Head of Xbox Phil Spencer has acknowledged the co🐼mpany's relatively light slate of games in 202🃏2 and says to expect an "exciting year" ahead.

In a new interview with , Spencer took personal responsibility for Xbox's lack of big new releases in 2022, a year virtually devoid of major titles from Xbox's in-house studios. Of course, Bethesda's Starfield was originally due to launch in N🌠ovember of last year, but it was ultimately delayed to 2023 with no new conc💝rete release date.

"Ouꦕr commitment to our fans is that we need to have a steady release of great games that people can play on our platform, and we didn't do enough of that in 2022, there's no doubt," said. "And fundamentally, that's on me. I'm the head of the business.

"Th🅠e commitment we have to our customers to continue to deliver great games is something that I take seriously, the teams take seriously, and 2022 was too light on games. So we're excited about getting to roll into 2023."

The media-trained Spencer was careful not reveal anything off schedule, but he did suggest 2023 will be a much bu𓃲sier year for Xbox for a number of reasons, not least of which the return to offi🐬ce following the COVID-imposed work-from-home protocols.

"When I think about the rest of the work that we're doing this year, it's going to be an exciting year. From a production standpoint, we're coming out of all of the COVID at homꦍe, and I think we've got a better working rhythm as an industry and things that are ಞgoing on, and I'm excited."

Just looking at the current slate of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Xbox Series X games, it's easy to see how Spencer could stay true to his word, barring any delays of course. Xbox already shadow-dropped the incredibly charming 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hi-Fi Rush, and then Arkane's open-world co-op zombie shooter Redfall launches in May, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查🀅询:Minecraft Legends is ಌdue out in April, and we're still waiting on a release date for the undeniable Xbox headliner, Bethesda's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starfield, but that's slated for 2023 as well.
