Microsoft announced during the recent Developer Direct that an Xbox game showcase would be held in the summer of 2023. The digital titan’s first developer livestream of the year included a number of highly anticipated titles, including Minecraft Legends and Forza Motorsport, signalling that the company’s gaming investments aren’t going away anytime soon.
The Xbox & Bethesda Developer Direct on January 25 was almost exclusively focused on the most high-profile projects that Xbox Game Studios plans to release in the near future. The lone exception was Tango Gameworks’ cel-shaded action platformer Hi-Fi Rush, which received a surprise release during the presentation. However, the most important lesson from the show is that Microsoft’s gaming business intends to release high-quality titles on a near-monthly basis into 2023.
