A few surpises releasing into gamepass
1st party
june/july grounded 1.0
august redfall
September deathloop
october forza
november strarfield
I hope we get redfall gameplay before E3
this E3 will be very good as we finally see
starfield, avowed, inexiles rpg perfect dark, fable, coalitions next project, more hellblade, project mara,compulsion game, kojima game, tango new game, machines games new game, a new arcane game a new ID game all the third party exclusive projects we have seen leak.
Aquisitions- I hope we see them get another publisher but who knows. Im not worrying about it anymore. Era staff thinks we will see some so im optimistic.
I do expect xbox to lose out on big exclusivity projects that sony money hats like street fighter and maybe another square game because phil seems to be ok with this stuff slipping away.
I do think this is the e3 where people are like wow xbox first party is just as good if not better than sonys and we see a major shift in mineshare.
Overall its gonna be a good year to be a xbox gamer in 2022
Thatās another sign of weakness they must limit in the future, Xbox cannot lose big games day one left and right for cheap (Iām sure SE deals cost peanuts to Sony), while PS loses them only if MS acquire a publisher, itās not good.
If MS can supply enough consoles the big sports games will come to Gamepass earlier. Not Day 1 but like mid November I think this is the best move to get people into the Xbox ecosystem. Sports games and FPS games are like the superhero movies of the cinema. Those are the blockbusters and I believe locking those down and making Xbox/ Gamepass the best ecosystem to play those games is super important.
$250 Series S and $450 Series X. MS is going to be aggressive
2nd half 2022 will be stacked again and MS will do another 6 major games in 6 months on Gamepass. AoE4 console edition, Redfall, Forza Motorsport, Starfield, Plague Tale sequel. That is only 5 I dont know what the 6th game will be. Probably Company of Heroes 3 because of that Sega/MS alliance
