After lagging behind the competition for ages, and after the disastrous launch of Redfall, all eyes were on Xbox to come out swinging at the Xbox and Starfield showcase – and swing it did.
The Xbox and Starfield showcase would've been a winner from Starfield alone for most gamers. However Microsoft delivered one of the most packed and exciting showcases in recent years showing off the new Star Wars Outlaws game from Ubisoft, the upcoming Fable starring Richard Ayoade, three new games from the Persona team (even if two did leak beforehand), Sea of Thieves announcing the extremely obvious winning crossover with Monkey Island, and Like a Dragon 8 finally being revealed with a look at Ichiban Kasuga naked on a beach.
These titles were showcased alongside a bunch of first party Xbox titles like Avowed, Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 and Forza Motorsport.
