Phil Spencer said Xbox Series X production is where Microsoft thought it would be. Games production, however, remains an unknown at this point
Following Microsoft’s record-breaking Xbox Live and Xbox Game Pass engagement announced during the Q3 2020 report, Head of Gaming Phil Spencer appeared on CNBC’s Squawk Alley morning business news program, where he discussed the impact of COVID-19 on Xbox Series X production. The executive admitted the bigger unknown may be games production, rather than console production.
This reinforces the previous hint that Microsoft won’t delay the launch of the Xbox Series X for any game, not even Halo Infinite, which so far is the only confirmed first-party game due to release alongside the console (though we also expect a Forza Motorsport game from Turn 10 to be announced in the coming months and possibly released in that timeframe).
