An image of what is supposedly a box containing Xbox Series X controllers has a warning label that reads: "Do not sell or display before November 6, 2020."

There have been hints of a second gaming machine in development, which was supported by official documents leaked in June.

Microsoft's latest update about Project xCloud reveals several third-party accessories that have been awarded the Designed for Xbox rating.

This was hinted at by a recently published PS5 patent from the Japanese gaming firm wherein it details an unannounced feature.

To recall, shortly after the debut of the Xbox Series X, Microsoft assured gamers that they will not be left behind when it comes to software.

Even though the Xbox One X was practically the more powerful console based on technical specifications, it failed to meet sales targets.

Gamers with an active Xbox Game Pass subscription can download it for free, while those who do not, can purchase it for $9.99 on Steam or the Microsoft Store.

What likely hinted the development of more than one game system was the leaked benchmark results from AMD in 2019.

With beefier processors alongside more powerful computing capabilities, next-generation systems are expected to run hotter than before.

With only one installment from the genre-defining franchise released for the current-generation systems, gamers evidently demanded more.

According to a Turkish retailer called Hepsiburada, it noted that the hardware is backwards compatible beyond the PS4.

Microsoft already assured consumers that its console will support games for the Xbox One, Xbox 360, and even the first-generation Xbox.

Xbox marketing executive Aaron Greenberg confirmed in a Twitter post that the online event is dedicated to the company's "global developers partners."

For every 1,000 points that are donated by Xbox One players, Microsoft will reportedly match it with a dollar of its own for the CDC Foundation for COVID-19.

As the coronavirus pandemic continues, it is likely that the trend will continue just in time for the launch of the next-generation systems.

Canadian company Play N Trade Vancouver Island is now accepting pre-orders for the PlayStation 5 and it recently posted the price on its Facebook page.

According to AMD, the hacker was able to collect test files for a collection of current and upcoming hardware for graphics.

While the new Xbox appears focused primarily on performance and raw power, the upcoming PlayStation is all about innovative experiences.

While the public was expecting a more traditional PS5 reveal presentation, Sony once again opted for an odd approach not many appreciated.

Along with the full reveal, Microsoft showcased a one TB SSD expansion card that connects to the expansion port at the back.

The Xbox Series X packs a custom octa-core AMD Zen 2 CPU and an AMD RDNA 2 GPU capable of 12 teraflops and 52 compute units – each clocking in at 1.825 GHz.

Amid the health scare, the undermanned factories in China will not be able to meet the supply targets for international markets.

The base model of the PS5 will max out at nine teraflops, while the high-end version will match or exceed that of the Xbox Series X.

According to the GameStop pre-registration page, the PS5 should be on par with the Xbox Series X when it comes to performance, but with a small caveat.

The Xbox Series X can suspend up to five games and hold on to those save states even after a system reboot.

Those who have Xbox Game Pass subscriptions will benefit from Smart Delivery with the graphical and performance upgrades it brings to the table.

The news comes directly from the manufacturer, published on Xbox Wire, it discusses some interesting tidbits about the Xbox Series X.

What this means for gamers is that the Xbox Series X might ship not only with the latest hardware that can handle advanced graphics and reduce load times.

Just before 2019 ended, there was a massive leak that allegedly uncovered the technical specifications of each next-generation game system.

Phil Spencer revealed that longtime Xbox marketing executive Aaron Greenberg will oversee the preparations for E3 2020.
