Polygon on haastatellut Xboxin johtoa niin Xbox Series X -konsolista kuin sen tulevista peleistäkin. Phil Spencer ilmoitti, että julkaisussa uudella konsolilla on parempi valikoima pelattavaa kuin koskaan Xboxin historiassa. Lisäksi Spencer muistutti, että edellisen kerran Microsoftilla oli julkaisupelinä Halo vuonna 2001.
"I honestly think we're in the best launch lineup position that we've ever been on Xbox. When I think about the strength and depth of the games that people are going to be able to play day one on Xbox Series X — not only because of [backward compatibility] — and the way that Game Pass really allows the total cost of ownership of our console, I think is a real strength.
But you know, we also have Halo. The last time we had Halo at the launch of a console was 2001."
Spencer teki myös selväksi, että tulossa on monipuolista pelattavaa monenlaisilta kehittäjiltä.
"I don't think we want a portfolio of any one kind of game. We want a breadth of offerings in the portfolio, which is why we've been investing in such a diverse slate of games and studios over the last couple of years. And one thing I really noticed on the [July] 23rd show, as I've been sitting back and watching the narrative unfold, is it's got to be the most diverse collection of first-party games that we've ever had, when I look at art style and size — I mean from some big, big, big teams and big, bombastic overtures to smaller, more bite-sized things — and I think that's our strength."
