Microsoft will release its latest gaming console, Xbox Series X, towards the end of the year. As of now, most of the features of this console (especially hardware) are official. However, there are still a couple of things that we do not know about this console. The coronavirus pandemic has affected the schedule of many technology products. Will Microsoft’s latest Xbox Series X game console be affected by this? Xbox head Phil Spencer said in an interview with CNBC that the Xbox Series X console should be delivered on time.
“Overall, I think we will meet our expectations.” Spencer said in an interview, “I want to say that what we don’t know probably relates to game production. After all, game production is a big project that requires hundreds of thousands of people. Thus, it is more likely that some games may delay”
