We’ll presumably hear more about Bethesda titles like Starfield, The Elder Scrolls VI, Ghostwire Tokyo, and Deathloop. This is in addition to expected Microsoft games like Halo Infinite, Forza Motorsport, Flight Simulator for consoles, Hellblade 2, Fable, and the Perfect Dark reboot.
We’re also expecting to hear more news regarding Microsoft exclusivity and Bethesda, as the Redmond companypreviously explainedthat exclusivity deals signed prior to the Bethesda acquisition would indeed be honored (rather than Dishonored. Sorry). This statement suggests that PS5-exclusive Deathloop will indeed remain exclusive for now.
Finally, we’re hoping to hear more news related to Xbox Series S and X backwards compatibility features. The company previously announced FPS Boost to improve the performance of a number of Xbox One titles, a resolution boost for select original Xbox and Xbox 360 titles, as well as auto HDR tech for older games that didn’t support HDR.
