On the occasion of the Xbox Inside scheduled for this Thursday, May 7 at 5 p.m. local time in France, concerning the Xbox Series X and the games shown, Microsoft and Xbox will launch what they call "Xbox 20/20". A marketing trick that you cannot understand. Not immediately. Okay, yes.

In truth I tell you, behind this ultra mysterious title, hides the fact of wanting for the Redmond company, to hold each month until the release of the console I imagine, an appointment concerning its future gaming machine.
About that, Jerret west (CVP, Gaming Marketing) spoke via the Xbox Wire to remind Xbox's main lines of work for 2020, crucial year if any.
This Xbox 20/20 meeting will be an opportunity for Microsoft to reveal more and more about the Xbox Series X, the games from the Xbox Game Studios, the Xbox Game Pass and the xCloud Project, with promises of new products each month. .
Let's give the floor to Jerret west :
The year 2020 was predestined to be unique. For the video game industry, this is one of those exciting years in which we are going to discover a new generation of consoles, the wave of next-gen games that accompanies it and even the arrival of new ways of playing. , with the game in streaming in particular. But 2020 has also become a year of challenge, due to COVID-19. This difficult period makes it possible to highlight the real priorities. For us, it is the health and safety of our employees, our partners and our fans. We are also absolutely committed to transparency vis-à-vis the players in this unique period.
So we had to rethink our plans to celebrate together important milestones in the evolution of video games, since we can no longer all physically gather in the same place. The determination of the Xbox players, their families, their friends to act properly by staying at home so that the situation improves, motivated us to rethink our approach. How can we successfully recreate this craze, this excitement that we all feel in the greatest moments of the industry? How to transcribe and share the feeling that I personally felt when I joined the Xbox team? This moment when I had the chance to see what the future holds for Xbox.
So what do we reserve for 2020?
This is a crucial year for Xbox: our new generation console paves the way for titles that will fuel our existing services. To start, here is an overview of our main lines of work for 2020:
Our goal remains the release of the Xbox Series X and Halo Infinite at the end of the year.
All 15 Xbox Game Studios are working on new generation titles for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Game Pass.
The best development teams in the world have their games ready for release on Xbox Series X at the end of the year.
We want to show PC players that they matter to us by making all of our greatest titles available for release in the Xbox Game Pass for PC, such as Halo Infinite, Wasteland 3, Minecraft Dungeons and of course Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Xbox Game Passes for Console and PC will continue to receive new titles and updates on a regular basis.
The xCloud Project is rolling out in more countries and on new devices, and later this year, the xCloud Project and the Xbox Game Pass will come together to offer you new ways to play with your friends.
