I believe Global publishing talk currently fits here but I would not be opposed to a separate thread to highlight the deals done with external studios.

If Global Publishing count as a studio, then so do the games under their banner
I mean, it’s literally their remit.

Yes, they were. “Second party” isn’t a real thing.

This is what I was going to say. If Microsoft is funding, marketing and publishing the game, it’s basically an Xbox Game Studios game especially since it would obviously be exclusive. So games like Contraband and all the rumored titles definitely count just like the games that you mention and have already been released count. It all counts.
THAT thread by @javycane is just amazing btw.
Let the discussion start here about xgs and xgsp, but sometimes collecting all related information and building a thread around it makes a lot of sense. And the 56 project thread is just one of a kind. :chef’s kiss:
Javy - it might be worth creating an article and publishing on Xboxera based on what you have collected too. That info is just gold.

You could also argue that XGSP games are most likely MS IP too as I can’t see MS not locking down IP others are working on.
And there are games where MS has collaborated for publishing through a different route, and not xgsp, btw. Emil had highlighted a few of those games on the podcast chat.
Yes, I don’t think anyone, even me, is saying that other topic shouldn’t exist. It’s a great list.

Whilst I do think global studios counts as XGS I have long thought this too. The whole community essentially piles into two threads. One for acquisition (which boggles my mind that it gets more posts than any other thread, most days) and this thread, which seems to be “anything else”. We’re essentially a two thread forum most of the time.

Halo Infinite press preview maybe Oo

Has to be you would think because Forza already had its press day, so it leaves Halo as the last one standing. Plus we are starting to enter the period where press get their hands on a game.

I suppose Halo Infinite has indeed gone gold so they do have a complete build they can send out now. But that said, it does seem early to send out a review code, certainly at the same time as a preview code.
Same thing happened with FH5
Hmm. What would be in each I guess. The preview has snapshots of certain parts of the game, with the review the whole thing?
It might be just the first hour like FH5 for now and when it’s closer to launch with the day 1 update and such they can do the full review. Also it might not even be available to press until much later, they’ve just uploaded it to their CDNs and such.

It’s crazy how much cultural influence some of the IPs xbox has in their lineup.
Indiana Jones, Wolfenstein, WU TANG CLAN? (rumored), HALO, THE ELDER SCROLLS AND FALLOUT!, MINECRAFT, Sea of Thieves, Age of Empires etc.
