We might not have a price or a confirmed release date for theXbox Series Xyet, but the box art forMicrosoft’s next-gen console games has been revealed – and it’s basically what we’ve already got now.

Microsoft has committed to supporting theXbox Onewith all Xbox Series X releases, which means games likeFar Cry 6(shown below) andHalo Infinitewill also run on Xbox One. For that reason, then, the Xbox Series X box art is basically what we already have now.

Games that areoptimized for Xbox Series Xwill display a rather unmissable badge that points out that the title will take advantage of the next-gen console’s additional graphical grunt. A black bar underneath the platform banner also points out which consoles the game supports.

Far Cry 6 was announced during the Ubisoft Forward event, which took place on Sunday, July 12. The game will star Breaking Bad’s Giancarlo Esposito (Gus Fring) as the game’s main antagonist, and is set to release on Xbox One, Xbox Series X,PS4, PS5, PC andStadiaon February 18, 2021.

Boxing match

We’ve seen that thePS5 box artis slightly different from its predecessor, and mirrors the consoles new two-tone styling. However, Microsoft’s goal to make Xbox one homogeneous place to play is clear with the Xbox Series X games box art, and hopefully is clear enough for consumers who are looking to buy their favorite titles in the future.
