Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox, has commented that although plans for the launch of Xbox Series X later this year are going just as expected, cannot say the same, yet, about the titles that will accompany the console during its launch, since they are not entirely clear that some of the games of their own production are going to be ready by then due to the multiple difficulties that are being finding to work remotely because of COVID-19.
Employee safety is paramount to Spencer and Microsoft
"I say it over and over again, the safety of our equipment is the most important"Spencer commented." The teams are doing a very good job of getting the hardware development on track, though I would say the biggest unknown is related to the production of the games. Game production is a large-scale activity today: You have hundreds of people working together, building elements and working creatively. "
"When it comes to hardware, we have the feeling that everything is going according to our plans. Obviously we have had some setbacks on the calendar, but in general terms, I think that everything goes as planned. "
Things will not be forced in the event that the development of the games is delayed by the pandemic
"As for game production, we are learning every day. I think everything is fine, but I have to ensure the safety of our teams and I will not force things when they are not ready yet."Spencer concluded, explaining that not much has yet been said about what we can expect for the launch of the console when it comes to gaming.
Anyway, It won't be long before we learn more about the first games that will come to Xbox Series X
