There's been a lot of speculation over what the Xbox team might be preparing to reveal at The Game Awards 2020 this week, but GM of Xbox games marketing Aaron Greenberg has warned fans to "dial expectations down".
Taking to Twitter, Greenberg explained that Xbox will indeed have "a couple moments" in the show, but that the team won't be doing anything as outlandish as last year, when Xbox boss Phil Spencer unveiled the Xbox Series X.
Despite the Xbox exec's warning, we're still intrigued over what those "couple moments" might be, but it sounds like it won't be anything as crazy as an acquisition or anything like that - we've had enough of those for one year anyway!
Will we get a first look at what The Initiative is working on? Will the rumoured Halo x Fortnite crossover finally be officially announced? And will Psychonauts 2 and Flight Sim (for console) finally get release dates? Let's hope so...
What do you think Xbox might have in store for us at The Game Awards? Give us your thoughts below.

This is good advice at all times for everything.
I expected very little now I expect nothing atall of worth
I predict we're getting:
Flight Sim console (the Xbox Game Studios game for January - March 2021)
Psychonauts 2 trailer
Halo in Fortnite crossover
Outer Worlds 2nd DLC trailer
DOOM Eternal 2nd DLC trailer
@Medic_Alert when are they ever lol? But I do think MS is planning some kind of a road map reveal for the rest of 2021.
@Grumblevolcano I agree but I also think that there will be some Gamepass Announcements because all current ones end on 12/10.
I just want to know what The Initiative is working on.
XBox Series XXX announcement confirmed! With Halo Infinite and Gears 12 preinstalled, 16000 teraflops and all Sony and Nintendo exclusives coming to Gamepass
Not what i wanted to hear, I was hoping Xbox would bring it this year at the game awards..
I’ve made the jump this gen from PlayStation to Xbox. I’m absolutely loving my Series X so far but my question is, can Xbox really afford to say lower expectations. I mean if Sony bring Silent Hill or Metal Gear Solid remake, naturally Xbox players are going to ask where are our games of this Calibre? Xbox have some great games but 2021 is looking kinda bare from a first party perspective.
@Medic_Alert I hope you are right but considering the last look we had of Hellblade was a couple of location scouting videos only a couple of months ago I wouldn't be so sure.
@Medic_Alert super excited about the medium too
Last year was the first time I watched this show. And the last, it was SOOOO BORING!
I liked the Xbox Series X announcement, it's what started my return to the Xbox platform after a generation away, but the show itself was tortuous to watch.
This time, I'll just watch the inevitable collection of reveal trailers compiled by news sites, and spend the show time playing games.
Not surprising, the game awards is kind of a ridiculous concept and not exactly a massive event to announce all sorts of things at.
@mousieone I think general Game Pass ads will happen throughout the show kind of like those "Nintendo Switch has games" ads last year.
I had no expectations because you couldn't pay me to watch The Game Awards in the first place. I've tried, twice in fact, and I find the whole thing ridiculously pandering and embarrassing to my hobby of choice.
I'll wait for the YouTube highlights.
@Grumblevolcano Maybe. I’m just hoping they have a few surprises there
So what are people's thoughts? I don't know what perfect dark is but some are pretty pumped. Never played Ark either. I might try fortnight just to try and get the skin...but i might not. The Forza car is cool, all Yakuza games is interesting and let's not forget that Skyrim is coming Dec 15th!!!! Lol i had this for PS3 and it was slow as F! Can't wait to play it on the X!
