Microsoft has announced the name of their newest video game console: Xbox Series X.

In a tweet from the official Xbox Twitter account, a short 1 minute 53 second video opens with the creation of a world, rocks forming, water swirling and forests growing before cutting into sequences from a racing game, soccer match and scenes from the Halo franchise. The video ends with images of the console itself, followed by the phrase “Power your dreams” and a prospective launch date of “Holiday 2020”.

The Xbox Series X console is that of an elongated rectangle with a disc drive at one end and small Xbox logo at other. The sides of console feature circular vents covering its signature green insides; a very simplistic and sleek style — the flashiness is focused on the interior power of the device instead of its physical appearance. The console is shown to be standing vertical; though it may also work horizontally if space is an issue.

As the video mentions, the Xbox Series X is expected sometime in late 2020.
