Xbox Shines This Year

What did we learn from the developer direct from Xbox? Well, they’re going to have a lot of games this year. All their studio work has finally led to this moment. It’s been the culmination of years of work at Xbox Studios. It was a great presentation. Overall, I really enjoyed what I saw there because it had something for everyone. For me, South of Midnight is something I’ll be playing day one on Game Pass.

It has taken Xbox years to reach this moment. It really is a significant step in their journey. I feel that the content probably has never been better. By the end of this year, we’re going to find out a lot more about the most important games on Xbox and how they’ve performed. Fable is also the big one for me, with a lot of promise. From a studio in Playground Games that never misses a beat.

I also liked the look of a third-party game from Sandfall Interactive. Another Game Pass title as well. This year could be set up to really be great for Xbox Game Pass subscribers just based on the overall consistency of the content they’ll be putting out there.

The big surprise? Ninja Gaiden. Making a significant showing as well. A great win also in it’s own right and a lot of diversity in the games on display. Dare we say it, this is just the start as well. It’s going to be a cracking year for Xbox fans and Game Pass subscribers. In an industry where people are not buying many games and affordability is put into question. We’re really getting a good deal from Team Green this year via subscription. That’s something that nobody in their right mind can deny.

The big one also was Doom. The big FPS returns to grace us in our continued fight against the elites in hell. Granted, I haven’t played the second game yet, but this reveal ticks all the right boxes in getting me to jump back into that world again.

Xbox is on the right path to shine this year, and it’s only looking like this is just the start of great things to come!
