I think that's their mandate when it comes to first party games, don't think they can force third party games to follow that though. I think that decision would be up to the third party publishers.
Perhaps third party publishers will patch the Xbox games since they will be backwards compatible, but I wouldn't put it past them to charge for next Gen patches.
Let's take ashen as an example. Without gamepass it would have had less buzz. Less people would know about it. Which results in less sales.For ages I've seen these reports of sale spikes from games on Game Pass and wondered why. Like who is buying a game they have access too. Now I get it. After not playing it for ages I wanted to jump back into Ashen, I'm crap at Souls games but really enjoyed Ashen's take on it by adding a bit of chill to the genre (even though I was again crap). But it's not on Game Pass anymore. Which means it's not discounted to Game Pass subs. I've made a terrible mistake.
Sounds like someone used to Sony's cadence :p. If you've been paying attention, MS has blown Sony out of the water in terms of conference presence and announcements the last two years. (And the only reason they DIDN'T 3 years ago is because we're still waiting on the same big Sony games XD). MS going big at E3 has categorically not prevented them from having a lot at other shows.I'm not a big fan of Microsoft putting everything into E3 and then pretty much non-existent at all the conferences after. Hopefully they actually put some effort into the Paris and Tokyo game shows and other events as well.
As others have said queuing up trailers to say the have 'X' many games to show won't cut it and we want to see gameplay of games.

Well, there were announcements that they made when it came to X019 that were not made at E3. And they then followed that up with a console reveal and a game reveal at TGA 2019.I'm not a big fan of Microsoft putting everything into E3 and then pretty much non-existent at all the conferences after.

If we are to believe Phil, we should expect an exclusive game release every quarter from now on. If there's a show to showcase these games, then they'll attend. I would hope they would start making a bigger deal in Asia, because their worldwide marketing and distribution footprint is another big reason why it's 2:1 for Sony, sales-wise.I'm not a big fan of Microsoft putting everything into E3 and then pretty much non-existent at all the conferences after.

You missed Gamescom, XO19 and TGA this year?I'm not a big fan of Microsoft putting everything into E3 and then pretty much non-existent at all the conferences after. Hopefully they actually put some effort into the Paris and Tokyo game shows and other events as well.

I love the fact we're here announcing three new IP, two from our internal studios. As I look forward, there's not a show I can look at where we're not gonna be announcing new games, just because of the breadth of studios we have.

Reminder that Sony didn't go THAT hard at Paris or Tokyo this year either (kinda, but not really). MS doesn't even go to those shows, really lol. Doesn't mean they didn't save some stuff for TGA, X019, gamescom.
This is why it's hard for me to get worked up about these boxarts. Yeah, it looks nice, but like - it won't look like that, because there's regulations and readability and branding concerns to be catered to.I like these... but I'd like to see them with the PEGI ratings stickers, and the retailer pricing labels.
They're beautiful, but I'd hate for that stuff to ruin them.
According to Phil, they will likely have "one or two" new games announces at every major event for the foreseeable future. 15 studios create a lot of games, especially since they allow their teams going for smaller, experimental passion projects as well.I'm not a big fan of Microsoft putting everything into E3 and then pretty much non-existent at all the conferences after.

It's gonna be hard to get into some of those talks. It's already difficult to get in a good amount of talks during a regular GDC.Man, GDC is coming up soon huh.
New console GDC is always super interesting... not just for the rumors and leaks that come out of it, but even the presentations are fascinating insights into what's coming.
Tnx did you read it? Is good?
Isnt this an old interview? I saw this posted yesterday as well, and it sounds like something he said a few months ago

I'm just glad that the conversation about next gen is actually starting to ramp up. With the holiday season over there is nothing holding MS or Sony back and with multiple big events happening before the console releases we won't have to wait long for either to start talking.
Halo infinite can't be the only launch game. Anyone wanna guess what any other ones will be?
Forza 8 maybe? I've never played 7, is it on gamepass?If they stick to history a racer should be within the launch line up.
I haven't really played many racing games in a while. Been meaning to start Horizon 4 but other games just came up. Recently GTAV =) just finished it so maybe I'll hit up horizon. Would be cool if they announce Forza 8 at the same time as announcing 7 being added to gamepass.Unfortunately Forza 7 is not on gamepass yet. Forza 8 seems to be a save bet as Forza works just too perfect as a graphics showcase. I wouldn't mind to see Project Gotham Racing make a return though.
Forza 7 is likely never coming to Game Pass that's why it hasn't been on there. The licenses and deal was negotiated way before Game Pass was a thing.I haven't really played many racing games in a while. Been meaning to start Horizon 4 but other games just came up.

The problem with older Forza is their licenses expire in 3-4 years, that's why they pull them out from the store.I haven't really played many racing games in a while.

Even though it's an XGS? Do you mean like the licensees to use the cars? That would make more sense to me though I don't know how that type of deal works. Would be a real bummer if true. =(Forza 7 is likely never coming to Game Pass that's why it hasn't been on there. The licensees and deal was negotiated way before Game Pass was a thing.
All MS committed to is that first party games moving forward from the day they announced "First party will release day one on Game Pass" was exactly that. Games that were made before then aren't committed to that. It's why Forza Horizon 3 never hit Game Pass.Even though it's an XGS? Do you mean like the licensees to use the cars?

True, I wouldn't be mad if those games never hit game pass just bummed.All MS committed to is that first party games moving forward from the day they announced "First party will release day one on Game Pass" was exactly that.
