Xbox had to make amends with its fans. After a very complicated first half of 2024, marked by the closures of Tango Gameworks and Arkane Austin, the great brand “X“had the mission to do justice to the gaming debate. What we can say is that the Xbox Games Showcase managed to prove to us that the American company is indeed a major manufacturer/publisher in the industry. Phil Spencer, Matt Booty and Sarah Bond did what was necessary to honor the occasion: 30 games were presented with in-game sequences and gameplay excerpts. Including 17 software from first-party studios and 18 titles that will be released on the first day in Game Pass

Of course, Xbox has put on good conferences in the past, but this year’s was more than just good, it was exceptional. Above all, it helped prove that the green ogre, with the Bethesda and Activision Blizzard teams in its family, now had all the cards to achieve a goal announced five years ago.by Matt Booty: the goal of releasing at least one major first-party game every quarter. Just look at this end-of-year jam with Indiana Jones, Age of Mythology: Retold, Avowed, Ara, Towerbone and Flight Simulator 2024 to see how much the situation has changed compared to a year or two ago. We would have thought that Microsoft would be discreet after this conference. But this is not the case, the American giant has announced that it will be present at gamescom.
