Trainz Simulator World Tour and Sonic Crossworlds mainly. Plus a little bit if ESO.

@TheGameThrifter
Exactly.
The next generation will be very interesting. If Xbox continues with the multi platform route then I think their future will be a publisher only. It makes no sense to buy an Xbox when you can play the same games on PS6 plus Sonys exclusives.
Unless Sony go multi platform too.?
But the winning platforms this gen are the ones with exclusives.

This is the beta I'll be playing this weekend.

This is a good idea that makes sense.

However we all know big companies seem to make terrible decisions that no sense whatsoever and yet they continue to make huge profits.
So what do we know?

At the end of the day they just care about £££££'s & $$$$$'s

Fair selection for the price tag.
I'm happy.

Unnecessary.
These games are regularly in weekly sales at next to nothing prices.
Just last week I decided to downgrade to the lowest Gamepass tier.
I thought to myself I have more than enough games to play from the sales and I have a huge backlog to get through.
I don't need eaplay. I don't need ubisoft plus. Just need online access and a maybe a few games. So I downgraded.

I'm so glad I did.

Thought it was a bit pointless as a showcase. Should have just had separate reveals.
I couldn't quite understand what was meant by , ' the fastest growing region for Xbox'?
Surely that's got to mean pc and not console judging by the weekly Japanese charts via gematsu.com.
Tgs highlights for me so far are Sega reveals and Tiny Metal 2.

@RBRTMNZ
I like the 1 AAA TITLE, 1 AA Title per month strategy myself.
However, with so many releases these days, it's very competitive out there.

Surely at least 1 shadow drop at tgs 25.
Hopefully Project Diva or, even more of a long shot, Tiny Metal 3!

Although a good selection this week, I'll be too busy with the Sonic Racing Crossworlds test this weekend.

Yes yes yes, !!!
YES!!!!

It's a , 'wait and see ', from me.

This a step in the right direction and will prove to be useful.
Now please add a publisher tab/search/directory and I will be very happy.
Thank you in advance.

Think it's too late for this gen now.
Could of a had few series S editions in the early days but they've missed the boat.
Got to look forward now.

@Kaloudz

I have to agree with you. While many gamers were not very happy with the Xbox going multiplatform situation, myself included, I can understand and appriciate that times are changing. The video game industry like so many other media / enterainment industries has to adapt and evolve to survive.
When I look to the japanese weekly charts I can see Playstations and thier games outselling Xbox by thousands. However both Switch and Switch 2 outsell Playstation by tens of thousands.

If these figures are a similar pattern around the world, and I don't know if they are, it wont belong before Playstation is in trouble unless they change strategy.

I would welcome Playstation to Xbox and Im looking forward to any news direct from Sony.

Everybody's Golf please.
To start with anyway.

@NishimuraX
I disagree with you slightly.
As well we all know some games will sell more than others. Whether or not this is going to be a good seller is yet to be determined.
I'm hoping it sells well enough for PlayStation publishing to consider publishing more tiles on Xbox in the future

Disappointing?
Yes.
Never really found out what sort of game this was going to be!?

I moved from being a dedicated 20 years plus, nintendo player because Xbox attracted me with their showcases. At first I was amazed by the quality of their games and their products and simply couldn't believe why I hadn't moved over sooner.

And although I still think gamepass is a fantastic service, I keep getting the feeling that microsoft are pushing me more towards PlayStation with each passing month.

They are losing their way and keep making errors.
I'm so sorry for those talented people in these uncertain times and wish you all success in the future. Thank you for all your hard work.

For me it's Doom The Dark Ages , followed by Monster Train 2 and South of Midnight.

Some fresh original exclusive games would be nice.

@rhyno_888
Compulsion are a very talented team.
They are a major asset to the Xbox game studios family and deserve not to be shut down. South of Midnight is very good and will probably go multi platform some time in the future.

This is awful for the employee's reading stories like this.
I think it is down to too much choice in this day and age.
To much of media, gaming, movies, tv etc. Go back 30 years. we'd be lucky to have 6 game releases in a week.
These days are like 6 a day.
It's just impossible to sell everything to everyone. This is a shame because some absolutely marvellous titles in gaming and tv have lost due to oversaturated markets. Too much choice, not enough time or money.

Good news!
I love Survivors type games.

I think and hope that more pc-centric titles should be much easier to release on the next Xbox. With the closer ties to Windows, probably starting with Xbox Ally and progress from there.

I do have a question though. Why can't Xbox console play pc gamepass games via cloud , i.e., streaming?

