If there's one thing we're still waiting on ahead of the release of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S on November 10th, it's more details and raw gameplay footage for the games that are coming out at launch.
Fortunately, it looks like we'll be getting that very soon, as confirmed by GM of Xbox Games Marketing Aaron Greenberg in an Xbox Wire report earlier today, teasing it for later in October:
"We’ll be sharing even more details on every game being fully optimized this holiday for the launch of Xbox Series X|S later this month, as well as showing more gameplay from these titles, so stay tuned for more."
It remains to be seen whether Microsoft will unveil more Xbox Series X|S launch titles later this month than the selection we already know about, but Greenberg has previously suggested that the Series X will have over 100 titles available this holiday, with 60 of those being brand-new next-gen games.
Which Xbox Series X|S games do you still want to know more about? Let us know down below.

Well ofcourse you are going to show some next-gen gameplay which even Dealer has confirmed from his sources. But please avoid that absolute cringe Geoff Keighley and any of his events.
Sony won’t show the UI and MS doesn’t want to show gameplay of next-gen games.
I have a feeling both companies have October Showcases planned ...
@Senua
I agree! I can’t stand Geoff Keighley. He is like that fake douche who hosted all of those reality shows.....Ryan Seacrest, I think his name is?
@mousieone I’m more interested to see the full transparent naked hardware breakdown that Digitalfoundry has done with Series X back in Feb than some UI fakery smoke and mirrors.
It’s very odd that we have not seen gameplay yet. When Xbox One and PS4 were announced we saw gameplay for next gen titles a year before they came out. This has been a strange lead up to launch.
I'm actually looking forward to Gears Tactics coming to console next month..
@Senua It’s not really about that though. Yeah, and in-depth look would be awesome but DF still has the preview unit. I assume as the layered embargo lifts; that will come. It’s just given the sizeable amount of information left on the table; it feels like another event. And considering pre orders have already happened, odd.
@Medic_Alert agreed.
@Bmartin001 me too! Will be one of the first games I play on the X for sure.
@mousieone “DF still has the preview unit” Now see that’s a speculation and honestly no one expect them anymore to have same level of confidence with hardware transparency.
@Senua oh your talking about the PS5 “breakdown”. Sorry, I didn’t get that first. When I said “Preview Unit” I meanT the Series X, DF still has it.
@Luigi_Skywalker Well you know that once they show gameplay, people are going to be upset because it's not mindblowing. When in all reality, the first year or two of a console launch doesn't even take full advantage of the new console's capabilities anyway. Maybe they're trying to reduce the negativity online from people who don't understand that?
Meanwhile, Sony will show us footage of Ratchet's change to a gerbil's face design, and how much we'll have to pay for the 60fps version of R&C PS4.
We'll also get shaky cam blurry shots from somewhere in China of what may or may not be a tri-wing screw on the back of a Dual Sense. Could be fake though.
We've seen "gameplay" of x1 games. We haven't seen "gameplay" of xsx games yet, probably because none exist yet and gameplay embargoes likely still apply to the third party titles. Didn't they show some Gears 5 before though?
Looking forward to getting a few previews of what we can expect.
I think the problem with releasing game footage for this gen is to make sure it looks sufficiently better to what we've had before.
MS have talked a lot about 60 fps & 120 fps, the very low latency between controllerconsole, and (as with ps5) the SSD. But very hard to actually show that on the web (stills or videos)
The only thing to really go all out on on, demo wise, is ray tracing, and it better be good enough to stand up to to fair bit of analysis (like the latest Spider-Man game was by DF and others).
Remember in the early days of 3D games when specular lighting became a thing? the bleeding effect was everywhere on everything in every game, even whenever it was not really needed.
Saying almost jokingly that ray tracing will be the same as that effect - it will all look very nice, don't get me wrong, but is going to be shoved down our throats at every opportunity
And that's because that will be be the visual thing for screenshots to show how much worthwhile this generation actually is.
@Bmartin001
I can’t wait for Gears Tactics! I love how Microsoft offers so many different genres with their 1st party.
This launch feels the strangest because it's tough to get a straight answer as to what is and what isn't a Series X title. I get they're using the "optimized for Series..." branding, but still. Just give me a list of games launching on November 10th, that's all I ask.
@IsThatATitleist3 I had considered that. Also, I believe a lot of the improvements this generation will be in places you can’t necessarily show in a trailer. Like larger worlds and better AI. Better frame rates and load times and draw distances don’t play as nicely in a sizzle reel.
Are games that are already released for the series x going to be considered launch titles or is “pre launch” going to be a thing
