Microsoft is all set to showcase their library of upcoming exclusives tonight and ahead of the event the gaming giant has showcased the box art for Halo Infinite. In addition to Halo, we can also expect to see first-party games from the studios that Microsoft acquired over the past 2 years. Another game to look forward to is Hellblade: Senua’s Saga. Microsoft did hold a Series X gameplay event in May but it was met with a lacklustre response as the one thing missing from the event was actual gameplay. Hopeful, Microsoft will underpromise and overdeliver this time around.
If you are planning on watching the event, you can do so right here. Above is the event video which kicks off at 9:30 PM India time. There is a preshow as well which Microsoft says will be packed with interesting information.
In other news, Microsoft has stopped the production of the Xbox One X and the Xbox One S all-digital edition and if information circulating the interwebs is true, then we can expect the company to reveal the lower-powered next-gen machine, Lockhart, soon. Whether they will showcase the machine tonight is yet to be seen.

Microsoft has also discontinued the annual Xbox Gold subscription and we think Microsoft will reshuffle its subscription plans. It has three options for Game Pass, Gold and the upcoming xCloud which is confirmed to be a part of Game Pass Ultimate.
