bit float performance and over 97 TOPS (trillion operations per second) of 4-bit integer performance on Xbox Series X. Machine Learning can improve a wide range of areas, such as making NPCs much smarter, providing vastly more lifelike animation, and greatly improving visual quality.
Hardware Accelerated Audio
Spatial Audio delivers deeply immersive audio which enables the player to more accurately pinpoint objects in a 3D play space. With full support for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Windows Sonic, Xbox Series X has custom audio hardware to offload audio processing from the CPU, dramatically improving the accessibility, quality and performance of these immersive experiences.

Project Acoustics
Incubated over a decade by Microsoft Research, Project Acoustics accurately models sound propagation physics in mixed reality and games, employed by many AAA experiences today. It is unique in simulating wave effects like diffraction in complex scene geometries without straining CPU, enabling a much more immersive and lifelike auditory experience. Plug-in support for both the Unity and Unreal game engines empower the sound designer with expressive controls to mold reality. Developers will be able to easily leverage Project Acoustics with Xbox Series X through the addition of a new custom audio hardware block.

For my part, I await news of the Initiative and I want to see their project.

Cause right now there is not so many game appealing me.

I really hope the BC team goes back to making more XB/XB360 games backwards compatible once the Series X has been released.

I think BC section is a given, they have been strongly pushing it in the past years/shows, BC is one of their pillar strategy right now, so I don't see a single reason for them to slow down, especially if the rumors suggesting 4K+60FPS+HDR for BC titles are indeed true, MS would surely be proud to announce that.

I have been mainly PS4 current gen, had an OG X1 for a few years early on, then end of last year got an X1X with 3 years of cheap GamePass. My plan was PS5 at launch and XSX a year or so later. I'm now thinking why not both at launch? I think the differences in approach they are taking, from hardware, games and services, are making them quite complimentary.
MS have impressed me with the efforts they have made on building a bigger and more diverse first party stable, and obviously GamePass helps greatly with that too.

What games is everyone expecting/hoping to see at the July event and which of those do think will be available at launch?
I'm expecting to see:
Halo - of course
Everwild
Fable
Psychonauts
Gears Tactics
Flight Sim 2020
One of the Forzas
More Hellblade - PLEASE
DLC for Outer Worlds
Something from The Initiative
At launch I KNOW we have Halo plus I expect Everwild, Gears Tactics - Xbox edition, one of the Forza games, Outerworlds DLC and maybe Flight Sim.
I think we are going to have a very good launch line up compared to other gens. Do we know if any of the 3rd party exclusives are launch game? If yes even better.

I'm hoping for a new Fable, Perfect Dark, Conker, and an announcement saying they bought out exclusivity for Goodbye Volcano High.

That would nicely compliment Xbox exclusive, Don't Nod's upcoming SJW opus, Tell Me Why. Xbox would surely win the gen with that lineup.

Nice work Op. Exciting times!

I think seeing Halo, Everwild, Fable, FM8, Hellblade. Guessing we'll see Grounded as well. Feature wise, I'd like to see the auto HDR stuff in action. Would be good to see Compulsion and Initiative as well.
Titles that would be available day one and make me really sit up and maybe move would be Halo, FM8 and Fable. Anything else would be a bonus.

An AoE announced for Xbox would be awesome. Never played any of them and I love Civilization and strategy games.

Anyone think the Mass Effect remaster could be shown here? It was originally an Xbox exclusive, after all. And I found its absence at the EA show very odd.
I’d ask about Elden Ring too but god knows what’s going on with that game.

Jeff Strain working on a MMO. I really wish the creator of Guild Wars put all the resources from Microsoft into making a MMO. The other one would be Mistwalker working on a new JRPG for Xbox with JP Games.

Nah. EA is probably pulling a Nintendo with the Metroid Prime Trilogy. Waiting for a proper reveal of the next installment before announcing/releasing a remaster collection

This stuff - is this an MS thing? Where you can upload a save from Valhalla from the XsX and then continue playing from the same save on xCloud?
