Xbox’s UK marketing lead has called for patience over the announcement of Xbox Series X’s launch timing and price plans.

With 60 days to go until the next-gen console’s launch month, Microsoft has still not confirmed an exact release date or pricing details for Series X – not to mention the existence of a second next-gen console, Series S, which has been mentioned multiple times on official material.

Rival console firm PlayStation has also not shared its launch plans for PlayStation 5.

As revealed by Arstechnica analysis, no modern console has left it this late to detail its launch plans, the closest being Sony’s PS4 Pro which was launched 64 days following its announcement.

Responding to a fan on Twitter this week, Xbox UK’s marketing lead and Xbox On host Samuel Bateman empathised with the demand for launch news.

“I understand everyone is excited to know and people want to plan purchases etc,” he wrote. “We’ll let you all know when we’re ready”.

Responding to another fan in a follow-up message, he added: “If I could tell you I would. Like I said, when we’re ready, we’ll tell you :)”
