Microsoft “jumps in” with 60 new titles, 14 of which are Xbox Game Studios games! A lot of them will be available on launch day on Xbox Game Pass, as well, which means more time gaming and less time wandering around GameStop, hoping the new releases are still there.
Just like last year, there were so many game trailers that Microsoft decided to skip out on much info aside from what was visibly in the trailer. I’ll be listing out which trailers were shown and if there’s any additional info, I’ll include it below.
There’s a ton of stuff to cover, so let’s dive right in.

Things Phil Spencer talks about:
Project xCloud and the new console, Project Scarlett.
Project Scarlett has a custom designed processor that leverages AMD’s Navi and Zen2 technology. It has 4x more powerful processing than Xbox One X, 8k capability, variable refresh rate, 120fps, hardware accelerated ray tracing, and a new gen of SSD that performs as virtual RAM. The goal is to have a console that’s so powerful that developers and game creators can create the game that they want to create, without having to worry about dumbing it down to compensate for load times or processing power.
Project Scarlett releases Holiday 2020, and will launch with Halo Infinite. Find out more on Halo Infinite on Monday at 3pm PDT on Mixer.com/Xbox

WOW, Microsoft has a lot going on! The “more info” that we were promised from EA on The Fallen Order wasn’t very much info at all, but I’m always happy to get more footage of BD-1! I’m still very much wary of the online and streaming of the games for the new gen Xbox, but all those hardware features sure sound badass!
Let us know what you think of the Microsoft conference, in the comments!