One of the highlights of the show for me.
Can't wait to give it a go!

@RetroMan71

I like that idea!
Similar idea to basketball time limits.
The devs should give that a go and see how it works.

It's ok.
But there's work to do. For me it's the camera and fine tuning the controls.

As for the other problems mentioned I'm not sure what the devs can do to improve the experience other than implement AI controlled players.
Player skills levels seemed to mismatch. I stopped playing Rocket League after years because of this reason.

Hopefully they can turn this game around from ok to amazing.

It will not be a day one purchase.
I want one and I'm willing to buy one, but I'll have to wait for reviews and see some gameplay.
I been caught out a few times in the past where my excitement got the better of me. Eg Sega 32x, Dreamcast, Wii U.

I think this is a good idea for Series S owners.
There are bargains to be had with a physical editions but Series S owners are currently excluded from.
Also if this is the future, it will mean that collectors editions will be more relevant to Series S owners also.

Yea I'm hoping for between £500 -£600 for the base model.
If that's the case then I'm pretty much sold.
Apart from the nintendo exclusives it's making switch 2 looking a little out date already. Does anyone else think this could do well for Xbox in Japan?

@themightyant
Thank you. Very helpful.
Waiting on the price now.

Thanks Fraser.
It's looking good so far. Just waiting on the price now.

I have a few questions as I have never owned a handheld pc.
So will it be pc gamepass as opposed to Xbox gamepass?
Will you be able to playstation games via other store fronts?
Does it hook up to tv /monitor, and if so, what will the resolution be?
How does the power of this machine compare to Xbox series consoles?

B from me.
Best show of the week.
I wanted more updates and release dates of games already announced years ago.
However a much more varied showcase which pleased me with a few highlights.
Want to know more about Xbox Ally.

SGF was a C for me. Sonic Crossworlds and Mixtape interested me most, along with a couple of other game announcements.

I'm pleased for RE fans for their reveal at the end. I liked the,
'more news in a blink of an eye' tagline.
I thought Sonys state of play was their best for a while.

But I do have high hopes for Xbox tomorrow. Let's hope they don't give all their games away everywhere, all at once and at least have timed exclusives for for the Xbox fans.

I'm thinking Crackdown 4, Halo Tactics or Gears Tactics 2.
Quite likely a remaster and a brand new IP, a square enix title or two and probably a limited edition controller.

I can't wait either.
Game Pass is knocking out of the park this year!!!
So many games not enough time to play them all. I was loving Balatro and Doom The DARK Ages. The suddenly drops Monster Train 2 and then Space Marine announced for June. Along with soooo many others.
How on earth PS5 is outselling XBOX lord knows?
Xbox is ruling 2025 for me.
We still have the June showcase to come.

Great Skulls showcase!
This and Xbox June showcase are my favourites of the year.
Space Marine on Game Pass is the icing on a very delicious cake.

I would love A Cubic Odyssey demo.
I've been watching YT videos for this game. I just can't decide but it looks good.

@SuntannedDuck2

Hopefully if this is a success on XBOX , the other titles will follow.

It's about time!!
I thought Xbox was going to lose out once again after the recent announcements.
I've loved Ridge Racer since original arcade release all those years ago. You know when Namco and SEGA were kings of the arcade.
Great soundtrack too. Still listen to CD now and again.
RRRRRIIIDDDGGEE RRRRAAACCEERR!!!
Hoping Hamster Corp bring more titles from this Golden age of arcade. Tekken, Soul Edge and many more.

Raystorm HD collection please.
And the newer Puzzle Bobble titles please.
Thank you, my money is waiting.

Very much looking forward to boarding Monster Train 2. Loved the original game.

Looking foward to Towerborne and trying Anno 1800.

You know what? I always wonder if Microsoft actually produced special edition Series S consoles based on some of their biggest franchises, would they sell a few more consoles?

Being the cheaper option surely a special edition machine would desirable by genaral consumers and collectors. I'd prefer to buy those over Series X Wraps.

Xbox needs Everybody's Golf!!!!

@Residentsteven
Might be old fashioned but I like it.
Very convenient imo.

I would love Monster Train 2 to shadow drop onto GP.

Just Finished Dragon Age The Veilguard.
102 hours of gaming goodness.
The last 5 hours or so were amazing. Best game I have played in along time and worth every penny.
Shame about the dodgy reviews. Think they have contributed to poor sales figures. It's not a masterpiece it has faults. It is close though.
