Unlike many of my coworkers who are lifelong Xbox fans, I'm new to Microsoft's gaming consoles. You see, I've been a PC gamer since the 90s and have owned various consoles throughout my life, but it was only recently that I bought an Xbox for myself.
Truth be told, the $500 Xbox Series X purchase I made last year hasn't felt like it was worth it due to the limited number of exclusives and the horrible state of some of the exclusives that Xbox has received (I'm looking at you Halo and Redfall). I was really starting to lose faith in Microsoft, but then the Xbox Games Showcase 2023 bombarded me with exciting announcement after exciting announcement for upcoming Xbox titles and my faith has been restored. This is especially thanks to the long list of upcoming games which include Fable, Hellblade 2, Avowed, and of course, Starfield.
