game news “Xbox has no games”: Microsoft admits its mistakes and formulates a clear situation. But things will change soon
A month ago, some players on forums and social networks predicted the death of Xbox after the frantic launch of Redfall. Today, after a successful conference, the American manufacturer can feel its wings growing.
If you are used to seeing the comments on our news or reading the messages of certain Twitter users on social networks, you probably know the famous phrase “Xbox has no games” is listed every time an article about the American manufacturer is published. This is in part due to a 2022 with few major initial releases and a first half of 2023 marred by the release of a disappointing Redfall.
While’a round table Titled “What’s Next For Gaming” following the Microsoft conference, Xbox Studios boss Matt Booty admitted that it “defects” in 2022 at the pace of publications. Nevertheless, he ensures that the planning problems are now behind us. He assures that Xbox teams “Francs per guy” regarding the regular supply of video gamesand plans to release four major games per year. If that goal reminds you of anything, that’s only to be expected, since Matt Booty first made that promise in 2019.”So far I’m very proud that we’ve released some of the best games of this generation. Forza Horizon 5, Psychonauts 2 or games like Pentiment” he explained. “In 2024 we will really step on the gas. We’ll have Towerborne, Hellblade 2, Avowed, Flight Simulator 2024 and other things we haven’t talked about yet‘ adds the head of Microsoft Game Studios.
When we were here a year ago, we visited inXile and played Clockwork Revolution on the console. It was really great to see them showing off what they were working on. For inXile, for Compulsion, for Obsidian… these were the first games they showed (…) which started as members of the company after the acquisition. And it’s great to see them! It’s all part of our goal of playing at least four games a year, which we’ve talked about a lot. Matt Booty, Patron of Xbox Studio
