Microsoft Xbox 2020 Leaked To Arrive In Two Variants

Shortly after Project Scarlett was announced at the E3 Gaming Convention 2019, leaks and rumours have shrouded Microsoft’s upcoming gaming console in mystery. The next iteration of the Xbox is expected to define a new era in console gaming. For instance, it is speculated that the upcoming Xbox will support 8K gaming, 120 fps and ray tracing technology. Microsoft has named it Project Scarlett, and more information regarding the gaming console is expected to be available soon. However, a user on social media website Reddit has revealed some key information regarding the upcoming Xbox.

The leaks state that the next generation gaming console will officially be named the Xbox V. Furthermore, the company will announce not one, but two consoles and the specced-up variant of the Xbox V will be called the Xbox VX. Where the toned down variant of Microsoft’s gaming console is speculated to be priced at US$ 400 (~INR 27,800), the Xbox VX will most likely be priced at US$ 500 (~INR 34,800).

The Xbox V will not include a disk drive, which explains the lower pricing of the same. Additionally, the console will also compromise on some other hardware specifications, implying that Microsoft wants to take on the cheaper variant of Sony’s PlayStation 5 when it will be announced. On the other hand, the more powerful Xbox VX will feature an inbuilt disk drive, 4K support, and a Blu-Ray reader. Both variants of the Xbox will have 1TB of internal storage by default. The 2TB variant of both consoles will be priced at US$ 100 more than the price of the base variants.

The leak source further states that Microsoft has some exclusive game titles that are lined up for a later release. However, the American company may not unveil any information regarding the games anytime soon since it is more focused on strengthening its current lineup of games. Lastly, the speculated Xbox V and Xbox VX are expected to be released in the month of November 2020. Going by the leaks, the project was named Scarlet but infact the code names of both the consoles are “Lockhart” and “Anaconda”. Note that the information mentioned above is solely based on a leak, so it’s wise that it should be taken with a grain of salt. Nonetheless, a clash of the consoles is apparent in 2020, so interested fans might just have to wait.

Microsoft Working On An Xbox Controller For Visually Impaired Gamers

Microsoft’s Xbox gaming console is a renowned device for gaming enthusiasts. To ensure users with limited mobility can enjoy the games of their choice, the company launched the Adaptive controller for the Xbox One console last year. According to a fresh patent that Microsoft has been granted, it is revealed the company is working on another type of controller which is specifically designed for visually impaired gamers.

Xbox Braille Controller

Microsoft filed for a patent at the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO) for a “Haptic Braille Output for a game controller”. The patent was published on the 2nd of May and showcases an Xbox controller with support for braille input that supports haptic feedback. Images in the patent present a special braille accessory which can be mounted on the rear of existing Xbox controllers which make it possible to input braille characters. The said accessory is comprised of six paddles and a display, which can show texts or audio in braille. So, for example, a visually impaired gamer can still participate in a chat session with other gamers. For those unaware, Braille is a tactile reading and writing language developed by Louis Braille, a French educator. The language is widely accepted as the standard for the visually impaired.

The patented Xbox game controller from Microsoft is also showcased to recognise speech commands and converting them into a text input. Furthermore, the braille controller may also be capable of giving vibration feedback which can be adjusted per game. As previously mentioned, it can be attached to the back of the controller and the functions can be mapped by the convenience of the gamer using the console, smartphone or PC. While the patent for a braille Xbox controller has been granted to Microsoft, when the company actually releases it is anyone’s guess.

Microsoft Announces The All Digital Xbox One S

Microsoft in a blog post has announced the newest member of the Xbox lineup of gaming console. Dubbed the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition, it is the long rumoured diskless variant of the regular Xbox One S. With no disk drive in the console, users would only be able to obtain the game licenses digitally. Because of the removed component, the company has been able to reduce the price of the gaming console by a considerable margin.

Xbox One S All Digital

The new Xbox One S All-Digital Edition as mentioned above will be the regular Xbox One S not featuring a disk drive. This insinuates all the basic specifications of the regular version will remain intact. So, one could expect the regular’s 4K streaming, Spatial Audio and HDR Support on board. With the All-Digital version, Microsoft is bundling three games, namely Minecraft, Forza Horizon 3 and Sea of Thieves with the console. An additional 1TB Hard Drive is available on the Xbox One S.

To facilitate the purchase of digital gaming titles on the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition, Microsoft is also promoting its Xbox Game Pass. It is a subscription service by the company which lets users play over a hundred gaming titles. A disadvantage of an all-digital version of the gaming console has over its regular variant is the missing Blueray support because of the lack of a physical disk drive.

Microsoft has launched the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition in the US for the price of US$ 249 (Rs. 17,300) and it is available to pre-order starting today. Unfortunately, the company hasn’t announced when the gaming console will make its way to the Indian market, however, it is unlikely to launch in India. The reason for that is cited for the abundance of the stocks of regular variant of the Xbox One S. Additionally, all digital game titles are still not as popular as physical ones in the country.

Xbox One Consoles Bricked By An Unknown Bug On Wednesday

This Wednesday, Microsoft’s Xbox Twitter Support page was a galore of memes and spam. Why? Because a mysterious bug surfaced on the Xbox one consoles for nearly everyone across the globe. While some users reported a black screen, some users complained that they couldn’t get their console to start. And the very few users who luckily got past the startup screen were unable to log into Xbox live.

Reports And Complaints

A lot of reports and complaints originated around 7 pm IST, saying that a lot of Xbox one gamers couldn’t boot their Xbox One up. Even after restarting it several times, there wasn’t a fix available to the problem. Meanwhile, a lot of gamers started reaching out to the Xbox Support page on Twitter, creating a mess. Literally everyone saw that coming.

Xbox Gives A Response

Xbox support tweeted a while later (you can check out the tweet here) and redirected the users to a Live status page which, surprisingly, was down as well. Gamers, obviously, were in a turmoil. So a lot of them resorted to hilarious ‘PS4 threats’ and a variety of memes. You can find them on the link mentioned above, and below as well.

This specific outage was received with a lot of hostility because it wasn’t allowing any gamer to play online as well as offline. So, all people were able to do was just stare at their screens until Microsoft worked on the bug.

Some hours later, Xbox support got back to their user base with the relieving news that the issue has been resolved. Gamers were able to get back online and text their buddies ‘Servers are back up, let’s play’. According to some tweets, the issue was caused due to a service update, that had to be rolled back in order to fix the outage. But hey, all’s well that ends well.

Vikendi is the latest map added by Tencent to the highly popular game. It is a snow map and has it’s own little features. Vikendi, a 6x6km map, has a quicker gameplay than Erangel and Miramar, but offers a more tactical experience than Sanhok. Being a snow based map, players can throw snowballs while waiting to board the plane in the starting area. Other snow based features are also incorporated from the real life. For example, vehicles will be more slippery in snow or icy areas. Acceleration on icy terrain is slow as well. Footprints and vehicle tracks appear as players travel in snow-covered areas which can also enhance the gameplay as the player can track footprints to understand opponent’s position.
