Project Scarlett: What will the next Xbox actually be called? MicrosoftMicrosoft revealed their next-generation Xbox at E3 2019 \u2013 referred to as Project Scarlett \u2013 but some of you may have guessed that it probably won\u2019t be called that upon release. Microsoft doesn\u2019t even know the name Ever since the successor to the Xbox One became a discussion point, it has been known as Project Scarlett. Some gamers thought E3 might serve as a platform to release its official name but alas Microsoft opted to continue as Project Scarlett \u2013 at least for the time being. If you\u2019ve been trying to guess the name of the Xbox then it is just that, a guess. Even Xbox head Phil Spencer doesn\u2019t know the name and even said in an interview with Giant Bomb: \u201cWe don\u2019t even have a list of names.\u201d This might seem strange considering Microsoft\u2019s next-generation console is less than 18 months from release but naming it may not be easy as it seems. It\u2019s easy for Sony Sony and their line of PlayStation consoles don\u2019t share this problem. The first PlayStation released in 1995 and when it\u2019s slimmer model was made was called the PS1. Naturally, every console it has made since has simply increased the number by one, currently leaving us on the PS4. It makes naming their consoles a clear and easy task \u2013 something Xbox is clearly struggling with. They went from Xbox to Xbox 360 to Xbox One. As a result, its most natural evolution would be Xbox Two but this seems increasingly unlikely. Stick with Project Scarlett? The longer Microsoft delay naming the next Xbox the more chance there is they will settle on Project Scarlett, or simply Scarlett. It is by no means an ideal name and makes little sense given the Xbox\u2019s historical names. Nevertheless, brand recognition is everything and if Scarlett becomes too ingrained in the gaming community they may opt to stick with it. In the meantime, Microsoft will focus their efforts on determining what features it will have and making sure it is as optimized as can be. The console is scheduled to be released in the holiday season of 2020 with highly-anticipated Halo Infinite launching as a release title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
