Forget 9. Focus on just getting 3 high quality games out in a year. That's a good start. Their already 1 down with starfield.

The problem is they've taken long enough to get like Nintendo and Sony by releasing new IPs for their new console or service. They have sone catching up to do. Unless they're relying on gamepass loyalty outlasting the oversaturation of indie games in between releases, they'll make Sony and Nintendo look better if they dont come clawing back in 2023.

Hellblade 2, Perfect Dark, Fable, Everwild (I don't know about the other ones) won't be close at all from being ready for 2023 and MS knew it in 2021. This list is pure fanboy fantasy.
His source must be the Nvidia guy who filled the leaked list, where MS had over a dozen AAA games listed to be released in 2022, being Scalebound one of them.

Another sign that xbox cannot manage developers.

If only my penis was as big as my GamerScore!
I'd say my list is more accurate than Grubbs.
And that would be a huge year. Nine games would be a waste.

I’m convinced more and more everyday half the shit grubb leaks is bullshit that can either be easily guessed or never proven incorrect.
I will give him props on the kojima leak though. A broken clock…

Microsoft is the largest software company in the world. They can manage developers just fine. They just can't seem to make video games.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
If a game getting delayed means x company can't manage a developer, the entire industry is completely unmanageable.

Maybe a couple of these will make late 2023. Feel like that’s pushing it though.

What has been announced to release next year?

So far ?
Starfield, Redfall, Forza Motorsport. These were all cited as releasing in the next 12 months in their June show. (Ghostwire will also release in March/April, which makes it the 4th first party game I guess).
The above 3 first party games could very well get delayed into the second half, but we can't say that until it happens.
Nothing from the second half of the year has been officially announced. Games like Hellblade, Avowed, Coalition's smaller game etc are all possible candidates.

2023 onwards is going to be absolutely insane for Xbox, and that's even before you take Activision Blizzard into consideration. We could be getting 6+ AAA releases a year going forward.
Starfield, Redfall, Forza, and Minecraft Legends are all already announced for the first half of 2023, and it's safe to say they're all going to be high quality releases based on the developers.

It's even worse when you look at the entire context.
Xbox one had almost no games released in the last few years of its cycle. Most of us probably assumed this was because next gen was approaching: Surely MS must be gearing up for their new system? Well lo and behold, the Series consoles launched with what is probably the single worst launch lineup of any major console with not a single exclusive game.
We're now 2 years in and the only two highlights have been Halo and Forza. It's frankly absurd how long its taking to release a decent amount of games.

Fewer exclusive games*

That's .. kinda not true tho.
Between 2019 and 2020 Gears Tactics, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Sea of Thieves, Tell me Why, the shitty Battletoads re-release/remake, Minecraft Dungeons, Bleeding Edge, Gears 5 and Crackdown 3 under the Xbox publishing banner for Xbox One.
That is a decent amount of games in a 2 year period by a single publisher.
2022 has been an exceptionally barren year in big part because games that were scheduled to come out this year got delayed into next for covid or whatever reason. It really isn't all that bad when you look at it in context, like you said. The delayed games will come out in 2023, they're not getting canceled or anything.

I don't think anyone thinks it's magic. They have 30+ internal studios working on games in addition to their publishing partners, and they already have 5 first party games scheduled for the first half of next year. Do you think gong forward they'll only be able to release 1-2 AAA games a year?

We'll see, still need to see if Microsoft can corale their devs, and release games in a timely manner or not incomplete.

Even if they only release one game in 2023, it will be changing their 0 games a year narrative.

I should have probably been more specific in my original post: Most of these games are low profile and/or simply not good. Sea of Thieves was actually released in 2018 and out of the games you listed, only Gears Tactics and Gears 5 are big budget, high profile games that are actually good.
The contract between that period with Playstation is pretty big. Especially if we extend to 2022.

3 exclusives a year is goos, 4 is great, 5 is spectacular, 5 6 is overwhelming.
Starfield, HB2, Redfall, Contraband and Avowed would be a spectacular year. I would be be happy with starfield, avowed and tic tac tow to be fair.

Don't forget Motorsport. Unless it also gets announced as a cross-gen game in the coming months, it's looking out to be the first real next gen showcase racer.
It’s very likely we’re getting 5+ since we already know about Starfield, Redfall and Forza Motorsport, and none of these suffer from ‘chronic mismanagement’. Where’s the management issues at Playground (Fable), Ninja Theory (Hellblade 2), Coalition, InXile and Obsidian (Avowed)?
…and this is based on?
It does seem like pure fanboy fantasy to speculate about the likes of Hellblade 2 and Fable being out of the 2023 running with nothing to back it up.

I just want Starfield and Redfall to make first half of 2023.
Another one for holidays and it will be great year.

They should stop talking about Everwild, until they actually have an idea what its going to be.

- Hellblade 2 - fucking better come in 2023. They announced it in 2019 and all we've had is one gameplay sequence that was mostly cutscene anyway.
- Perfect Dark - given that we haven't seen any gameplay (or even in-engine footage) I find it hard to believe that this would come in 2023.
- Fable - basically same as above.
- Contraband - not interested at all but I guess it could come in 2023?
- Avowed - same as PD and Fable, not coming in 2023, obviously.
- Everwild - wouldn't be surprised if they've already canned it.
- New games from InXile, Compulsion and Coalition (not Gears 6) - I'd only be interested in Gears 6 so anything else can go suck a dick.

I can't handle this much irony in the morning.

Redfall is a lot more likely to release in the first half. I'm confident they're gonna try their best to get Starfield out by Summer as well, but you never know with these things.
Not bad at all, hopefully the second half of 2023 has a couple more of those xbox games that have been in gestation for a while come out.

I'd hope Hellblade II as well, considering by next year it would have been in development for over 5 years.
But who knows.
