New Xbox-Exclusive Games to Launch Every 3-4 Months, Says Microsoft

Nov. 30, 2019

He, however, rejected any notion that there’s been a shift in the company’s policy in looking beyondthird-party Xbox gamesto focus on in-house titles.“I don’t think there’s been a shift … Sarah Bond, who leads our third-party team, is out there day in and day out working with our third-party partners … I think you would hear an equal amount of talk about first-party, third-party, and ID@Xbox. It’s just that, lately, we felt a little more proud about talking about what we’ve got going on with first-party”, he said.

Sadly, though, Booty didn’t reveal anything new about the next-gen Xbox console – ‘Project Scarlett‘ – that’s been confirmed to launched next year. He did, however, claimed that the device will have the largest launch line-up of any Xbox system because any game that runs on an Xbox One will run on Scarlett.“You’re not porting to a different operating system; you’re not porting to a different graphics API; you’re just running an Xbox game, right? So we hope that that’s a big advantage in terms of our initial content library”, he said.

He also tried to reassure Xbox One users that their current-gen Xbox console won’t be consigned to the bins of obscurity with the release of the new device next year, saying:“We want people to feel comfortable investing in Xbox (irrespective of whether) you’re going to go buy an Xbox One S or next fall you’re going to go buy a Scarlett. (The) content library that you invest in is going to go forward (with you], so that you don’t have to feel like you’re making a choice between generations”.
