Two high-profile first-party games from Xbox are seeing their rumored release windows leaked, including a new IP and a beloved Microsoft franchise.

With titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Resident Evil 4, the Xbox Series X has a library filled with must-play games.

Here's what's coming to Xbox next week: Crime Simulator (December 1): "Sneak, steal, and break into houses solo or in 4-player co-op. Use lockpicks, sleeping gas, and brute force to complete jobs, outsmart security, and make enough money before time runs out."

The Xbox Series X is the meatier of the two, both in terms of its technical specs, its physical size, and its price. The Xbox Series S is a couple hundred dollars cheaper, but it can’t match the Series X’s power,

From 1 vs. 100 to Halo 3, these are the 20 games that defined the Xbox 360 as we look back on 20 years of Microsoft's best-ever console.

This is great news for anyone who doesn't want to use the Epic Games Store launcher anymore, and it should make the switch between console and PC even more seamless for Xbox fans!

Nowadays, everything is an Xbox — or so Microsoft would have you believe. The advent of the Netflix-like Game Pass subscription has become the tech company’s top priority, shifting their focus from traditional hardware sales to basically producing third-party software for an array of devices,

"One way we measure progress is by looking at engagement, and the momentum is encouraging: Game Pass cloud hours are up 45% compared to this time last year, and console players are streaming 45% more on console and 24% more on other devices," Spencer wrote.

Microsoft is previewing default game profiles on its ROG Xbox Ally gaming handheld. The new profiles will automatically optimize frame rates and power consumption for 40 games, including Fortnite, Gears of War: Reloaded, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Forza Horizon 5, Minecraft, and others, saving you from manually tweaking game settings.

In 2018, Xbox released a divisive open world game that didn't fare well with critics, but has become a huge success in recent years.
