Xbox detail their PAX Aus plans

Xbox Australia have announced what games and people they are bringing to PAX Australia, which runs from October 26th to the 28th.

For those going for the games, players will get hands on with the Xbox One X and games like Sea of Thieves, Player Unknowns Battlegrounds, Hand of Fate 2 and more. Assassin's Creed Origins will be on the new hardware at the Ubisoft booth, while Middle-earth Shadow of War will be playable over at the Warner Bros booth.
