And there would be complications if they did, as the Xbox Series S may not have the raw power to support such a product this generation, considering Microsoft’s commitment to system parity. If VR is something that you have any interest in, I’m afraid it is tough luck as Xbox do not yet see the need to offer a product such as this. These are games developed by studios at the height of their power and working in conjunction with one another under the Sony umbrella, pooling resources and developing the most polished and breath-taking games the medium has to offer. Games such as God Of war, The Last Of Us, Returnal, Spider-Man, The Ghost of Tsushima, and the list goes on. If you have budget constraints and own an Xbox and not a PlayStation, as a consumer you are getting better value, but what you are missing out on has been piling up for some time now. It is worth mentioning that Forza Motorsport will also likely hit Game Pass this year, which I will play once and immediately drop in favour of Sony’s Gran Turismo 7 in VR. This is as close as Xbox will get to a sure thing until The Elder Scrolls 6. As if Todd Howard wasn’t galaxy brained enough, he had to go and make Skyrim in space. The jury is out on this one, and I suspect it will be critically well received, but may suffer from a dwindling player-base shortly after launch I do hope that I’m wrong. I expect it to be a good game, but Arkane is a developer that seems to be losing some of its identity in the search of its first commercial success and it’s telling that their first post-Xbox release is a co-op, possibly live servicey shooter, when they have been a single-player studio since their inception.

Redfall will have some extra shine as the first Microsoft-Bethesda title, but I have some concerns about this one. Both were originally planned for the first half of this year, with Redfall just about making that deadline with a May release date and Starfield failing to make it, and now expected in September.
