The much-anticipated video console is slated for release later this year and Phil believes things are coming together nicely for the Xbox brand ahead of the big day.

Speaking to Polygon, he reflected: "I honestly think we're in the best launch lineup position that we've ever been on Xbox.

"When I think about the strength and depth of the games that people are going to be able to play day one on Xbox Series X - not only because of [backward compatibility] - and the way that Game Pass really allows the total cost of ownership of our console, I think is a real strength.

"But you know, we also have 'Halo'. The last time we had 'Halo' at the launch of a console was 2001. And we feel really good about 'Halo'. It'll be a big part in the [Xbox Series X Game Showcase on July 23]."

Xbox Series X was announced during E3 2019 as 'Project Scarlett' and is scheduled for release later this year, despite the coronavirus pandemic.
