I feel like I've been waiting for forever for this to come to fruition. Really want them to hit that stride like the early 360 days again.
Couldn't help but think the same thing haha - people just need to be patient and expect almost all big news to come around E3 or Game Awards time each year.
Haha, that made me laugh. It would be kinda surprising if there ever is a Windows 11, as Microsoft would be walking back on Windows 10 being the final/only version of Windows. Also, the Windows event sounds new. Usually they show off new updates at Build. I wonder if there is something substantial, or they're just taking a different approach with it. I saw rumors of an update called Windows Sun Valley, but it seems to just be UI/UX, and they also have Windows 10X coming for lower powered machines.
This will be about the platforms Xbox has which is Game Pass, xCloud (expect PC/iOS), etc...
1 new game announcement.
Updates on some third party titles that they already talked about in their Xbox Wire article last month
Release date on Psychonauts 2, Grounded 1.0, and Microsoft Flight Sim for Xbox.
Welcoming Zenimax to Xbox and what it means to have them apart of the Xbox family.

I think late Spring/early Summer is a more realistic time frame. Not only is this the traditional e3 window, but the Waypoint articles have been laid out for March and April (but nothing beyond) and the Halo 5 HCS (esports) also go through April with nothing announced after. Seems to be lining up for a MP reveal around May/June with flighting to potentially start shortly after.

Their big big event is still scheduled for June (E3). So I would expect something more closer to a Nintendo Direct / State of Play.
Probably a bunch of talk about Bethesda, news on xCloud for PC/iOS, some lineup for Game Pass and maybe a new publishing title ?

Glad to see people are keeping expectations reasonable for an even in March
I don't think Starfield is that much of a stretch. This is probably going to be a Bethesda focused event and showing off the crown jewel of that acquisition makes sense. Halo is probably a stretch though, but it'd be cool
They'll happily walk back on that if Windows ever requires a fresh marketing push to fend off some other product.
Yeah, the Windows event caught me offguard. You usually don't hear much about their operating system, they like to bring out stealth updates out of nowhere haha.
It even feels like they're walking away from the two updates a year, with more like a security update in the Spring, and a somewhat bigger update in the Fall, but even then, it feels like Windows Development has been pretty quiet for too long. I can't remember the guys name but someone took over the Windows Team awhile back and apparently they want to make Windows a bigger deal, so I can imagine if they wanted a big marketing push, one day they will make a new standard version of Windows. (Give it a cool name, 11 would be boring :P)
Glad I am not the only one. I read the news and was like "there's a Windows event...?" haha.
Would love to see what next gen exclusives they have for 2021 or games other than Halo. Seems like Forza of some sort is a lock
This isn't the event guys.
This will be business focus on games, not games focused for consumer.
The Bethesda announcement will be a blogpost, video, some interviews with Major, Phil and Todd, then some interviews with websites and Bloomberg and stuff.
Let it go.
This ain't it (Master) Chief.

I'm guessing that's just the internal placeholder name, given it's the same for Windows. Unlikely to be called that.
