Naoki Hamaguchi: «I do want to bring Final Fantasy VII and the Remake series to as many players out there as possible.»
Although 2024 started off shaky for Xbox after layoffs, talk of exclusives heading to competing formats, and very few first-party games — there’s no doubt that Microsoft is ending the year in style.
Late October saw Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 included with Game Pass, and just last week both Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl were released — with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle waiting just around the corner. In addition, there are currently great sales on Xbox consoles in several Black Friday campaigns.
Another thing we have definitely noticed this year is an increased focus on Xbox from Japanese developers, perhaps especially from Square Enix.
