Xbox will have more games in 2024 Phil Spencer speaking

If you feel like you don't have many Xbox games to play next year, then no worries as Phil Spencer has heard you cry. Recently, the head of Microsoft Gaming announced that there's more upcoming Xbox games for next year, which have yet to be announced. That might make up for what seems to be a meager 2023, for sure.

[...] It doesn’t help anybody if all we’re doing is trading one customer for another customer on a different console”, Spencer told the newspaper.

Speaking of 2022 Spencer called the period a "light year" for the gaming brand and he definitely sees 2023 as the first step in building back a strong industry for Xbox. We think that gamers will have to look forward to a bright 2024 and, in the meantime, there's a certain Starfield to tide them over...
