“Xboxing Day dropped all the way to August,” Grubb writes. When prompted about whether or not or not this implies Microsoft is simply going to ditch June solely, Grubb says it largely boils right down to not eager to “go first” – that’s, not wanting to point out its hand earlier than Sony reveals theirs.
It would possibly do one thing else in June. It might carry Xboxing Day again into June as soon as Sony goes. But it undoubtedly would not need to go first for this half.

“It might do something else in June,” reads the tweet. “It could bring Xboxing Day back into June once Sony goes. But it definitely doesn’t want to go first for this part.”
The sheer quantity of rescheduling occurring at current makes it troublesome to take these dates with out a pinch of a salt, although. As Grubb factors out, it’s virtually value labeling nearly all of dates – revised or not – as “wild cards,” in that they’re largely topic to vary at any second.
I ought to do a brand new schedule the place everyone seems to be only a WILD CARD. That could be simpler.

It’s value clarifying that the first-party occasion scheduled for July remains to be set to go forward – though the wild card argument stands. It has already been confirmed that Halo Infinite will make an appearance at the Xbox event in July, and that Xbox Series X production is already underway.
Meanwhile, the PS5 occasion initially set to air on June four has been rescheduled for June 11. It’s only a rumor proper now, however there’s chatter that a Bloodborne remaster for PS5 and PC may be announced in the course of the showcase.
In different associated information, ex-Xbox lead William Stillwell lately stated that Microsoft will learn to address the SSD advantage held by PS5.
