The Annual Game Developers Conference (GDC) for this year is postponed but Microsoft is still set to deliver what it had planned for the show in a live stream. The company has announced that they will be live streaming the keynotes about Xbox Series X and Project xCloud on 18th March 2020 as they had it in the plan for GDC.

Project xCloud

We know a lot about the next-gen Xbox console already, thanks to Microsoft’s earlier disclosers about the Xbox design and specs.

We already know that Xbox Series X is going to have a custom build AMD CPU based on the Zen 2 and Radeon RDNA 2 technology.

The company also confirmed Series X console will support 8K gaming and up to 120 FPS. The console will have auto low latency and variable refresh rates.

The Xbox Series X will also have an NVMe SSD to reduce the game boot time. Because of the SSD, you will be able to resume your game instantly from where you left, even if you reboot your console after the update.

What Can We Expect From The Xbox Series X and xCloud Keynotes?

It is very much possible that Microsoft will announce the xCloud services officially in North America, UK, and the regions it is operating currently in beta. We might also hear some news about the Xbox Series X release date or hardware specifications.

The company also informed that they will be talking about DirectX Ray-tracing in the live stream. Previously Microsoft announced that ray-tracing is a vital and very important part of the new console.

It seems that the Xbox team wants to give us a teaser or gameplay demo to show how the ray-tracing will look like on their console.

The whole event is named Game Stack Live 2020 which will be streamed on 17th and 18th March from 10 AM till 2-3 PM (Pacific Time) each day.

If you want to know only about the Xbox Series X and xCloud segment, tune in to the stream at 11:40 AM (Pacific Time) on 18th March.
