Fiscal Years 2023 Reported To Welcome Five New Xbox First-Party Titles, Microsoft Says In Statement

Regarding what the Xbox firm has planned later this week is to be revealed at the Xbox + Bethesda Showcase this Sunday. However, the contents is fairly light in terms of its announcements compared to previous years. For one, it is uncertain how much if any footage will be featured for Starfield & Redfall as both titles were recently delayed to a 2023 release next year.

Additionally, the firm pressed even more for the game that will be presented will also face extra screentime with the Xbox + Bethesda Showcase Extended the following Tuesday on June 14th. One highly-anticipated game hoped to be at the presentation is Obsidian Entertainment’s Avowed. The title announced nearly two years ago has yet to receive an update, but, one developer heavily hinted at the team’s attendance for the showcase this weekend.

In a new report from Windows Central, Microsoft is aiming to ship five unique titles in the coming fiscal year. According to Microsoft’s investor FAQ, that period begins July 1st, 2022 to June 30, 2023. “Last fiscal we launched 5 new games across console, PC, and cloud. We are on track to meet or exceed that amount in the next fiscal,” a spokesperson told the outlet in a statement.

More interesting is that this new inquiry does align with a previous statement from Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty. In that, Booty expressed in a press release that acquisition plans for Xbox Game Studios is strived to deliver first-party release with intentions to release at least one per financial quarter. And it appears five is enough to do so and some more with how soon the next fiscal year is to begin.

Other approaches Microsoft has underway is how the firm plans to reinvent how game demos are implemented. Announcing Project Mooncroft, the new initiative is said to come next year “that brings the fun and discovery of playing new, curated demos of upcoming games to our Xbox Game Pass members” next year.
