This story is part of our 2022 in Gaming series. Follow along as we reflect on the year's best titles. Looking back on 2022 at a surface level, you might be tempted to say that Xbox had a rough year. Halo Infinite struggled to push its initial momentum, major releases like Starfield were delayed in 2023, and the Federal Trade Commission moved to block Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard acquisition.
Related Software On the software side, Xbox was easy to write off in 2022. With Starfield and Redfall getting delayed, Microsoft was left with no major first-party exclusives for the entire 12 months. Updates to Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5, and Grounded would help ease the pain, but players who come to consoles for flashy new games were left picking through third-party releases.
Titles like that helped Microsoft entirely separate itself from its competitors. Sony continued to deliver its Hollywood-sized blockbusters while Nintendo worked wonders with its established formulas, but Xbox was the place to be for gamers who just wanted to try something entirely new. From As Dusk Falls to Somerville, Game Pass delivered a wealth of those experiences in 2022.
This one tweet made me lose all respect for simple foolish...
Oh yeah?
Perhaps the most disingenuous gaming article I've ever read. No software and a litany of uninspired Gamepass fodder. Disgusting.
The editor team should be fired or laid off for publishing this 100% false article.
TLDR - An article on some small time games the author liked and some technologies Xbox implemented, and that's how it dominated 'GAMING' apparently. Yea, who needs Starfield when you can download the GamePass app on a Samsung TV from now on.
Imagine praising getting no games. I couldn’t read anymore after “they may have had the strongest exclusives lineup in 2022.” No matter your preference, PS had Gow, horizon, gt7, stray, sifu etc. Nintendo had Pokémon, xenoblade, bayonetta etc. Xbox had pentiment and scorn…
LMAO this article
If you think Xbox had some bold games, I encourage you to install Steam on your pc. I can't believe people get paid to write bullshit like this.
