Was the Xbox One Summer Spotlight a success?

Neil writes "The Summer Spotlight on Xbox One saw a whole ton of new games added to the Xbox One Games Store on a fairly regular basis. But did the addition of numerous titles each week ensure that the quality picked up just as much as the quantity?"

Plenty of variety meant there was something for everyone.

Agree, just as the article says, "Overall though and the Spotlight was a huge success."

I image the Xbox One Summer Spotlight can be partially credited with the recent GameStop statement about the X1 selling twice as much as the 360.

Well done; now I'm really enjoying what has been released and what will be released in the lead-up to the Holidays.

I have quite a few of those:

Megaman
Rarer replay
velocity 2x
Smite
toy soldiers ( I have all the TS games, the firs tow are on BC on my XB1 aswell)
Nova 111
Dont starve

But batring in mind that I got my XB1 in april, the games that have taken up most of my time this year has been FH2, FM5, halo:MCC ,titanfall, Bf4, neverwinter, gears, elite and smite. And Ill be playing forza 6 in 4 days!

Wow, that's a decent number of games you've got yourself since April. Enjoy them!

Thats not even all the games I own ;) Games like velocity are quite cheap. I remember picking up lifeless planet on XB1 for something like seven pounds. I just keep my eye on the XBL sales, is all. You can spend 25 quid in one month and end up with 4 descent games. Its the deals man! Never winter and smite are f2P, but I have easily spent £100 pounds on neverwinter. Smite was so good, I had to get the founders pack. was only 25 quid anyway. And thats not bad for a game that has seen more playtime than some AAA games I have owned.

That's nice, you can just torrent the PC version it's still up with seeds 😀 You can delist anything you want don't care I can always get it and keep it forever 🤣

A shame, I have it on PS4, so I can always re-download it. But this is another reason why the "all digital future" is going to be awful. Disputes and licenses running out is bad for gaming preservation. And so really the only option in the future is piracy. Sucks it has to be that way, but that's the way it goes.

Digital “future”

How can anyone defend this?

Looking back to 2015 and the Time Capsule that was Rare Replay

As an Xbox website, it would be remiss to say that the Xbox One has had its’ detractors this generation. After stumbling about with their Xbox One reveal a few years before, Microsoft and their gaming brand were in a period of transition. But Rare Replay had another trick up its sleeve to appeal to a core Xbox audience. Their announcement promised 30 games priced at £20, with 10000 Gamerscore. It was an achievement hunters wet dream.
