Boss of Xbox shares that their latest console Project Scarlett which was announced at E3 this year, will not be their last.
Project Scarlett Won’t Be The Last Xbox Console
While companies such as Google are moving into streaming platforms such as Stadia, as well as upcoming xCloud from Microsoft, Xbox is staying the course for their next console currently called Project Scarlett. Both PS5 and Project Scarlett will be the next generation of console, but will it be their last?
According to boss of Xbox, Phil Spencer this might not be the case. Heshared at E3when asked about their plans for the future console “We’re not planning for Scarlett to be our last console.” This doesn’t rule out the idea of it being the last addition, but their intention is to have future entries. Whether it will be upgraded versions like what the Xbox One X is to Xbox One, or whether it will be another generation of consoles is currently unknown.
You might be wondering if this is the case then what about Microsoft’s xCloud launching this year? According to Spencer having xCloud doesn’t mean you wouldn’t have Scarlett and visa versa, it’s more about the variety of choice as well as personal preference:
This statement can be supported by their recent news of bringingXbox Game Pass to PCwhich is now inbeta, xCloud coming later this year and the announcement of Project Scarlett.xCloudcould be seen as them putting their foot in the door for streaming, while still supporting their dedicated gaming console with the announcement of the next-gen console.
Project Scarlettwill release in the holiday period of 2020.
