Speaking of Japanese collaborations, Kojima's long-rumored Xbox cloud project was finally confirmed by Kojima himself at Xbox Games Showcase 2022. No other details were confirmed other than the fact that "it's a new game, one that no one has ever experienced or seen before." Kojima could be referring to the recently leaked horror game Overdose, but fans will have to wait a little longer to find out. 

Overwatch 2

Starfield

  • Platforms - Xbox Series X/S, PC. (Game Pass Day 1)

In what could be the highlight of the showcase for many, Bethesda finally gave fans a first look at Starfield gameplay. From character creation to space combat, from crafting and customizing one's spaceship to exploring over 1000 planets, there were plenty of jaw-dropping moments in the 15 minutes long presentation.
 While many would have preferred a concrete release date for the game, what Bethesda showed should be enough to fuel fans' appetite and get them excited for this upcoming open-world sci-fi epic.
