What started back in 2001 as a very big black-and-green box on your shelf that played Halo and was named after Microsoft’s graphics API has grown to be something much bigger. With Series X|S consoles now far more available, day one releases of exclusives on PC, and the wide umbrella of gaming experiences that is Game Pass, there’s a lot to look forward to this year.
While last year’s offerings were a bit short on exclusives for Team Green (to put it mildly), 2023 is looking to turn things around with the arrival of one of the most anticipated games of the generation so far, and many other promising titles to boot.
