Xbox Series X Game Box Art is Confusing | Game Rant

It may be hard to believe, but the next-generation of video game consoles will be launching in just one week’s time. Xbox will be kicking off the next-generation with the launch of the Xbox Series X on November 10, and so fans should soon start seeing Xbox Series X video games on sale at local retailers. However, the Xbox Series X game box art looks like it will be pretty confusing, as it’s virtually identical to the Xbox One game box art.

Images of Xbox Series X game box art have started appearing online, looking almost exactly the same as Xbox One game box art, but with some slight changes. For instance, the Xbox Series X game box art has an added badge in the top-right corner that designates it as a Series X game and says “Xbox” at the top of the box instead of “Xbox One.” However, it seems safe to say that many consumers, especially those who may not be as savvy about the video game industry, could get confused and wind up purchasing the wrong product.

Thanks to the Xbox Series X’s backward compatibility with Xbox One games, this won’t necessarily be a huge deal. After all, many Xbox Series X games support Smart Delivery as well, meaning players can get access to the next-gen Xbox Series X version of the games at no additional cost. So even if someone purchases an incorrect version of a game, it may not matter at all. However, there are some titles where this slip-up will be rather inconvenient.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is one such game where this discrepancy is important. Activision is not allowing users to upgrade to the next-gen version of Black Ops Cold War for free. On the contrary, they will either need to buy the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War cross-gen bundle for $69.99, or they will need to pay a $10 fee to upgrade to the new version of the game.

Not only that, but the Black Ops Cold War Xbox box art looks especially confusing. Both the Xbox One and Xbox Series X Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War game box art lists Xbox One and Xbox Series X consoles right on the front. Needless to say, it will be interesting to see how many confused consumers there are when the Xbox Series X games start going on sale alongside the console’s launch on November 10.
