Not only that but the “Hold all RPG reveals until Starfield” is released is just nonsensical. Again what happens if Starfield is Q42022? You wont reveal anything else until E3 2023 and not launch another RPG until Q42023-Q12024?

Again, way more than 20 million players is not a small pond. What are you even talking about?

Just an FYI, Roblox is now its own company currently valued at around $54B. That is more than all of EA. All for a game that no one talks about and is not even on Playstation.

Racing…niche? Mario Kart and Forza Horizon 4 are bigger then any of Sony’s games. Not this gen. Of all time.

I hope Forza Horizon 5 will be next-gen only game 
This is why we have a new next-gen consoles – to play new next-gen games. I know that still not many consoles have been sold and that there is a big problem with the supply, but the sooner developers focus only on new consoles the better.
I get that some people would say
there are 18+ million Game Pass subscribers, they can't leave them just like that. But we must go forward, not stand still or stride. Sony already has 3 next-gen only games for first year for the new full price, with kind of niche title like Returnal. Especially they’re struggling more with supplies. I know Sony has slightly different policy and business model than Microsoft and this is XGS thread. But if we look at Microsoft they release every new first-party on Game Pass as well. If I remember correctly from Xbox Wire article, around 80% of Xbox Series X|S users has Game Pass.When Forza Horizon 5 will launch they will have probably a few millions of new consoles sold. Especially with Halo Infinite launch potentially in November. Wouldn’t be enough of players for servers in the game? Also, Forza Horizon 5 will launch on day one on Steam as well. Just 2 months ago more than 2 years old Forza Horizon 4 was released there and it was already some kind of success for racing games on Valve’s platform. When we look at NPD figures for the U.S. market, Forza Horizon 4 is a true system-seller just on Xbox consoles, just physically and next game will be as well, even if they would release it just on Xbox Series X|S.
Another potential scenario could similar/same as with Forza Horizon 2. Playground Games could develop just Xbox Series X|S version of Forza Horizon 5 and outsource Xbox One port to Sumo again. If they could do similar with Forza Horizon 4 for Xbox Series X|S (Panic Button developed that update), then I wouldn’t see some issues if they would do vice versa for the new game.

Hell I didn’t realize until recently just how big Roblox was!
Hopefully Ninja Theory will fill that niche , then people could finally STFU about it!
Gus Fring is the truth! So damn bad ass.
I saw that Jeff Grubb has another stream today, oddly enough exact same video title as last time.

From Grounded’s Discord:
It’s been a while since you’ve last heard from the Grounded dev team at Obsidian, and we wanted to update you all what’s up and coming for Grounded. We are approaching the one-year mark from the Game Preview/Early Access launch and we still have so much that we want to do for the game. Some of these larger features take time, and with a small team it’s difficult to release content every month while balancing larger tasks that need to get done to finish the game. We will be looking at doing larger and slightly less frequent updates moving forward, which will allow us to make our updates more meaningful with more and better content. Our goal is to find the right balance of keeping the game fresh with new things while giving the team enough time to make quality features. As always your feedback in this process is critical as we figure out a good release cadence as we continue on the path towards our 1.0 launch.We are hard at work on the next update (0.10.0), which is one of our largest yet, which is on track to be released at the end of June. We have decided to not do an update for May and focus our efforts and polish on the larger update coming next month. The team is excited to share some of the details of what’s to come.

But I thought 1.0 was next …
So probably no update on it during the show?
Doesn’t look like it. Can probably scratch that off the E3 list no? Unless they show a preview trailer of the update.
We’ve done a few more things this month like add sprinting while climbing up ladders, and our programmers have upgraded to the latest and greatest version of Unreal (4.26.2), which now allows us keep up with the latest features of the engine that is used to build Grounded. For example, in the latest version of Unreal we will be able to take advantage of the new particle engine called Niagara.This is a small preview of what’s coming in June (we don’t want to spoil the big stuff). As always, please join our discord and give us feedback on the state of the game - we love to hear what you think. Together we can make this game the best it can be.Flipped Buildings
With the next update, you will be able to flip some building pieces to get the mirrored version. For example, the spiral stairs can be flipped to fit your base.More Building Pieces
We’ve heard that you would like more building pieces. We are adding more curved walls, more roof variations, and even pillars.Giant Food Item Changes
Giant food items, such as Billy Hogs, Archers Cookies, and apples, have been changed to be found more frequently. Ants will harvest their food from the large food through the day - if you follow them to the source, you can harvest a much better food item as a reward.Photo Mode Additions
Photo mode has a few new features to get that perfect shot, including adjusting the time of day.ARC.R
The latest in the range of modified TAYZ.Ts is an enhanced defense variant called the ARC.R. Outfitted with a capacitor stack and hefty arm cannon, ARC.Rs unleash energized balls of charged static for a greater challenge in lab combat.

It’s fine with me. But I do hope Obsidian is still there, with that other game. 
No expectations though!

They have a big update set for late June so it will probably get a trailer
Probably. I was thinking Avowed and Grounded 1.0 but the latter seems like its not coming out anytime soon.
