Anticipation for theXbox Series Xis mounting with fans looking forward to a powerful console that continues the legacy of the franchise. While many have been impressed by thespecifications of the Xbox Series X, some fans are still wondering about what games will come to the console and which titles will be exclusives. The event that was set to answer these questions was originally set to be in July but the event that preceded it currently looks to be taking place in the same month, prompting more questions about the plans of Xbox.
Reports have surfaced that theXbox 20/20 June event would be delayed by two monthsand take place in August. but the Manager of Xbox Games Marketing, Aaron Greenberg, has now responded to the claims. It seems that the event is facing a delay and the PlayStation event that is scheduled for June 11 will reveal games before its competition. With that said, Xbox fans will not have to wait too long for the reveal of more information.

Aaron Greenberg has confirmed that the event will now take place in July and while this is not a huge delay some players have been concerned about how this bump will affect the overall roadmap for the console. It will be interesting to see if this delay has a knock-on effect on the marketing of the console and whether it will package the planned July game announcements with the news that was set to arrive in June. Either way, this upcoming event in July will likely be one of the most important announcement presentations in the build-up to theXbox Series X. This is because of the opportunity for the next-generation console to address the criticism the Xbox One received for having a lack of exclusives.

Some Twitter users are claiming that this is another PR mistake as the events were meant to come monthly and are referencing the misinformation around theAssassin’s Creed Valhallathat hampered the last Xbox event in May. Other users are being harsher and accusing Xbox of canceling the event as there was fear that it would be overshadowed by the PlayStation 5 digital event which is set to take place this month.
It is unclear why Xbox has had to move this event and it will likely be a mystery unless this is a marketing strategy that results in a great deal of success. Many will now be interested to see how the delayed Xbox event compares to the upcomingPlayStation 5 game reveals.
