He added that fans should look forward to a strong lineup in 2023 and beyond, including a diverse lineup of creative titles.
When asked about the lack of first-party Xbox titles, Phil said, “As far as the first-party team is concerned, we think they are doing a great job. However, due to the spread of the new coronavirus, there have been some delays in game production and we have not been able to release many games for a while. Please look forward to a strong lineup in 2023 and beyond, including a diversity of individual creatives.”
As for whether Xbox can be expected to have a strong lineup of titles in 2023, Phil responded with, “Yes!!!”
In response to a question regarding Xbox Game Studios’ partnership with Hideo Kojima’s Kojima Productions, Phil said, “Kojima-san and I have known each other for many years. He had some novel ideas about game experiences and we wanted to partner with him to bring them to life on our platform. I visited Kojima Productions today and had the opportunity to see the early stages of the project, and I am very excited.”
With plenty of new titles on the horizon, it seems that the future is bright for first-party initiatives at Xbox.
