Microsoft has announced that it will be hosting a global celebration livestream for the release of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S on launch day, November 10th.
The company says it will be using the event to host “Let’s Play” segments with the creators, showcase special launch highlights from around the globe and harness the power of gaming to raise vital funds for great causes.
"This will be a moment of play, not press releases, as next generation consoles begin to land in the hands of players around the world. Instead of big announcements, we will mark the beginning of a new era by gaming alongside one another.
We will take this moment to have some fun and look forward to having you join us."
You'll be able to tune in to the livestream beginning at 11AM PT / 2PM ET on YouTube, Twitch and Facebook Gaming, and you can of course look out for coverage here at Pure Xbox as well!
Will you be tuning into this celebration event? Let us know in the comments below.

Can't wait! I received official confirmation from the retailer I had pre-ordered my XSX from that I will receive mine on launch day 😃
@gollumb82 and @Kefka2589 - not heard confirmation yet here in the UK, keeping my fingers crossed that all is ok! At least I’ll be able to watch a live stream of others enjoying the console if the retailer lets me down 😆
@Andyjm @Kefka2589
Thanks guys! I have to say, though, that where I live (Poland) Xbox Series X/S are still available in stores Poland is a Playstation country 😉
@gollumb82 like you can buy them or just pre-order them still?
It sounds basically like a Twitch stream to watch people play games. Maybe it will be accompanied by a great Free-to-Play weekend or something.
It will be cool to see more footage of ganes running on the Series X. But you won't really get that level of graphical fidelity in a livestream.
@Krzzystuff
Pre-order, but I'm fairly certain that XSX/S will be available in stores on launch day (as opposed to PS5, which has been sold out everywhere for a long time). It may just be that many people are waiting for the new XBoxes to be available via All Access
Thank's for the heads up, I'll be sure to tune in..
Just got my confirmations for my series X and series S from Best Buy. They actually let me schedule an appointment to pick them up during a window 3 hours before the store opens.
Received my confirmation from Microsoft store, so looking good!
@MarkD01 same for me here in the UK just advising check card and contact details are correct so all set for November 10th I cannot wait.
Is it me or does Halo Infinite look better? see 1m12sec in above video.
@Rikdangerousxd The gameplay looks fun, but it still looks washed out
Better be early, because if my pre-order arrives it's over before it started.
@gollumb82
That have nothing to do with many of us. Speaking for myself, my pre-order straight from Microsoft Store is a done deal.
@SalmonTag
Are you referring to my remarks about where I live/XSX/S stock in stores? I don't live in the US, so some stuff that is published here doesn't concern me, but I don't complain about it.
@Kefka2589 Haha, same setup for me!
I don't know about Walmart but from switch and, ps4 I can say that Target, Newegg, and GameStop don't send confirmations or anything. They just bill it and ship it when it's time. Yes, well be on pins and needles that day. Gamestop waited until like 2:00AM to ship my switch... But it got here launch day.
I don't think target is doing launch day delivery though. Estimate dates were the usual range of 1-4 days from the 10th so it sounds like that's when they ship them. We probably won't get at least that one on launch day (though they did get my switch here on launch day so there's hope!)
Here's hoping things go well with both stores for us both! I got my orders in the first five minutes, so hopefully that means something.
My ps5 is best buy but that was the 3:00am availability and it's one order with both disc and discless i was able to squeeze in. I'm worried about that one a little more.
@gollumb82
You have a Xbox Series X pre-order too. You're Team Xbox as I am (even if I also get a Playstation 5). Didn't mean for my comment to be a attack. Don't mind me 💭.
@SalmonTag
It's all good, man For the record- I will also be getting a PS5 but 2-3 years from now. It's going to be a great gen for both consoles for sure.
@Kefka2589
Happy for you buddy
@Kefka2589 Wow, that's surprising. When did they bill it? For me, i payed with PayPal. Most stores including walmart and best buy actually charge you at preorder. Target doesn't they just do a hold like if you buy with credit card, so the hold vanished from my card back in September. As of last night they haven't charged yet (they shouldn't until shipping day anyway.)
Walmart and best buy charged me with the order though so those are paid for already. But that's because it's how they prices PayPal.
@Medic_Alert o.O did you call to make sure? I’d hate to see you charged :/
@Kefka2589 huh, interesting. Nothing on my card, but i checked pp and target renewed the hold a week ago in the 23rd. It never showed up in the card, but u guess pp approves internally on their own credit after the initial approval maybe. That means it's still active, but it's probably a monthly auto renew on the hold. Another 10 days of nail biting...
@Medic_Alert Heh, that bc thing is curious. 99% and "might run like a launch Bethesda game, WDGAF caveat emptorum" are two very different policies....
Curry's better not let me down. Come on 10th Nov.
