“So pumped to see our partners showing us the first look at Xbox Series X gameplay next week,” says Aaron Greenberg, general manager of Xbox games marketing. “Also know the Xbox Game Studios teams are hard at work on some big summer plans. More details soon!” We’ll likely see more of Microsoft’s own Xbox Series X game plans in June, around the time E3 was supposed to be held.
“You want to see games for the Xbox Series X? We want to show you games for the Xbox Series X,” Microsoft said on Twitter.
