Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass has proven to be quite a hit for Xbox players. This subscription service was introduced to allow players access to a wide range of video games at their disposal. For the past several years, we’ve seen the service evolve with cloud gaming first-party exclusives launching day one on the service, among several deals that brought in third-party video game titles to the service. However, don’t anticipate Microsoft to make a game that would only be accessible through Xbox Game Pass.
Xbox Boss States That the Platform Will See More AAA Japanese Titles in the Future

Phil Spencer has stated that Xbox players can see more AAA releases by Japanese studios come to the platform in the future. Speaking to Game Watch, Spencer said that Xbox will get more games described by the interviewer as “uniquely Japanese AAA titles” down the line.
“Not at all, I think you can expect that,” said Spencer when asked whether there will be more unique Japanese releases like Blue Dragon or Lost Odyssey on the Xbox 360, according to VideoGamesChronicle.
Spencer goes on to cite Hi-Fi Rush as a successful unique Japanese game released on Xbox and PC earlier this year. “It may not have been a major title like Blue Dragon, but it was certainly high-quality,” he said.
“There are also Japanese game creators who are part of Microsoft Game Studios, and while there are titles we can’t announce yet, we are currently developing new games in collaboration with Japanese companies,” Spencer continues. “With further growth, including first-party and third-party, I believe you can look forward to the arrival of even more Japanese titles in the future.”
Hi-Fi Rush was developed by Tango Gameworks, which is owned by parent company ZeniMax, which came under the Microsoft umbrella when the company acquired Bethesda. The studio is known for its work on horror titles like The Evil Within and its sequel, and Ghostwire: Tokyo, with Hi-Fi Rush being a more unique, colourful action game with an emphasis on music.
Spencer has previously also stated that he would love to see a revival of classic Xbox title MechAssault, and that a cancellation of Fallout 76 was seriously considered by Xbox at one point.

Phil Spencer Promises More Titles From Japanese Developers Coming To Xbox
There’s been a lot of talk about Phil Spencer and Xbox lately due to the leaked email issue that flooded the news channels last week. The brand and Microsoft were put under the spotlight in the worst way because of past statements that were made public by accident because of the FTC court battle they won. But even with those issues, Spencer is still taking time to build up the Xbox brand and assure gamers that big things are coming. For example, you might know that the Xbox line has never done well in Japan sales-wise.

Xbox Boss Says He Would “Love” to See a MechAssault Revival
Given how many first party studios now fall under the Xbox Game Studios banner, it’s no surprise that Microsoft technically has the power to oversee revivals of as many dormant franchises as it can- a list that’s bound to grow further still once the company’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard is finalized. However, one name in particular that Xbox boss Phil Spencer has personally had his eyes on that may take some by surprise is MechAssault.
