Microsoft has been producing Xbox One since the end of 2020

The Xbox One has been able to inspire many players and Microsoft fans since their release on November 22, 2013, thanks to titles such as Fora Horizon in their spelling and through the Game Pass for small money with a mighty bid of various games Keep at the bar. But now the Xbox Series S and X is the new pike horse of Microsoft and the Xbox One disappears from the screen.

The console of the last generation is still available normally commercially available, but there will be no longer . Because the production The Xbox One has long been set officially set and since the end of 2020. New consoles have been no longer produced for quite some time.
