Here are the biggest Xbox announcements from The Game Awards 2019
The event was definitely full of surprises.
The Game Awards 2019 took place today in Los Angeles, California. There were many surprises at the event, but the biggest one had to be the Xbox Series X reveal. The console looks like a PC tower with a green light at the top that signifies that it's on. It's a unique form factor that should look quite good in a living room.
You can take a look at all the major Xbox One-related announcements from The Game Awards below.
Xbox Series X
Xbox head Phil Spencer revealed the Xbox Series X. The name reveal was accompanied by what the console looks like and it's similar to a PC tower. It's quite small and very sleek. The first game for the platform, Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, was announced for the console as well. It's unclear if it's going to be a launch title or come after Holiday 2020.
