Xbox's Starfield sets the stage for a marathon of exclusive games

An Xbox executive has stated that the release of Starfield marks the beginning of a "multi-year relay race" of first-party titles for Xbox. Following a relatively quiet year for Xbox releases in 2022, Xbox chief marketing officer Jerret West expressed excitement about the regular releases planned after Starfield's launch, including Forza, Hellblade 2, Avowed, and Towerborne. With the addition of Game Pass and third-party relationships, Xbox aims to deliver a special gaming experience over the next several years. Xbox Games Studio boss Matt Booty also emphasized the publisher's commitment to delivering at least four first-party games annually.
