When will we finally be able to lay our hands on a brand-new PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X? We’re only months away from the holiday season, and yet, neither Sony or Microsoft have given us a precise release date or opened pre-orders. The Xbox Series X is coming sometime in November, but that’s about all we know for sure right now. Well, the reliable folks at Video Games Chronicle have been doing some digging with their industry and development sources, and a clearer picture may be beginning to emerge.

Both the Sony and Microsoft are reportedly planning early-to-mid November launch dates for their new consoles. Sony in particular seems to be eyeing a November 13 PS5 release, as the company has a major advertising spend scheduled to start then. According to VGC, Microsoft is looking to beat Sony to the punch, and will likely launch the Xbox Series X in the first week of November, although they could slip into the second week. It unlikely either company will launch later in the month in the vicinity of Black Friday, as they don’t want the PS5/XSX to be overshadowed by sales.
