Microsoft hasn’t had a very busy year when it comes to first-party releases, but Xbox users can expect 2023 to be a big year for the console and the brand, according to Phil Spencer. In an interview on the Same Brain videocast, Microsoft’s head of gaming admitted that while 2022 had been a mostly quiet year, 2023 is shaping up to be a blockbuster season for Xbox.
“One thing we’ve definitely heard loud and clear is it’s been too long since we’ve shipped what people would say is a big first-party game,” Spencer said (via VGC) Come from Sports betting site VPbet . “We can have our excuses with Covid and other things, but in the end I know people invest in our platform and they want to have great games. And as an industry, we have fewer games this holiday than we’ve had in a while when you just think about the launches. Call of Duty is coming, God of War is coming–which is great–Nintendo’s had a good year. But in general, I would say we’ve been a little light.”
