OOO spicy
I would say this increases the chance for an XO22.
Guess thatās it for PS4. Considering the size of home console market I guess Xbox One sold around 65m at the end.

Yep, that whole list is Game Pass day one, plus they seem to be targeting more souls-like games recently (Flintlock, Wo Long).
I guess all their showcases will be about Game Pass now. I wonder if that means that no more third party announcements? (Granted these days publishers do that separately by themselves)
They already mostly are.
Why exactly?
Please, please please let this one not turn out to be a error/mistake like weāve had in the past.
*Looks at AOE 4
Glad to see they are setting up expectation accordingly and telling us what we will see at the show right away. I would love to see it āevenā if itās just a game pass showā¦

Oh wait, was I getting my hopes up for Elden Ring only for XCloud or Game Pass Ultimate in general?
The tweet says GPU, but a bit unclear if streaming only.
If they are holding booths during Gamescom, and as Microsoft Ignite will be the first in-person event they have done in a while, I could see them going for XO22. Nick said he heard they plan for a X022, but wasnāt sure if they would do it because of Covid and so on.
GPU is what you need to access cloud streaming by default

My stance is always assume this sort of thing is fake until itās apparent itās real. In that case, expect the worst outcome. Youāll be pleasantly surprised no matter what or youāll get to feel smug that you didnāt fall for something

Pentiment and Benedict Fox at Gamescom is so good to see. Shame Iāll be missing out. I was planning to go, but shame since other stuff went through. Hopefully next year! Hopefully we see some more gameplay footage of all mentioned games.
I think weāre for sure gonna get a X022 because they can announce a few things I think might be coming.
- Beta for Redfall which I think is coming and maybe something else along those lines
- Show off the Elite V2 white edition
- Announce something on the bigger side either a new partnership, game or studio they bought
- Showcase some updates to their service games
- Announce more xCloud stuff
- Launch Game Pass for family + maybe a new tier
- Announce the 007 game
- Show something small as a teaser from a studio like The Coalition
- Big Game Pass game drop
- Announce AoE 4 on Xbox if itās not done at Gamescom
Just to list a few things they might be able to pull off.
For those who forgot what sort of stuff was announced at X019 (me) here is a short summary, damn they announced a lot of stuff.

I could see them taking xCloud out of beta and launching a $5/month plan for just streaming. Maybe even unveil that puck TV peripheral for more streaming options?
Please do a V3 with actually good build quality 
Edit: damn, thatās a buttload of announcements. If they do even half that many it would be cool!

Nah I donāt think itāll leave beta just yet because they can use it as a reason why someone could have poor quality while they are still working on making it even better. I could see them maybe having a streaming only option and Iām not sure about the puck that could be a X023 thing. They could announce more TV partners though like LG and TLC for example.
Haha I really do hope they fix the quality for the V3 but Iām leaning to a 2023 release for that one considering this white version of the V2 has been floating around for a such a long time, it would be weird to announce both in the same year.
Right, I was scrolling down and copying all of it and Iām like wow did they announce a lot, it was like a mini E3. I forgot maybe if the ABK deal goes through they could do something with that then too in Novemberish.
