Microsoft disclosed a batch of new titles for Xbox at the World’s Premier Video Game Trade show, including award-winning sensation “Hades” and long-time hit “Halo”. The Xbox maker revealed 30 new games coming to its console, which in November will celebrate two decades on the market.
“Our team strives to make Xbox a place where you’ll find the greatest games, the most dedicated developers, and the most passionate community,” Unit Chief Phil Spencer said during a streamed event on Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). Microsoft revealed a coming take of beloved “Halo”, along with new creations such as the science-fiction action title “Starfield” and a vampire-battling adventure called “Redfall” from Bethesda Softworks. Microsoft recently acquired Bethesda Softworks, the maker of hits including “Fallout” and “Elder Scrolls.”
Microsoft said that all but a few would be available for play at its subscription Xbox Game Pass service. The company also highlighted titles that will be exclusive to Xbox, which competes with rival consoles Sony PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. Award-winning “Hades” from San Francisco-based Supergiant is coming to Xbox as well as PlayStation, the independent studio said Sunday.
The line-up of new titles comes as Microsoft works on software and a plug-in device to let people play Xbox video games on internet-linked televisions without the need for consoles. “As a company, Microsoft is all-in on gaming,” Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella said in introducing the plan last week.
