In 2021, Microsoft's gaming division published games like Forza Horizon 5, Halo Infinite, Age of Empires 4, and Psychonauts 2. It was declaredthanks to its games receiving an average metascore of 87.4, helped also to the Xbox Series X port of Microsoft Flight Simulator releasing that year. While in 2022 Microsoft backed some well-received smaller games—Grounded, Pentiment, and As Dusk Falls—its biggest releases, Starfield and Redfall, were delayed into this year.
Spencer took the blame for this, adding,"our commitment to our fans is that we need to have a steady release of great games that people can play on our platform, and we didn't do enough of that in 2022, there's no doubt. And fundamentally, that's on me. I'm the head of the business." . Being shadow-dropped during the livestream was developer Tango Gameworks' own idea, Spencer said."They'd been playing the game, felt good about their launch date and some of the early signals on quality, and said, 'Hey, it would just be fun. It would just be fun to be able to launch this during the Developer Direct and say, 'Play it now.'' So we rolled with that.
Why does he always look constipated
There was more video game drama than video games themselves.
In other news, Ice is Cold
He is 100% accurate with that 2022 is one of the worst years in the last 2 decades of gaming.
Don't they say 'this is the best year for games' at every e3?
Lol it will never change . Their business is gamepass now. No inventive whatsoever to create games. They are the middle men. This is their business
with japanese failure of xbox one/ xbox series x and s
big talk from the Philmeister after that bullshit xbox/bethesda direct lmao
2023 is going to be more of the same most likely.
Not for playstation
I think he means 2023. I am feeling a bit scammed
This is just a set up. All companies had a light 2022 due to the pandemic, shuffling to remote development and more. Saying this now makes you look like a king when you release a few more titles compared to last year. Don't fall for it people.
Νο shit
Maybe Micro$oft should buy more companies so they can solve the problem.
2022 was AWFUL on games on Xbox.... 2023 will be sadly the same
For who?
My backlog and wallet are pretty happy about that though.
well the thing of I hear more is buying more studios doesnt give promise of focus game and studios they have and seems the issue of xbox and microsoft is the leadership what have showed on 343 industries case more
Just 2022?
He's (sorta) got a point ngl
The levels of cognitive dissonance you need to say this guy is good at his job is frankly breathtaking
Yup definitely light on Xbox exclusives but hopefully we will see more in 2023
Is he serious? only if he means Xbox first party games and even then Xbox had plenty of multiplatform games.
Realisation & enlightenment
Why does he look like the director of Jackass the movie(s)?
Elden Ring made the entire industry do a double take.
I miss your 'Five new Steam games you probably missed' series, found really cool new games through that
2023
What is.. “outside”?
22,21,20,19,18,17,16,15,16……………..
Pc gamer insulting their entire fan base.
I think it was just fine considering how expensive games are getting...
stop using this pic of him, I keep thinking he died
This take is a joke. Maybe it was light if you only played AAA moneygrab stuff.
2022 was light on games because they all got delayed until this year* *hopefully this year anyways…
What the fuck, PC Gamer. There are wild animals, other people and fresh air out there! You want to get us killed?!
Microsoft could also just manage to make more than one good game per year.
PC Gamer goes again being anti gamer, its not cool any more its not the 90's.
Yeah but Phil just fired a ton of people, so 2023 will have fewer games.
Did... did just tell us all to touch grass?
Never understand the reason of buying all those studios and still not able to make a decent game. Still not understand promising games at lunch 2 years ago and never talk about them ever again.
outside pffft the graphics are shit...
Honestly. Never underestimate the power of going for a walk. Clears your head and makes you feel better. Alao helps a lot when you for example get stuck in a difficult game.
Or, and hear me out. Just go into your Steam library and play one of literally dozens and dozens of games you have never played.
