The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are now officially one month out from release. To mark this occasion, Microsoft earlier this week launched its first commercial for the next generation.
According to Xbox's senior marketing manager, Josh Munsee, there's "more to come" in the final four weeks leading up to launch - including global activations, activities and content. Here's a little insight into what is on the way:
While he didn't go into specifics, we do know Microsoft is opening registrations for an all-digital version of "Xbox FanFest" on 12th October.
Earlier this week, GM of Xbox Games Marketing Aaron Greenberg also mentioned how Microsoft would be sharing more details on Xbox Series launch titles and next-gen gameplay later this month.

Yes yes bring it on 💚🙌💚
That’s great to hear and creates console awareness.
But with both camps spending all this money advertising etc now when there is no stock of them to preorder / buy.
I guess it’s just the crazy world of consumerism.
Games to play day one for me on series x.
Assassins creed vanhalla
Cyber Punk, 19/11
Doom External
Forza horizon 4
COD maybe not sure.
Yes I noticed the halo infinite point of sale stand in a shop the other day selling monster. Seemed a bit odd seeing as the game’s been delayed but it’s still marketing awareness I suppose.

I'd rather play Doom Internal, to be honest Seriously though, I can't wait to get my XSX, Game Pass and Cyberpunk 2077 all within 10 days. It's like early Christmas this year for me
I hope they focus more on the S. Thinking of buying that for my kids so want more info and stuff
I'm glad, I still think it needs more to really get it over the line as a worthwhile purchase for the here and now.
It is clearly a very capable piece of kit but with very little in the way of brand new and exclusive content up to the end of the year this feels like more of a straight hardware upgrade of an old machine rather than a new generation of consoles to me, kind of like upgrading a graphics card.
I'm sure the future is bright for Xbox but I'm just not seeing it right now.
@gollumb82
Doom Eternal, I think 🤣
Game pass is good they just added
Forza 7 as well.
@Medic_Alert
I know what you mean.
But they have 23 studios now so the future for exclusives should be good.
And if they want to sell more game pass subscriptions then in time they will need to bring some AAA exclusives and great ones at that. I just slightly fear it may end up the AA club in the future, and some people maybe ok with that as it’s a cheap good value subscription, but it won’t sit well in the long for sales of consoles and game pass itself.
@Dezzy70
Yep, one of the things that made me ditch Playstation in favour of Xbox. As a matter of fact I already have Forza 7, Forza Horizon 3 and 4 bought via Xbox Play Anywhere so I'm set
Hype train is leaving the station. Choo Choo
30 days away! Crazy how quickly it seems like it just crept up, excited for you guys!!
Some actual next generation gameplay on the Series X would be nice.... say The Medium? And The Ascent..
I know it's just a dark pic but that grey Series S looks really cool. Id buy a grey one! Looks really retro
@AJDarkstar It doesn’t look good I have to say this close to launch and no actual gameplay, they’ve shown gameplay in the Series S in its montage, but so far nothing for the Series X. I want to get a Series X because if the games, but it is worrying we haven’t seen any gameplay yet.
@S1ayeR74
Even if they should someone playing the new assassins creed, Forza Horizon 4 or the new COD all series x enhanced.
Would be good to see.
@Dezzy70 It might be worth holding off on playing Doom Eternal until the Series S/X upgrade is released
Need to push day 1 games. Right now there is nothing that excites me other than getting game pass and trying last gen games. If they want me to actually buy new games they need to show me why. Or am I missing the point? With game pass I’ll be getting most of the launch games with it anyway?
Hopefully 1 of those things is to show actual next gen gameplay running on XSX for a change
I suppose any info is appreciated, but just want to get my hands on the xsx now
I'm hyped! Once I managed to secure a preorder I went to the Xbox store and started pre-ordering some games I am dying to play on the thing. Then I realized I had reached the $400 mark in games alone so trimmed the list down a bit 😅
I'm baffled at anyine saying there are no games at launch. Sure, most will be also available on current Gen, but those will be SO inferior...
Great, Can't wait to see it what they have in store.. Also excited for the game awards maybe we'll get a new game reveal...
I hope they’re going to show some games that illustrate the power of the xsx. Like others have said we haven’t actually got any next gen game info yet which I find odd.
Obviously gamepass is great but I want some games that wow me like ratchet did at Sony’s showcase.
We know Cyberpunk will benefit some kind of enhancement for the next-gen consoles from day one, even if a better enhancement is shedulded for next year.
I'm really curious to see the game on SX next month : will it be okay to play it on november ? Or will it be wieser to wait for next year ?
I really don't know what to do with this game right now. I know I want to play it, but I want to play it in the best conditions possible.
I'd say go easy on those paid ads...
Sony and MS are both sold out anyway.
I'd use those ads to let people know when it's back in stock for real.
Curious if there will be an announcement relating to the change in EULA on the 15th
