Xbox has detailed new information about its plans for the rest of the year, and has provided an update about timing windows for the Xbox Series X and highly-anticipated launch title Halo Infinite, suggesting that both are still on track for later this year.
For now, the company says its goal is still to launch the Xbox Series X and Halo Infinite this Holiday as previously intended. That's all that's been said for the time being, although Microsoft has also confirmed that first-look gameplay of some first-party Xbox Game Studios titles (possibly including Halo Infinite) will be shared in July.
Additionally, the company indicated that all 15 Xbox Game Studios teams are currently working on next-generation games for Xbox Series X and Xbox Game Pass, and in a separate note, stated that "the best development teams around the world are working hard to have their games ready to play on Xbox Series X this holiday."
Do you think both the Xbox Series X and Halo Infinite will still make a 2020 release? Tell us in the comments.

Nice to hear! My plan is to get the XSX along with Halo: Infinite and Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, which contrasts nicely from when I got the PS4 on launch day with Killzone: Shadow Fall and Assassin's Creed: Black Flag.
Halo was my favorite franchise when Bungie made the games but haven't been impressed with 343's work on the series to this point so I'm not holding out much hope. However, it'd be nice if they get it right this time. I don't usually buy more than one game at launch and it'd be cool to walk out of the store with a Series X and copy of Halo Infinite as opposed to a third party multiplat. I miss the days when getting a new entry in this series was a big deal. The Halo 3 launch I attended was one of the coolest events.
@Gamer83 I remember Halo 2 making headlines for the amount of money it made from launch day sales. I think it made more than whatever big Hollywood blockbuster came out around the same time.

Yeah, Halo 2 was a smash hit. The hype was out of this world. I was in college at the time and everybody in the dorm, even the guys who didn't have Xbox, or really didn't play video games that much, were excited.
