The big day for Xbox is here. Microsoft is gearing up to showcase what players can expect to see on the upcoming Xbox console--the Xbox Series X--when it launches later this year and brings us into a new gaming generation. We'll be seeing first-party games, including Halo Infinite, so be sure to check the show out when it goes live at 9am PT/12pm ET/5pm BST. As always, if you can't tune in, or you'd rather see the highlights, we'll be covering the event live, so you can easily keep up to date on all the important announcements and reveals.

Here we go. A new teaser for Halo Infinite shows it takes place in 2560. Holiday 2020 launch still. Gameplay shown as well. This is our first look at the campaign. This world is larger than both Halo 4 and 5's combined. "Flawless 60fps". Multiplayer will be seen in the future.

After all the flak they got at the last showing with all their "in-engine" trailers, you'd think they would have showed more gameplay. I guess a lot of their games aren't coming out as soon as we thought

some showcase! nearly all the games they showed are MULTIPLAT. ZERO reason to even own an xbox :rofl2:
I mean IF those multiplats play better on it than PS5 then I guess that could count as a point for getting the Xbox. Really though, xbox has never really been the exclusive games system imo. They should just make sure to be the best place to play multiplats so that Sony can have its advantage being inhouse studios making exclusices.

Personally I'd be fine with just Banjo duo in 120fps and UHD, which is very feasible. Heck 240fps should be possible if porting the game a la SM64 PC port. They should've just capitalized on that now that Banjo is sort of back in people's minds/familiar to younger people after his Smash inclusion. Oh well. Time to realise that I'm not the target audience for Xbox.

At least people got the Fable sequel they've been going on about. I'm a bit surprised though since I can only remember Fable 3 getting terrible reviews at the time, and me deciding not to buy it to play it cooperatively due to that.

It was a good showcase overall. Enjoyed the chat with the xbots.

I was unimpressed with halo infinite, blown away by Grounded super stoked for the announcements of stalker 2 and that one obsidian rpg.

But yes most of these will be timed exclusives and some will arrive on pc at the same time.


I gave halo infinite gameplay a chance and watched it for the 2nd time.
And atleast they kept the gameplay and shooting faithful. Ill probably get the console just for Forza

and play it until my 1080gtx goes out of style and have to build another gaming pc with a 3080rtx

I do enjoy the play anywhere of Forza series currently on the PC.

Stalker 2 got revealed? i thought it was revealed last year sometime. That's my most anticipated game and it only got one short line! So what, they just said it's real then moved on to talk about other games?

I really hope it lives up to the legacy of the old series. Roadside Picnic is a great book BTW. You can tell how it inspired the games.
