2025 | Xbox Games Showcase June 8th (10am PT // 1pm ET // 6pm UK)

Everything was PS5.

I'm having a hard time wondering why anyone not investing in consoles, yet, would go with Xbox over PS5 (outside of Gamepass)...but I guess that's the point?

They made a trailer not look like COD for 90 seconds to make it look more interesting. That must tell them something I'd have thought.
 
and for my ps5 pro as well.

And the almighty powerhouse of gaming, PC!

Three Xbox showcases in one week! So awesome 😎
 
Next year looks MUCH better for my tastes. Gears of War E-Day, Fable, and likely a new Forza. Obsidian's games are boring IMO so all the hype about this being some amazing year for Xbox falls flat for me.
 
For the quantity of studios Xbox right now has this showcase was a very mid.

Specially since there are other games announced in the last couple of years that are pretty much a no-show, like Perfect Dark and Gears.

Where are whose? I mean, COD was just the showcase opener in the PS3/360 era, now it's the big and final surprise reveal?
Expect it to get worse in the next few years. Their studios are blowing their loads real quick.
 
Lots of games, lots of them interesting, and lots of Gamepass DAY ONE... but they haven't shown any of the BIG ones...

Phil mentioned that Gear E Day, the new Forza, Fable, and others will be on the 25th anniversary... Maybe at upcoming events?
 
Well. That was something...

Honestly, I really felt like that presentation well and truly blurred the lines between what is "Xbox" , what's on GamePass Day 1, and what's just some generic third-party product.

All I took from of it is that MS' future is generic, radioactive green.

Also, who sequenced that showcase? Anyone? It just felt completely random.

I'm kinda lost for words.
 
Good Showcase if you own a PS5/XSX (which i do) and a PC (which i also now do) but for anyone who like me owns multiple-platforms i saw nothing that makes me want to play any of the games on my XSX. I would rather just buy the games on PS5 or Steam.

That is the problem with MS making 99% of their 1st party titles multi-platform. There is really no reason (Gamepass isn't a reason imo) to buy or continue to own a XSX. After this showcase i am even more glad i got myself a gaming PC (9800x3D with a 5070TI).
 
Quantity over quality sums up that show to me

I'm getting so tired of games announced 4 or 5 years ago that still don't have release dates and substantial gameplay previews. And actual gameplay. Not mock-ups. I sat through that presentation like a moron fully expecting a big Perfect Dark trailer. That is the one game coming from XGS that I've been waiting on.
 
Obsidian is so fucking boring to me. They release 1 good game and they get sucked off until the end of time *rollseyes*

Did they announce any SW2 games outside of Tony Hawk?

The comment about "with us from the beginning" is the part that piqued my interest. The only thing I can think of Halo and PGR.
 
Ill give the show an 7/10. Too much filler, but what was good looked good.

Final Fantasy FINALLY came to Xbox....when it will likely bring in next to no revenue.
 
There were some interesting games, but it still feels like half a show. Where are SoD 3, Everwild, Perfect Dark, Gears E-Day, Fable ? Everything just vanished again, i'm not passionate about this anymore but still fuck them.

Eco system mostly, Xbox now is having a handheld and all games are starting to be Xbox Play anywhere (easily one of Xbox's best features) means I can just carry my save on PC or switch back to Xbox etc without losing progress
 
Holy Jesus.




That I did not expect. I expected him to say the show was great....and I would have agreed.



Would have been a 10/10 for him if he was stalking Sarah Bond outside a BestBuy, I reckon.


Outer Worlds 2 looks really good.

They seem to be going a lot more in on player and RPG customization.

It's shaping up nicely.

I REALLY hope the comment in OW2 showcase about not needing outside consulting was a dig at Sweet Baby Inc.

I doubt it....

If that is the case, then I will fucking buy it day 1.
 
Man all these shows had 2 or 3 actual interesting games, rest was a slop. All 3 shows sucked.

XBS=SoP>>>SGF

Where the fuck is perfect dark?
 
Before the COD trailer he said "The return of a classic that has been with us since the beginning."

That has to be the rumored Halo CE remake right?
