Microsoft just loves playing with us, huh? Last year, the big secret was that Xbox boss Phil Spencer was hiding the Xbox Series S on his shelf months before it was announced, and most recently, the company included the all-new Xbox Wireless Headset in an Xbox Series X commercial - again, months before it was announced.
As a result, fans are wondering what else Microsoft might have been hiding in videos, and one Reddit user thinks they might have spotted teases hinting at some old Xbox franchises in last October's 'Xbox Series X Fridge trailer'.
As you can see, the games that appear on the banners in the background of the video are Xbox 360 racer Project Gotham Racing 4, Rare's Xbox 360 life simulation game Viva Pinata, and Microsoft Flight Simulator, which was given a Summer 2021 release date for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S back in December.
Ultimately, given the randomness of the three games, it doesn't look like there's anything worth reading into here, but who knows?! Could PGR finally make a comeback? Is Viva Pinata set to return? Let us know what you think below.

Viva Pinata making a return I can absolutely see. Project Gotham Racing though? Not a chance, unless they somehow make it significantly different than Forza Motorsport. The reason why the PGR series was around back in the day was because Microsoft didn't have an established racing franchise. I mean, PGR already had three installments when the first Forza Motorsport came out. Now that both Forza Motorsport and Horizon are dominating the racing scene on Xbox, I just can't see PGR returning.
I'd like to see PGR return - PGR2 was the best Racing game of that generation. Whether it would with Forza though, I don't know...
Couldn't care less about Viva Pinata myself but it makes more sense. MS haven't got many 'child friendly' games...
Can't see there being a new PGR game, since Forza is soo good and next motorsport version has been kinda shown. Rebrand maybe? Flight simulator is def coming out. Did viva pinata do that well previously to warrant a new version?
I have to agree with LTSarge and Nexozi unless PGR is an entirely different game I don't see how it can co-exist with Forza and Forza Horizon
I hope that Viva Piñata comes back!
I'd kill for a new PGR. absolutely love that series. It's nothing like Forza... all about those sweet kudos...
Forza leans toward sim. Forza Horizon is an open world racer where crashing gets you points. PGR sat in between back in the day with somewhat arcade action on closed circuit or street circuit road racing and it was exciting. I absolutely feel that PGR could co exist quite easily with the Forza games and I'd definitely throw my money at it.
PGR was and is a great racing game i like it more then forza Motorsport by a lot and even like it better then horizon..would kill for a new PGR
