Obsidian was up next and showed off a few existing games including a DLC pack for The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon. Ori and the Will of the Wisps are getting an upgrade for the Series X, which makes sense as already this is one of the best looking games to come out on this generation and it’s going to be playable in 120 FPS and 4K resolution. Tell Me Why was shown briefly, which looked very nice indeed. ![]() This was the only showing from Rare, we didn’t see anything from Banjo Kazooie or Perfect Dark which was a shame. We didn’t get too many clues as to what the focus of Rare’s next title will be. It looks absolutely stunning, this is an exploration and nature game although we don’t really know what the game is. The game looks great and maybe the number being dropped from the title indicates more of a live service game Forza Motorsport was also shown although the number was dropped from the title. State of Decay 3 was then shown in a surprise announcement, which looked very cool. We didn’t hear anything about a battle royale, but that map certainly looked big enough to have 100 Spartans running around on it. We only got to see campaign gameplay though, multiplayer footage will be revealed later on. It looked and sounded like Halo, going back to its roots with a classic Combat Evolved feel but the gameplay didn’t look very innovative. The trailer as a package was very cool indeed, however, I have to say I wasn’t blown away. There was a mix of classic weapons in there, no sign of the Needler at this point in time, and there was also the grappling hook which allowed Chief to attack as well as traverse the environment. We then got to see a demo with Chief exploring what looked like an open-world style map with waypoints. The opening trailer saw Master Chief being put back together in an emotional and nostalgic trailer with the classic Halo music, it kind of brought a tear to my eye (I spent so much time playing Halo 2 and 3 in the 2000’s so shout out to Middleton Road and my Halo brothers). We started with Halo Infinite and we finally got to see campaign gameplay. ![]() This does open up some fundamental questions about the Xbox, and the need to actually own an Xbox Series X console, but we’ll get into that later on. This is pretty huge and that means we’re going to be all Xbox flagship titles if you subscribe to Game Pass. There was an important announcement at the beginning where we were told every game shown was going to be available on day 1 on Xbox Game Pass. The following is a review of the Xbox Series X Games Showcase. I did some predictions earlier in the week, so let’s see how I did. The line up for Xbox Series X and Game Pass is starting to take shape. Microsoft held their first-party event this past Thursday and revealed a whole bunch of new and returning games.
