In an interview with VG24/7, corporate vice president of Microsoft’s gaming division Mike Ybarra addresses the complaints levied against the Xbox and its lack of games: he points out that the console actually has four “exclusives” ready, one of which is PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Xbox is the only place where console gamers will be able to play it, and Ybarra thinks that’s pretty noteworthy due to the game’s massive popularity. Other exclusives include Forza 7, Cuphead, and Lucky’s Tale, while State of Decay 2 and Crackdown 2 will come in 2018.
…the Xbox One X is a wildly impressive piece of kit – I’m the type of nutter who has a liquid cooled PC and a 1080ti graphics card and even I’m impressed by what Microsoft has managed to squeeze into this surprisingly dinky box. Microsoft’s Gamescom last week was marred by the same thing as much of their recent messaging, however: a serious feeling there’s a lack of games and perhaps even a lack of focus when it comes to software across the Xbox division. It’s a mixed message – an incredibly impressive console with some serious issues when it comes to game-shaped reasons to buy it.
