Microsoft announced quite a few things at the Xbox E3 Briefing nearly a day ago.

Among the announcements was obviously the Xbox One X (formerly Project Scorpio) at the forefront. There were also multiple indie launch exclusives like Tacoma, The Last Night, Darwin Project, The Artful Escape, and more. Among the Xbox and Windows 10 exclusives we finally have dates for Crackdown 3, Cuphead, and got to know that State of Decay 2 and Sea of Thieves are now releasing in 2018. Super Luck’s Tale has also been revealed. Ori gets a sequel with Ori and the Will of the Wisps as well.

Among the big third party reveals were Shadow of War’s gameplay trailer, Metro Exodus, Assassin’s Creed Origins gameplay Black Desert Online, and Anthem that EA announced at their show. Bandai Namco Entertainment showed off Code Vein that is from the God Eater team. One of my favourite announcements from the show is Life is Strange: Before the Storm that is a prequel. Player Unknown Battlegrounds, the hot PC game right now, is launching on Xbox One as well before hitting other platforms.

The highlight announcement for many was Forza Motorsport 7 that was shown off on Xbox One X and it looked stunning. Other than that original Xbox backward compatibility is coming to the Xbox One platform with disc and digital compatibility. There was also an ID @ Xbox sizzle reel shown.
