This one too I guess ? It only mentions the XSX.
I didn’t even know that this game existed.

Great list.
As a Halo fan, I was really looking forward to playing Infinite on my XSX on launch day. As much as I understand the delay, it’s still disappointing on a personal level.
BUT, while the third party showcase got some heat and criticism, I found that there was a lot to like and be excited about. Most of these games look great and are on track to be available at or near launch in 2020.
The Medium, The Ascent, 12 Minutes and Second Extinction all look like they’re up my alley.
I know there’s no big flagship title now launching but there’s still reason to be excited IMO with games like these on the way.

I really hope shredders is good. I would love a good snowboarding game.

The most interesting one to me is STALKER 2. STALKER was probably only behind Witcher 3 and Metro in terms of the big Eastern European franchises and on its release, it was the patriarch of Eurojank. Investing in a new STALKER of all games shows to me they are really interested in finding the next Witcher in terms of games that could elevate to the next level. Which is an exciting prospect.

This thread has done a better job than Xbox at marketing these games. Some do look good. When is bright infinite releasing?

So many interesting and genuinely good looking games there.
The Ascent and Gunk are definitely on my radar.

I love Halo and all the big hitters, but these are the games I look forward to the most and pretty much sold me on the XSX. MS really need to do a marketing blitz showing off all these games running on XSX.

Thanks OP, nice list. I’m really glad we get The Falconeer, 12 Minutes, Call of the Sea and The Ascent in 2020. I wasn’t sure about the release dates (years) so it’s a very pleasant surprise as I’m really interested in all of these. Suddenly the “launch window” lineup looks much more interesting to me.
Also The Gunk has lots of potential imo.

12 Minutes and The Acent are the two I’m extremely looking forward too, ever since I saw the 12 Minutes E3 trailer whenever it was, I was hooked. The Acent looks like a Cyberpunk Diablo so that instantly gets me excited haha.

Your comment shows how bad Microsoft marketing is.
Stalker 2 could be very big, Microsoft should publish it.
Beside Halo, I feel like MS put the spotlight on The Medium and I can totally understand why. But as non-fan of horror/Silent Hill-esque games, it doesn’t do much for me.
And for some reason I thought games like Call of the Sea or The Ascent were 2021, so yeah I guess it’s a fail for MS as far as I’m concerned, but a pleasant surprise for me now 
Now a couple of 1P games in 2020 like Gear Tactics or Flight Sim (not holding my breath for this one) and that would make the launch window even better for me.

They need to show Medium, Scorn, and The Gunk running on the Series X. Basically, visually impressive games that can show the next gen leap. They also should focus on how some of their games will be upgraded for instance Horizon 4, Gears 5, Sea of thieves all running 4k/60 with visual enhancements.
I think a showcase, just a small show, focusing on these games would be good and their visual fidelity would be good.
