On 21st May 2013, at 6pm, Microsoft are set to make a very big announcement about the next generation of Xbox.
We’ll be here on the day with a live feed to give you all the news as it comes, so check back for everything you’ll need to know about the future of Xbox.
In the meantime, we’re celebrating the best of Xbox past and present. Take a read of our features covering the history, games and characters that made Xbox great – and our own great Xbox memories. And check out our great offers on Xbox 360 consoles, games and accessories.
We’re excited about Xbox – are you?
3D Glasses? A new Kinect? These and other functions have all been created, at least in prototype form, for the next Xbox – at least according to The Wall Street Journal. That respected paper has published an interesting piece regarding Microsoft’s big announcement and how they may hope to compete with smartphones. Will any of these prototypes appear as part of the finsiehd thing this evening?
Over 170 GAME Stores will be opening their doors this evening to stream the Xbox Announcement. So why not head into store and experience the New Generation reveal with your fellow gamers, and you can cheer, discuss and bond together!
IGN are reporting that FIFA will be making their presence known at today’s reveal event. This comes from a tease on the FIFA Facebook Page that included the official #XboxReveal Hashtag.

FIFA has been making leaps and bounds in recent years anyway – just how good should we expect the next-gen version of virtual footie to be?
Less than 11 hours until the future of Xbox is revealed, are you excited yet? Make sure you are ready today at 6pm.
During Major Nelson’s latest podcast, Microsoft’s Interactive Entertainment Chief Aaron Greenberg revealed that tomorrow’s big reveal is part one of a two stage event.
“The best way I can describe it is, we’re really going to tell one story across two events. So we’re going to start on the 21st [of May] and really that’s about revealing the next Xbox platform and our vision for the future of games, the future of entertainment. We definitely have a lot of surprises planned.
“People are going to get a great inside look at the making of the new platform and the team that brought it to life. To be honest it’s really about the team, the people here. We’ve never done this before, so it’s really exciting to be able to do that.
“It’s a lot of laying the foundation, and then just a couple weeks later we go to E3, and E3 is all about the games. It’s going to be tons of exclusives world premieres.”
Could the the first game from Respawn Entertainment appear exclusively on the new Xbox? According to Kotaku, the debut title from Respawn – the studio headed by Call of Duty creators Jason West and Vince Zampella – will only be coming to the new Xbox (and possibly Xbox 360). Little is known about this new game, but Kotaku have their theories on this, too.
Could this be the first big name to sign up to Xbox exclusivity?
Excitement isn’t the only thing building at Xbox HQ as the days countdown to the New Generation reveal.
Thanks to tweets from Xbox’s Major Nelson and Aaron Greenberg, Microsoft have started to construct the home of the new Xbox Presentation. Not long to go now…
Did you see the first trailer for Call of Duty: Ghosts? From the message at the end of the trailer, it looks like we know at least one thing we’ll be seeing at the New Generation Xbox Reveal – the new Call of Duty game, “live”!
I think the new Xbox should have an easier way of transitioning quickly between gameplay and being able to communicate with teammates or friends. It would also be good if it was able to support many different kinds of controller, wired or otherwise. #GAMEXboxNews
Wow
how much is the xbox720 going to be
I would like to see a blue ray DVD player in the new Xbox as well as some new Xbox accessories and have some Xbox controllers that you can customize.
l would love to see multi tasking as you can play a other game at the same time as the one running in the background
on the new xbox i want to see free youtube, 4od etc like on ps3
That already exists on the current xbox. Go into Apps and you can download loads of good ones
So naming the system, GO!
1.Xbox Konect
2.Xbox Infinity
3.Xbox Fusion
Options on how to watch this exclusive
It will be called the Xbox Infinity.
It will NOT have a Blue-Ray player.
It’s gpu etc will be a little lesser than the PS4.
The PS4 and Xbox Infinity will be not as powerful as a gaming PC from 4 year ago; making them outdated already.
For the price you will pay for a console: you might as well build a budget PC; games are far cheaper and more satisfying!
Can’t wait xbox for life!
ho hum…..hardly any exclusives will be on this platform same as the 360….PS4 for me
Lets see wha gwan with tha new Xbox last one very gd can it beat PlayStation again or take on the big sony giants lord of mercy lol lmaooooooooo
What Xbox are you advertising doesn’t tell me
I’m sure that gamers will be very excited to hear the news…us parents however will be interested in one thing only: How Much is it going to cost???

I am SUPER excited about this but I’m also really hoping we might actually see the -console- and not just the controller for this one (Ahem, Sony. ¬_¬)
