[QUOTE="Admin, post: 57662, member: 1"] Xbox boss Phil Spencer has admitted it's been too long since a major first party exclusive game landed on the Xbox Series X and S. Speaking to [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=qKy9c3p3rqU&ab_channel=SameBrain']Same Brain[/URL] on YouTube, Spencer said he understands why players are frustrated at the lack of major Xbox-only games - [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/halo-infinite-single-player-campaign-review-xbox-series-x-xbox-one-pc']with last year's Halo Infinite arguably being the most recent[/URL] - but noted that 2023 is set to be a big year for the company. "One thing we've definitely heard loud and clear is that it's been too long since we've shipped what people would say is a big first party game," Spencer said. "We could have our excuses on Covid and other things, but in the end I know people invest in our platform and they want to have great games." He continued: "We're excited about 2023. We've talked about games that are coming, and those games are tracking well. Getting our first real Xbox first party games out of Bethesda, having them ship Redfall and Starfield, will be a lot of fun."
