Microsoft and Xbox brought the heat to E3 2021 with 30 game announcements. Most of these titles will be making their way to Xbox Game Pass on “Day 1” as Xbox themselves state and that alone makes the subscription service even more attractive to gamers everywhere.
You can check out the full list of announcements below:
For more than 20 years, Team Xbox has focused on making Xbox a place where fans will find great games, dedicated developers, and the most passionate community in the world. We are all on a mission to bring the joy and community of gaming to everyone on the planet and that’s why we put players at the center of everything that we do. Together, we all make Xbox the best place to play.
Today, at the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase, we gave our fans a closer look at the next era of gaming, revealing worlds previously thought impossible and delivering the power of games to everyone, everywhere. Over the course of the show, we pulled the curtain back on thirty titles, 27 of which will be included with Xbox Game Pass.
You’ll see many games this holiday, including Forza Horizon 5, which will boast DirectX Raytracing on both Xbox Series X and S, and Battlefield 2042, which will run at 60fps while supporting 128 players on Xbox Series X|S. Some games launching next year from our first party studios and partners, such as Starfield, Redfall, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 require the speed, performance, and technology of Xbox Series X|S. We’re excited to see developers realize their visions in ways that only next-gen hardware will allow them to do. For the millions of people who play on Xbox One consoles today, we are looking forward to sharing more about how we will bring many of these next-gen games, such as Microsoft Flight Simulator, to your console through Xbox Cloud Gaming, just like we do with mobile devices, tablets, and browsers.
To summarize the list of announcements, you can see a handy-dandy bullet-list of titles revealed during the showcase. 27 of these titles will be available on Xbox Game Pass on day 1 with three of them, most notably the big Triple-A titles being excluded (Far Cry 6, Battlefield 2042 and Diablo 2: Resurrected will not be on Xbox Game Pass on Day 1).
