Forbes: We are heading toward an entirely unique time in the history of Xbox, one that combines a variety of classic first party IPs with new ones acquired through massive studio purchases.
As such, I believe that if everything goes according to plan, this could be the most promising single year of Xbox ever, if we’re measuring from November 2021 to November 2022.
Halo Infinite has spilt screen PvP, but it's still missing another classic multiplayer feature that should be completed before Halo 7.
Starfield's recent player spike is a good sign, but Bethesda desperately need to line up their Cyberpunk 2077 moment.
I feel like the second big update that releases late this year will do just that. Part of the story expansion is also new means of transportation on planets.
What player spike?
I checked steamcharts through the link in the article and it went from 8,000 to 11.500, so yea 20% but when the game peaked at 330,000 It's safe to say that the actual effect of this update was negligible.
Doubt it'll ever get redemption. As many developers have said in various interviews it's beyond saving.
Just release the mod tools and expansion and move on.
Cyberpunk 2077 had some strong bones i disliked it on launch because I could see the potential I could see the strengths of what they wanted to achieve but it wasn't done yet
Starfield fans are asking Bethesda to introduce mech piloting to the game after it teaser "major features" on the horizon.
They didn't get the memo the game is dead and the Bethesdabots only want magic and fantasy.
Starfield fans? The game only has 9 thousand current players, worldwide! As a company you cannot waste time on creating "Major features", it is simply not profitable. Just move on.
This was totally pointless lol. I guess these 'journalists' need to write something weekly to get paid.
Nov21-Nov22? It’s possible.
No that happened back when Halo 3 launched that's when Xbox brand was at the strongest. Their E3 was interesting but there's a lot of unknown and their biggest game in(2021) Halo infinite doesn't even have a release date yet. I really hope we do get back to those Xbox 360 versus PS3 days because that's when both companies were competing and releasing awesome games and we as gamers had amazing experience
Competition is very healthy thing especially when it comes to gaming industry if we want these companies to try harder to earn our time/money/attention. I am so ready for the days when we could have PlayStation and Xbox exclusives up for game of the Year awards that's when you know the quality is there
After 8 years of "wait till next E3" this is still going on? Why not judge based on what actually does release after such a long time.
Xbox one was ruined by Don Mattrick but now that he's been fired/replaced the Xbox can finally get back to where it was during the 360 era: the best selling console with the best features, best multiplatform games and great exclusives.
Xbox 360 had better multiplatform games compared to PS3 (the cell processor was a problem for non-Sony devs) so almost all multiplatform games ran worse and were lower resolution on PS3. All the valve games many EA games, the bethesda games etc. were 720p and had slowdown. Now a few of the next gen games are also higher res on series x compared to ps5 which already gives it a slight edge.
Third party games are arriving day one on game pass also. Why pay Sony $70 for MLB the Show or Back 4 Blood when you can play them om launch day on game pass?
The deisgn of the ps5 is also oversized and unsightly which is definitely not a selling point. The color and the curved design were terrible deicisons.
Also tired of the push for single player only exclusives from sony. Almost no co op op multi in any of there AAA exclusives for PS4 and same so far for PS5. No thanks.
