Pretty good PK. Didn't expect MS to have that much to show.

Captain Spirit, Session, DyingLight 2, DMC5 and Cyberpunk 2077 surely got my attention.
Iirc at least the MS exclusives should be available on PC as well via Xbox Game Pass.

Jump Forces sounds great as an idea, but that art style was... subpar to cel-shading.

One problem with the Xbox con. Most of the games are 5 to 12 months away at the earliest. New Xbox consoles are far into development as well as Xbox cloud gaming. So glad fallout 76 is a full game, not the sims taking place in a vault like many thought!

Unfortunately, I missed some stuff. I think I seen mostly everything base on this thread tho.

At least a 7. Like how Pop is trying to be like Lego now.

I don't think I seen many people here, talking about Fallout 76. Also, all the studios they bought.

Cyberpunk 2077 and Jump Force was pretty hype for me. Like Tales games, but don't know anything about Vesperia specifically. Not sure about DMC5.
Tunic seems interesting.

I think they should have at least waited one more year, before officially announcing that they are working on the next console.

The new halo is gonna be on pc and i'm looking foreword to it!
As long as it's not a Battle Royale game, sure. They didn't show any gameplay.

Also no gameplay, so nothing really to talk about. Maybe in Beth's conference.

I don't think they will go that far right off the bat but i can see them adding it in a new update for the game though. I'm just happy its coming to windows 10. I switched from xbox to pc at the start of this year so I was hoping i did not have to buy a new xbox just to play the new halo and it seems like i will not have to now.
