It's all been happening so far today - the Xbox Series S leaked all over the internet early this morning, leading to Microsoft officially announcing the console (and its low, low price) a few hours later.
Following this, Xbox global product marketing handler Marty Hess took to Twitter to address the challenges of revealing the system in the middle of the night, teasing more big news in the process:
"If you think announcing a next-gen console in the middle of the night due to leaks is wild, just imagine what else we have cooking…"
Following this, The Verge editor and industry insider Tom Warren confirmed that "lots more Xbox news" is on the way, and that "September is a big month" for the brand, although he didn't get into specifics.
It remains to be seen what Microsoft has in store for us, although an official unveiling of the Xbox Series S's features, along with a price for the Xbox Series X are likely on the way very soon. And beyond that, we're hoping to hear about some reportedly big Xbox Game Pass news and the official start of pre-orders for both consoles.
It's all heating up now!
Let us know what big news you're hoping to see from Microsoft in September below.

Ohhhhh I WONDER WHAT IT IS.
besides price, obviously.
Still hoping free MP is part of the run up to release.
Dayum just steal the show. 💚
Microsoft to confirm cure for Coronavirus.
Start the pre-orders
Pretty crazy that the only reason we got official info today was those leaks, otherwise the game of chicken would've continued on even longer.
Now that the game of chicken with Sony is over, just unleash the news Microsoft.
Microsoft has the most powerful console & the cheapest console. Now do free Xbox Live & show us what The Initiative is working on!
Hell yeah, Show us the goods.
Just. Do. It. All. Ready!
Everything is getting leaked to hell and its screwing the momentum.
Holy cow Sony and Microsoft just reveal it, this is Mario 35th all over again
Sony "won" the chicken game for the third time this year,
1. Console reveal
2. Specifications reveal
3. Price reveal
You can't underestimate Sony's stubbornness. As for the news, I expect Series X price and pre-orders.

Stubbornness & arrogance. Sony is a notoriously arrogant company. I know because I had a PS3 and a Vita. 😂
Sony doesn’t get enough blame for discarding the Vita like a dead animal carcass by the side of the road after only like 2 years. Microsoft would have been killed for doing something like that.
All PlayStation has to squawk about now is their precious “exclusives”. That’s all you hear from the Ponies is about their “exclusives”. They don’t have power. They don’t have price. Their services are completely lacking when compared to Xbox.
And after Microsoft showed off tons of great 1st party exclusives coming to XSX in their July show, that tired narrative will get squashed too.
And for any Ponies who want to say that Xbox has no exclusives bc of PC.....well, with PlayStation exclusives coming to PC now....where will the Xbox hate narrative go next? 😂
....With 60 days til launch, per-HAPS the time for teasing news has passed? how about, oh i don't know....just putting your damn cards on the table already? this stopped being fun MONTHS ago...
