It sounds like Xbox’s lack of games should be coming to an end soon, as a lead dev at Xbox Game Studios has said that more than “a dozen,” games are in the works.
While Xbox Game Pass generally seems like it’s been a hit for Microsoft, the Xbox Series X has been quite severely lacking in big games. There was Halo Infinite , but it obviously struggled initially and hasn’t quite got its footing since then. Starfield has obviously been a massive success , but one strong game doesn’t make an impressive catalogue. But as spotted by wccftech , a recently shared talk from Xbox Game Studios’ Crystin Cox and Peter Wyse seems to suggest that quite a big number of games should be right around the corner.
Earlier this week, a talk held at GDC last March was shared to the Microsoft Game Dev YouTube channel, where Cox shared that there are over a dozen projects in the works across Xbox Game Studios. “So there are quite a lot of projects that we’re working on right now and we have over a dozen games that we are currently working on,” Cox said. “Every single one of those projects is totally unique and we approach them in a very bespoke way.”
Obviously we don’t know the full extent of what these titles might be, but it probably includes games like Obsidian Entertainment’s Avowed , Compulsion Games’ South of Midnight , and whatever that Hideo Kojima game ends up being .
Earlier this year, Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty also commented on the lack of Xbox exclusive releases , noting that with games like Hi-Fi Rush, and the at the time upcoming Starfield, Xbox had “turned the corner.” He went on to says that come 2024, “it really kicks into gear. We’ve got Towerborne, Hellblade, Avowed , Flight Simulator 2024, some other things we’ve maybe not talked about so far…” For the time being, though, we’ll just have to wait and see what the publisher announces.
