Summary -

Introducing the Largest, Most Creatively Diverse Games Lineup in Console History, Led by Halo Infinite

Our unique vision for the next generation of gaming starts with players at the center, immersing you in riveting, fun, and mind-blowing experiences—on any device. We know what matters the most to you: unforgettable games. Games that deeply connect you with fascinating characters, vast worlds and great friends wherever you are. And with a new era of gaming upon us, the world’s greatest developers are imagining new worlds and ideas to entertain you for years to come.

Just months from the launch of Xbox Series X, in today’s Xbox Games Showcase, we debuted the largest, most creatively diverse games lineup in console history, led by Halo Infinite – and all in Xbox Game Pass day one. Halo Infinite is the biggest and most-ambitious Halo ever, and today we provided the first glimpse of its stunning campaign gameplay, giving you a taste of what to expect this holiday season. From expansive new worlds in Fable, Avowed, and Everwild to unprecedented realism with Forza Motorsport, we took you back to some familiar universes and introduced a few you’ve yet to traverse.

Partner support for Xbox has never been stronger, and their creativity was on full display with world premieres of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis, and much more all launching exclusively on Xbox consoles. We also announced an incredible partnership between Xbox and Bungie, bringing Destiny 2 to Xbox Game Pass this fall with access to previous expansions and the upcoming Destiny 2: Beyond Light, at no additional cost. Bungie is also releasing Destiny 2 Optimized for Xbox Series X with 4K resolution running at 60 frames per second.

Bungie is one of many developers bringing their titles to Xbox Game Pass. In fact, Xbox Game Pass members will be able to play every game in our Xbox Games Showcase, as part of their membership or free-to-play, when they launch.

Below, we’ve summarized everything revealed today, inclusive of 10 world premieres, 22 games being built to launch exclusively on Xbox consoles, projects from nine of our 15 Xbox Game Studios, and several of our partners. The games you saw today also take full advantage of the world’s most powerful console—Xbox Series X—to deliver unprecedented fidelity, performance, precision and immersion.

Fans of the Master Chief around the world got a first-ever look at Halo Infinite’s campaign, featuring new gameplay mechanics, bigger battles, epic vistas and more complex visual effects than ever before, utilizing the full power of Xbox Series X. With a flawless 60 frames per second locked for campaign gameplay, and the freedom to explore a Halo ring that is several times larger than the last two Halo games combined, Halo Infinite will immerse players in the next chapter of the Master Chief’s journey.

Yes! :toot:

Can’t wait for this, really hope this sells me on the Series X as my side console alongside my Switch. Not going to lie, with Halo, Hellblade 2 and Everwild I’m nearly sold already! If they announce Forza for next year (or shock us with this year) and then announce a new Fable and something else I’d be tempted to get one at launch.

Much better time for me as well with my current shift pattern at work :)

I'm going with series X launch day as Oct 9th and £425.
The machine will come with 3 free months of Gamepass.

If Forza 8 is there at launch I’d be very tempted, even £450 would be insanely tempting and would be even better with 3 months of Game Pass.

This guy is pretty accurate with everything.

Obsidian RPG is on a 'Skyrim Scale' apparently.

Having 2 massive open world RPG's in Fable and this Obsidian game is a brave move, I think the Obsidian one is further out though, as is The Outer Worlds 2.

I can't imagine them skipping out on a Forza last year to not have one show up for launch of the Series X.

I am wondering if LEGO Skywalker Saga will get a showing here. Even though this is Series X games, there's still backwards compatibility to think of, and this could be one of the games they use to show that off. A dedication that yes - even if the game is new, it will still play, and more importantly be natively improved, on the Series X.

Looking forward to seeing what comes.

Phil said he's excited about what they have for Series X's launch so im gonna guess Halo Infinite, Forza 8, Pyschonauts 2 (exclusive to Series X for next gen), possible Flight Simulator and a load of Series X enhanced titles.

GAMES!

Really looking forward to this :toot: I still find myself erring on the side of PS5, but their showing was slightly disappointing, so if MS studios knock it out of the park and give us even 2 excellent launch games, then... I'll probably still get a PS5 :slol: But! I still wanna see amazing games! I haven't liked a Halo game in ages, so seeing something hype inducing from that would be great. I hope they reset the story because that's just total bobbins. And Fable!

Yup, Rumour is they going to show everything the have..."unload the clip" was the phrase used.


They’ve been really hyping up this event for what feels like months now, as you said, Phil Spencer is really excited about it, just got my fingers crossed they can deliver!

I am wondering if LEGO Skywalker Saga will get a showing here. Even though this is Series X games, there's still backwards compatibility to think of, and this could be one of the games they use to show that off. A dedication that yes - even if the game is new, it will still play, and more importantly be natively improved, on the Series X.

Looking forward to seeing what comes.


Is Lego Star Wars still going ahead? Not heard anything about it since the cover art got announced and with the news about Warner Bros kind of has me wondering about it, short term at least.

It's always been my understanding that summer meant Celebration. But Celebration's cancelled, and the next one won't be until 2022. There's got to be some form of getting the news out, so even if just for a small segment, reminding people about the game at this event would make sense until the proper reveal comes. It could also be one of the games coming as part of this demo event.
