Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has admitted that 2022 was “too light on games”.
Xbox gamers were left somewhat disappointed last year with the output, especially after anticipated titles such as Starfield and Redfall were delayed to this year.
Speaking to IGN, Spencer reflected on the momentum to 2023, explaining: “Our 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. And fundamentally, that’s on me. I’m the head of the business.
“The 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,” he added.
The Xbox boss went on to say that they are “excited about getting to roll into 2023”, saying of the games on show at Developer Direct: “I felt really good about the games that we were showing.
“And then also knowing that Starfield is a game that we’d be able to highlight in its own show and then just start off 2023 with good momentum, and like you said, I think we needed that.”
