Given that Hi-Fi Rush launched straight into Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft and Tango Gameworks have created something that should appeal to the entire cross-section of Xbox players. After pouring a few hours into the first few levels, Hi-Fi Rush feels like one of the most original Xbox console exclusives in a long time, and that’s saying something considering Pentiment launched on the platform just a few months back. However, the big highlight of the event was Microsoft and Tango Gameworks surprise launching a brand new IP in the form of Hi-Fi Rush, a rhythm-based character action game that oozes colour and charm from its every pore. Also, The Elder Scrolls Online was there. Anticipated games like Redfall and Minecraft Legends finally received release dates, while Forza Motorsport fans were able to enjoy some new gameplay for the upcoming simulation racer. It feels like at least half of Xbox’s most exciting games don’t even have solid release dates yet, but Xbox’s fortunes might be reversed if their recent Developer Direct was anything to go by.Īn hour-long presentation, Xbox’s Developer Direct gave players some deep dives into Microsoft’s upcoming games, with some big updates and announcements for certain titles.

Their marketing strategy regarding first-party games has been about patience, revealing projects and games way too early and forcing fans to sit there until they launch. Being an Xbox fan over the past few years hasn’t been the easiest thing in the world.
