Starfield has become Bethesda's biggest launch title, surpassing previous releases such as Skyrim and Fallout 4.

According to Microsoft's Director of Live Game Operations at Xbox Game Studios, Crystin Cox, the company has more than a "dozen games" in development.

Microsoft has provided an overview of what to expect from its Tokyo Game Show digital broadcast.

Microsoft has announced an Xbox Digital Broadcast for Tokyo Game Show.

Starfield is out and by all accounts, it is receiving a warm reception. It is currently sitting at 88 average score on Metacritic and OpenCritic, both of which include our review (scored 9/10). Here's what Francesco had to say in his final words:

Xbox attended Gamescom all guns blazing last week. The intent felt clear from the start: Microsoft wanted to make a statement.

According the Microsoft's Xbox Chief Marketing Officer Jerret West, Microsoft still has untold stories that will unwrap in 2024 and 2025 aside from the already-announced upcoming first-party titles.

In a new interview with IGN during Gamescom, Xbox boss Phil Spencer revealed that Starfield is "more Oblivion than Skyrim", a conclusion he came to during his 200 hours of playing.

Xbox has said the launch of Starfield will be the «starting gun» for even more first-party releases on Xbox.

Bethesda’s space-exploration RPG Starfield will be out and in the hands of gamers in less than two weeks, and Jerret West, the chief marketing officer for Xbox and corporate vice president of Microsoft Gaming, is hopeful that it’ll mark the beginning of a “relay race” of exclusives that’ll be “amazing for Xbox”.

Xbox fans will be well aware that arguably this generation's biggest first-party exclusive is just around the corner. Starfield launches in just a couple of weeks, hopefully bringing to an end a rather disastrous dry spell for the platform that has been sprinkled with disappointing releases such as Redfall. It's no secret that Xbox has been struggling with first-party exclusives in comparison to PlayStation and Nintendo, but those at Xbox believe Starfield is the "starting gun" for a long period of regular releases over the next couple of years.

Rather than a response to the narrative that Xbox has struggled to release hit exclusive games, Xbox chief marketing officer Jerret West describes Starfield as "the starting gun of a relay race" which will be continued by the likes of Obsidian's fantasy RPG Avowed and Ninja Theory's Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2.

An Xbox executive has said Starfield’s release is like a “starting gun” for a steady stream of first-party titles.

Microsoft might not have had the strongest set of first-party releases in the past couple of years. They might have also felt few and far between. But that might be changing in the future, and it all starts with Starfield. This game is easily one of the most anticipated titles launching this year, and its release date is nearly here. With Gamescom going on, there are some players who are getting a look into the game at the show. Recently, Gamesindustry.biz had the chance to speak with Jerret West, the Xbox chief marketing officer, who praises Starfield and what’s coming after.

The launch of Starfield is the start of a "multi-year relay race of first-party titles," Xbox has told GamesIndustry.biz.
