I still wouldn't count on Halo this year and Flight Simulator is best played on PC. This is a sad lineup of games for a box that still needs some kind of AAA first party release to justify its existence. Everybody thought they were getting a deal on those $1 Game Pass subs. Looks more like MS is just stalling for time with fluff until everyone is paying full price. 🤣

That is embarrasing... are you sure they are wording it xbox exclusives and not coming to gamepass?

The Yakuza collection is already on PS4 lol. Craiglo Infinite looks like ass. Literally haven't heard of the rest of the list. I'm assuming it's all indie crap.

LOL! Their words, right in the link. They are STRETCHING the definition of exclusive in some cases, and just lying in others.

Looks pretty shit to me...but that was expected.

MS was pretty straight forward with what to expect and the xbox owners seem content with that... so whatever.

So lems... is this the greatest games lineup in Xbox history?

You know what's crazy? It make take a good 4-5 years until Xbox actually has a respectable 1st party library lol.

Isn’t Forza Horizon 5 supposedly coming out this year? Anyway I’m pretty hyped for that Halo: Infinite, Microsoft Flight Simulator, and The Yakuza Remastered Collection. Kind of taking a wait and see approach to The Medium, Scorn, and Psychonaughts 2. Yeah it’s going to take a bit of time for things to really ramp up but when they do the games should be coming fast and furious with all the developers and IP’s that they have now. Regardless I’ll be more then happy to spend my time with a vast array of multi platform games until then. I’m going to have more games then I’ll have time to play anyway so I’m certainly not going to complain.

These won’t be available on PC?

It's a good thing all of those sad and pathetic MS games are all coming to the GP which I'll be playing on PC. Thank you, MS so I won't have to buy your pathetic consoles ever again.

• Halo: Infinite
• The Medium
• The Gunk
• Starfield

Those are MS games I'm way more interested in than the rest of that list.

After 7 years the Xbone still doesn't so I wouldn't hold my breath lol.

The Gunk is trash the only one hype for that is lems and phil.

So this is whylems love game pass so much, to play these games? Talk about pathetic.

Many more games on GP. Stop being wilfully ignorant.

Aside from the very poor list of "exclusives", surprised Little Witch in the Woods is exclusive on Xbox. Last we heard was the dev is doing extra works to make sure it comes to PS4 and N. Switch alongside PC release.

My theory is right, devs develops for other platforms while waiting for microsoft to come with money and techs to make it a gamepass game. Free money and word of mouth marketing before it actually came to the intended platforms in this case PS and Nintendo.

It’s becoming pretty clear why Microsoft produced so few Series X/S consoles. From the numbers we have, sure the Xbox consoles are selling out, but they’re also being outsold by a 3to1 margin.

Yikes!

Yes. Very sad.

LOL. Were is the damage control squad?

Where's the list of 2021 PS5 exclusives for comparison?

It funny seeing Sony fannies upset about the games on a system they supposedly don't care for but look who is the OP.😂🤣 Xbox continues to dominate Sony fannies minds.

Probably looking for the "h".

@Pedro: Too bad it isn't dominating sales charts 😊

@NathanDrakeSwag: Please tell me when and why did/should I care about sales charts you poor shill?😂🤣

Looks like just the one local fool so far. Everyone else should be too ashamed to play defense force for a lineup like this. 😂

You entered this thread acting like cows are upset over an irrelevant last place also-ran brand like Xbox. Reality is we just like to laugh at lems and Phil's failures.

Now we are talking about Phil. 😂 Sony fannies are the saddest bunch.🤣

"Xbox xbox xbox , Phil, Xbox xbox xbox, Phil"

How can I stop? I was born ignorant.

The Xbox has literally never cared about exclusives. Halo 1 was a PC game too. You'd think you'd be used to it by now XD

For some titles, it's better to put "MS's" at the beginning.

• Adios
• The Big Con
• Dead Static Drive
• The Gunk
• The Last Stop
• Scorn
• Shredders
• Way to the Woods

Were you drooling when you typed this? You got scammed 500 dollars for a shit system. You should be mad.

I checked the list and half of the games, I think many didnt know even existed. Props to MS for giving money and stage to these obsecure games.

@Pedro: MS number one cheerleader and only lem in here coming to its defence for that pathetic list of games. Pedrololololol

Doesn’t get sadder than this folks

You expect cows to know whats coming out on PS, now that's silly LOL.

So cows still prefer playing the exclusive game instead of actually using their ps5 I see? Some things never changes...

@phlop_spencer: "Pedeo called me and my goons out" 😢😭

I thought it was known that MS apart from halo had nothing until 2022 at least.

That list looks as garbage and unexciting as the PS5 list. Honestly, I am not sure what PS or Xbox fans are constantly fighting about. It's all pretty terrible. If Playstation came out with a new Spyro game, or a new Twisted Metal, It may pique my interest. Or you know, if Microsoft did anything positive with Rare. But, for Christ's sake both consoles have been spiraling down the shitter in terms of exclusives since the early-mid 2000's. That is why they put so much emphasis on hardware and graphics, and fight over who does multiplats better, to hide the fact they have little actual substance in software of their own.

The list has a few games that should be very good.. some that will be ok ...and some that will be meh. Looking at PS5's exclusive list I see the same mixture

https://www.theverge.com/21538464/ps5-xbox-series-x-launch-games-list-new-release-holiday-2020-2021

Probably more Xboxes in actual gamers hands than PS, way less demand is obviously true. However, they may not need that many games if all the playstations constantly end up in scalpers hands.

bu bu xbox has no games!

that list is nearly as long as the gap between button prompts on a sony movie game HaH

meanwhile on ps...horizon and god of war delayed to 2022...bless

That's a cool list. Another killer year for Gamepass no doubt. That's the good part of cows being completely obsessed with Xbox, they even make lists promoting it.

Thanks for the hard work! Some titles like The Artful Escape I wasn't aware they were day one on Gamepass and that's great to know. Disappointing that Stalker isn't listed for 2021.

It even says in their write-up on the Yakuza games...

"These ones aren’t technically exclusive, but it’s the first time these games are coming to Xbox and Xbox Game Pass, so we’re pretty excited. The Yakuza games have been making a big splash on Xbox recently, especially once the most recent titles hit Xbox Game Pass last year, and the critically acclaimed Yakuza Like a Dragon launched alongside Xbox Series X|S. Later this month, The Yakuza Remastered Collection, which gathers Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4, and Yakuza 5 will land on Xbox Game Pass. Then, in March, Yakuza 6: The Song of Life will be added to the service, completing the Kazuma Kiryu story arc of the Yakuza saga. This means that fans will finally be able to play the entire saga of The Dragon of Dojima, from Yakuza 0 to Yakuza 6, with one Xbox Game Pass subscription!"

...doesn't seem like they are trying to pass this off as exclusive.

Lol it's like the Xbox One all over again

I am only interested in the new psychonauts

Sometimes I feel that way. I felt super burned by Xbox One with the lack of exclusives (really liked quantum break, sunset od, halo 5). Glad I'm not PC hesitant.

Somebody missed the part where Sony announced delays to 2022 for everything except ratchet and clank. As for the other games exclusive to PS5 in 2021...they make xsx’s list look positively first class.

Well Phil did say the x-series x launch game lineup was the best lineup in xbox history. Except original xbox launched with halo 1 and yeah....

So i guess this is the best launch window lineup in xbox history according to phil too?

Xbox don't do exclusives anymore
