Microsoft boss Phil Spencer has told Xbox fans that the company is "working as hard as it can" to create enough Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles to satisfy demand. As you all know, chances to buy an Xbox Series X have been hard to come by of late.

Joining the Major Nelson podcast (thanks, VGC), Spencer opened up on some of the most frequent questions he receives, 

“I get some people, ‘why didn’t you build more? Why didn’t you start earlier? Why didn’t you ship them earlier?’ I mean, all of those things,” Spencer said.

"I'm incredibly proud of how the teams did," Spencer added, reflecting on the challenges of releasing new consoles in 2020. "We got the consoles launched and wish we had more of them. It's selling out too quickly. But all in all, really proud of what the teams have been able to do."

Now, however, a video game editor has acknowledged the rumour "has a strong chance of being true based on stuff [they'd] heard", which reportedly states Ubisoft will join the service in late 2021. 

If true, it follows in line with EA Play, which joined the console version of Xbox Game Pass in time for the launch of Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. 

There's a lot to get excited about in gaming this year. Here are the upcoming games of 2021 we really just can't wait for.

These are the stores you should keep checking for Series X stock:
