Microsoft just hit reset on its gaming identity, and in a way, it feels like going back to basics. Because “Microsoft Gaming” is out, and Xbox is officially back at the center of everything.
Why is Microsoft ditching “Microsoft Gaming” for Xbox again?
In a recent internal shift, Microsoft has rebranded its entire gaming division back to Xbox, effectively dropping the “Microsoft Gaming” label altogether.
Microsoft revealed the technical specifications of its next generation video game console, the Xbox Series X, in a Monday blog post. Although pricing is still unknown, Microsoft said the Series X is coming this holiday season and has several new features that would give it a leg up over older consoles.
The Series X will be capable of running 4K graphics at 60 to 120 frames per second, meaning that game graphics should display clear details and games will appear smooth even during action-packed scenes.
If you’re thinking about selling your Xbox One because a new release is imminent, you may not want to unplug it from your TV just yet.
A new report from Thurrott, a tech blog that’s previously leaked accurate information about unannounced Microsoft products, claims the next Xbox won’t arrive until 2020. The site also obtained details on next-gen Microsoft Surface devices, including when a new Surface Pro will be launched.
