“Xbox Series X will be released on time, but games may linger” – review

Head of the gaming division Microsoft Phil Spencer gave a new interview to the channel CNBCin which he said that regarding the release of new games there may be some delay.

According to Spencer, the Xbox Series X should still be on time – despite the fact that the developers had to adapt to quarantine.

The team is doing very well with scheduled equipment support, and we, in general, are not moving away from the original plan.

A much bigger problem, in his opinion, could be the production of new games.

To be honest, I would say that the most questions arise regarding the production of games.

According to Spencer, the creation of such projects has now become quite a large-scale activity, in which hundreds of people participate.

Now most of the developers work from home, which is why production conditions are becoming somewhat limited. Spencer noted that in this regard, everyone is learning something new every day.

I still have a good feeling about this, but I also need to make sure that team security remains the most important priority.

According to Spencer, in the current conditions, one should not put undue pressure on the authors simply in order to release an unprepared product on a specified date.
