Microsoft set to release a 'family' of new consoles codenamed Scarlett in 2020

Microsoft is preparing to release a new'family' of Xbox games consoles in 2020, according to leaked documents. Earlier this week the firm revealed a slew of new Xbox games and a new streaming service at the E3 gaming conference in Los Angeles. However, a new claim says that the gaming giant is also working on an entirely new version of its Xbox - and that there will be more than one device. Xbox boss Phil Spencer also teased the forthcoming video game streaming service, which he claims will be able to'unlock console-quality gaming on any device' 'This past week, I was tipped off that the next generation Xbox was codenamed Scarlett and in an effort to track down if this information was accurate, I was able to view content that highlighted several unannounced Microsoft products that are coming in the next two years, wrote Brad Sams of Thurrot According to the documents, Microsoft describes'Scarlett' as a family of devices. However, it is unclear is this is an entirely new console, or if the family could include a portable version following the success of Nintendo's Switch.
