At today’s Xbox Games Showcase, Microsoft gave you several exciting reasons to hold onto its hardware.
Lately, the vibes have been off at Xbox. Between spending billions of dollars on massive acquisitions and closing developer Tango Gameworks after it released last year’s cult hit (Hi-Fi Rush), Microsoft continues to lag behind Nintendo and Sony in console sales. But at its 2024 summer games event, Xbox showcased that it has a lot more entertainment in store.
Not every spotlighted title featured gameplay, and some trailers teased games that probably won’t be available for years. Still, Xbox offered 11 reasons to get excited about its future.Age of Mythology Retold
