Digital Foundry : Summer Game Fest! Xbox Games Showcase! The Digital Foundry crew has convened to cover both events, reacting to the major game announcements and developments.
I think everyone was really expecting to see the handheld at the showcase. I have a feeling they're not ready to show it because they're waiting on newer chips from AMD. It'll need a beefy mobile GPU/CPU to play these games. If I had to guess, it'll launch alongside Gears of War: E-Day and have a special launch edition.
If they can launch something like the Steam Deck but with the Xbox UI and a lightweight, gaming-focused version of Windows, it could be a real contender in that space. Especially if they can adopt some of the modularity of the Elite controllers. Easily swap sticks, triggers, buttons, custom shells, etc.
IGN : This year’s Ubisoft Forward didn’t have much in the way of surprises, but it did have a ton of gameplay of two games that we’ll actually get to play in just a few months, Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Outlaws in particular looks like a game we’ve been waiting our whole lives for, an open-world sandbox that lets us explore the grimiest corners of the most wretched hives of scum and villainy. It’s a premise we almost got in Star Wars 1313 and Amy Hennig and Visceral’s Project Ragtag, but both those got canceled. Unlike some past Ubisoft gameplay demonstrations, what we’ve seen of Outlaws seems like it’ll actually be representative of the game that’s coming out in August, so here’s hoping it delivers.

That's a pretty small pool of players to try and flog Gamepass to
Geez.
That's almost a solid 4:1 ratio in favor of the PS5 compared to Xbox. In just the fourth year of the console generation.
xbox series x/s doing worse than xbox one. No wonder they release their games everywhere now.
Bye Xbox. DO Let the door hit you on the way out.
It's a shame what's happening to Xbox. I was genuinely a big fan during the 360 days. Didn't like the end of it didn't like the start of Xbox one. The fans did well voicing displeasure about the DRM stuff and the kinect rubbish.
But after that I see plenty of people especially on n4g but also Facebook, x, verious gaming forums go from wanting Xbox to be better and challenging Microsoft to their BS. To becoming a bunch of yes boys. Phill couldn't do any wrong in there eyes and if you dare say anything bad about Xbox you where labeled a other console fanboy.
