Microsoft also announced a bit of the Xbox Series X launch lineup. The current XSX launch lineup includes:
Gears Tactics Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Yakuza 7 Dirt 5 Watch Dogs Legion
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla saw its release date moved up from November 17 for Xbox, possibly to make up for no Halo Infinite at launch, and will release on PlayStation 5 whenever Sony’s next-gen system releases, which we suspect will be around the same time.
Watch Dogs Legion releases for current-gen platforms on October 29, with free upgrades offered for next-gen versions.
Microsoft also announced EA Play is coming to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass for no additional cost.
The Xbox Series X is billed as the most powerful next-gen console. Here’s the console’s spec list as a refresher.
While the Xbox Series S doesn’t have a disc drive and is technically the less powerful of the two systems, Microsoft said the primary difference between the two is 4K support. Otherwise, the XSS can do everything else the XSX can do. Stay tuned to GameSkinny for more next-gen Xbox news as it develops.
