Microsoft imagined this year differently. Many anticipated games have been pushed back to next year, leaving Microsoft in a situation where It’s been too long since the last major first-person Xbox game was released. Even Phil Spencer, who is looking forward to 2023, understands this.
From Xbox Game Studios only five games were released this year, but only the upcoming Pentiment from Obsidian is a new project. In addition, there is the indie game As Dusk Falls, the expansion for Forza Horizon 5, the new edition of Age of Empires 4 and the survival game Grounded, which left early access after two years. This seems to be the last big game. Halo Infinite since the end of last year.

“One thing we’ve definitely heard loud and clear is that we haven’t released what people would call a big game of their own for too long.” This was stated by Phil Spencer in an interview with the Same Brain YouTube channel. “We could make excuses because of Covid and stuff, but at the end of the day, I know that people are putting money into our platform and they want great, big games.”
The pandemic has affected not only Microsoft studios, but the entire industry. Fortunately, next year looks better. Microsoft will release Bethesda’s first true native Xbox games in the form of Redfall as well as Starfield. “It will be a lot of fun” – said the head of the gaming division of Microsoft.
Don’t forget the new one Forza Motorsportwhich is expected in the spring of 2023. More here STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl with console exclusivity for Xbox Series X/S and PC, or Senua Hellblade 2 saga.
We can mention more Age of Empires 2 and 4 for Xbox consoles and multiplatform Minecraft legends.
Spencer rightly pointed out in an interview that many of the teams that have joined Xbox over the past few years have completed their unfinished projects. For example, Double Fine had Psychonauts 2 in development. For this reason now let’s see what these authors can do under the xbox banner. According to Spencer, they are only excited about Microsoft because of their desire to go out and do great new things.
At the end of the interview, Spencer reminded that they are doing more on PC than in previous years. For example, a major update is coming in the coming weeks. App for Xbox.
