Xbox Two: Everything You Should Know About The Upcoming Microsoft Console

The Xbox One is an iconic console and it marked numerous childhoods. However, that era is coming to an end, as Microsoft is preparing to release Xbox Two. More than that, Sony is also preparing to release the next-generation hardware. This means that their rivalry will continue in the future, and it will be interesting to see who wins the next battle.

Three new consoles

It appears that the next generation of consoles from Microsoft might in fact come with three new consoles. The names for them are Scarlett Arcade “Lockhart”, Scarlett Pro “Anaconda” and Xbox “Maverick”. These are solely the codenames for them, and we don’t know whether Microsoft intends to use them.

We don’t know whether Maverick will be part of the Scarlett family. Opinions differ here. While some reports believe that it will be a Scarlett console, others disagree. However, everyone agrees that the console will be released in 2019. It has also been reported that this console will be the cheapest one out of these three.

Meanwhile, it appears that gamers will have to wait a bit longer for Lockhart and Anaconda. It has been reported that these two consoles will be released just in time for the holiday season in 2020. The Anaconda one is expected to be the most expensive one.

Expect some amazing games

It appears that Microsoft has some big plans when it comes to the game lineup. Microsoft reportedly offers an unlimited budget to game studios in order to create the games of their “wildest dreams”. When asked about the budget this is what Microsoft replied: “I don’t think you understand, that’s not our question, our question is what games do you want to make? We are Microsoft and we have the budget, we just want to know what game you want to do, what are your wildest dreams.”

Xbox Two: Everything You Need to Know About “Scarlett”

We’ve all seen that the Xbox Two got its own codename – Scarlett. Well, Scarlett is supposed to be the next big console from Microsoft, that’s going to be the rival of Sony’s next-gen hardware. Everyone is hyped about Microsoft’s future console and everyone asks the same questions about specs, price and features.

When is the release date?

As per Thurrott, this console will be released in 2020. Some articles said that it will be released on the 15th of November, or even sooner. Also, Sony’s PlayStation 5 is supposed to be released in 2020. However, Tsuyoshi Kodera the CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment said that it would take at least three more years before PlayStation gets released, so it means that PlayStation 5 won’t make its appearance until 2021. We don’t know for sure yet.

What’s the price?

According to Dexerto, the price is supposed to be the same for both of them. Sony will probably put the price tag at $500, so the price should be around that.

What are the specs?

We know this from Dexerto, too – because Xbox Two is expected to be the rival of PS5, so they are probably going to have the same specs. However, it’s been said that the next-gen hardware will run 4K/60fps.

What are the games?

We’ve heard many rumors about this, especially for a certain YouTuber that has a conversation with Vice President Mike Ybarra of Xbox Corporate. The company asked the game studios to make the best game titles. According to a leak on the internet, Microsoft talked to the gaming studios (yes, there are more than 1, both big and small), about bolstering up its line of Windows 10 and Xbox developers.

PS5 and Xbox Two Leaks – Latest Information We Know So Far

The streaming era is slowly the gaming industry. Recent news about the Xbox Two and PlayStation 5 came as a confirmation to the statement above. Even though it is not crystal clear what the developer of the next generation of consoles are planning to implement, we can assume it is going to bring us a discless future soon.

Discless PS5 and Xbox Two?

Michael J. Olson and Yung Kim, some analyst, suggest that, according to VGR, there will be a possibility of discless devices. We might not see any physical media involved with these consoles by 2022. By that, we can assume that no disc feature will be compatible with the consoles by 2022. Another part of this story would be that the Xbox Two and PS5 release will not bring them with disc drives.

If you believed in backward compatibility for the consoles mentioned, you might face some disappointment. Taking into account the fact that the previous models of PlayStation used discs, the old gaming discs will no longer be usable for playing. And if there will be a chance of backward compatibility for the next generation of consoles, as a user you will need to buy those games again in another format.

With that being said, there is a little chance for these consoles to go discless in the near future. This would also affect retailers who have a nificant revenue year by year due to seeling discless consoles.

No more PS4?

PS4 already has a date of death set although we were not provided any information about that. The gaming division president of Sony, John Coder, said that by March 2021 we d no longer be able to purchase the PlayStation 4.

The future of consoles is still to be set so until then we need to settle with what we have.

PlayStation 5 and Xbox Two Comes with Streaming Features and New Changes

With the announcements made by Sony and Microsoft regarding the inclusion of streaming on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Two, many users started wondering if single-player offline gaming is in the future plans of these companies. The gaming giants have already developed their own streaming services, but we do not know yet how important this component of the next platforms will be.

Streaming is the main focus of developers

According to numerous experts, the major shift in the video gaming industry towards streaming may mean that single-player offline gaming will slowly become a thing of the past. The ever growing importance of the internet creates the need amongst developers to constantly improve and expand the online side of their services. This makes us wonder about the future of single-player offline gaming, especially with the increasing use of subscriptions.

Due to the fact that a large part of PS5 and Xbox’s customer base originates from developing countries, known for rather poor service, these two companies will keep the single-player offline games alive, at least for now. It looks like even with the rapid development of streaming, it will take much longer for us to see streaming-only games.

The benefits of streaming

It is predicted that streaming will generate major improvements in the gaming industry. According to Mashable, the processing power of a console will be freed up, and at the same time we will avoid large downloads while updating games.

Google may enter the gaming market

While we wonder about the future of single-player offline gaming, a new player may join the industry. Apparently, Google is preparing the launch of its own console and streaming service, named Yeti. The future could be very interesting with the arrival of Google’s console.

GTA 6, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Two – What Brings Them Together?

Five years ago, Grand Theft Auto V was released. Classified as the most profitable game of all time, the title of RockStar Games continues to be relevant in the market due to the wave of updates released at regular intervals. It also helps to have an online component very well set up.

However, fans of the series are looking forward to getting hold of GTA VI. Rockstar publisher has refrained from making any statement about the subject, but some information from sources close to the company has begun to run over the internet.

The big release still waits

Grand Theft Auto 6 should be released sometime in 2021 – 2022. Although that date seems very distant, it is important to note that in the past, around five years, a new Grand Theft Auto has been built.

During the development period, the same source drew attention to the fact that the game is titled Project Americas. It is only when the launch and online trailer arrives that it will be renamed Grand Theft Auto 6. The action of the future game will be played equally in the United States and South America. Depending on the mission he is trying to do, a player will fly from one side to the other between the two regions of the world. Old Vice City could also embody an important role in the game.

In view of the launch of the title for over 3-4 years, it will be interesting to see which platforms will be supported at the time, if not new consoles.

GTA 6, Xbox Two and PlayStation 5

If GTA 6 needs another 3-4 years to release, that means, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Two probably will be already in the stores. But we don’t know the date Microsoft and Sony will bring up their products on the market.

The new fact in the game will be probably a female protagonist, so the game could attract women too.
