We received our first look at what boxes for Xbox Series X Smart Delivery games might look like a couple of days ago following the release of placeholder art for Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Now, Amazon has also showcased the same style of placeholder art for upcoming RPG Scarlet Nexus (thanks Wario64).
As you can see from the images below, we've got two different types of boxes this time - one for the Xbox Series X & Xbox One Smart Delivery version, and a separate box for just the Xbox One version:
It's anyone's guess as to whether the two versions will actually be released separately, as both are priced at $59.99 for pre-order on Amazon. As a result, it's not worth looking too much into this for now, but either way, the Smart Delivery box design certainly lines up with the example we saw the other day.
What do you make of the Xbox Series X placeholder box art design? Let us know in the comments.

If two versions are released, at least there is comfort of knowing that if someone "got the wrong one", he/she will still get the game.
The difference probably will be that the Series X version will have a 100GB disc (for less download) and the standard disc where as the Xbox One version would require more download time on a Series X as it would contain the standard disc.
However, why create the confusion?!
I like the new boxes with Xbox on top and the compatible models below. I don't like the huge rupee logo though.
@GamingFan4Lyf As long as publishers keep publishing games for Xbox One I expect Xbox One boxes to be released even if they are not necessary. I hope that the rupee logo on the cover is ditched.
I like how the Series X version just says Xbox..
It has a tentative release date of December 31, 2021, so it's not going to be a launch title. I'm very anxious to see the final box render. This is so exciting! 😆
@BlueOcean
Not a Zelda fan, I see. 😂
@gingataisen I am a big The Legend of Zelda fan although I think that Breath of the Wild isn't a great game.
That boxart on the left reminded me the new console is literally just "Xbox" and not "Xbox Series X". It's a little weird to see that as the next gen name. In any case, I am not buying any physical games for a while because my oldest of 4 kids is 6. It's just not in the cards for me.
Me when I realize that they're gonna be slapping that stupid rupee on all Series X launch games:
Honestly not a fan of the rupee, it sticks out far too much, like those horrible digital download banners on Switch games or those exclusive content logos on PS4 games
Of course it could be because this cover is rather bland so it could make it stand out more as there isn't anything else to look at
Also have XB1 and Series X games in the same boxes might cause confusion for some
They are really placing the emphasis on smart delivery for the next gen games aren’t they. The Xbox One S and X will be fine because they have the 100GB Blu-ray drive. But what happens if you put one of those series X discs into the original launch Xbox One. Will the smart delivery still work?
@Incarna It's massively overrated considering the lack of music, dungeons, narrative, inventory management, underwhelming characters and DLC and technical issues. It's empty and boring but hey, it's Nintendo so it deserves the 10/10 ratings.
