Microsoft last night (Sunday) held a comprehensive announcement and exposure event, in which the company provided glimpses of 30 games, most of them exclusive, that will arrive on Xbox and PC in the next 12 months (excluding unavoidable delays).
At the event, emphasis was placed on the Xbox Game Pass subscription service, and most of the titles featured will be included in it on the first day of their launch.
So what did we have there?
Here are the most important and biggest announcements of the evening, at least in our opinion, not necessarily in a particular order:
There's a whole new Minecraft game, but that's really not what you think.
Minecraft Legends is an invested action-strategy title set in the world of Steve & Co., and is expected to come out during the first half of 2023. The cries of joy of millions of children have been heard around the world.

A tear-jerking family drama on Xbox?
There's such a thing: As Dusk Falls is a particularly intriguing plot game, a sort of "interactive graphic novel with a completely realistic plot," though we identified in the trailer some mysterious twists that not everyone experiences in their normal lives.
We're totally interested, not to mention that the game will be out very soon - July 19th.
Legendary game creator Hideo Kojima ("Metal Gear Solid"), who to this day has been mostly identified with the PlayStation, has announced a surprising collaboration with Xbox.
The title he is working on has not been revealed, but Kojima has made it clear that this is a game he has always wanted to do.
In any case, this is an earthquake in the gaming world, as Kojima's latest game, Death Stranding, came out exclusively for the PlayStation.

Better late than never: The full version of Grounded, a charming humorous survival game that draws quite a bit of inspiration from "Baby Kids Shrink" movies, will be launched in September - more than two years after the release of the early access release (Blame the Corona).
In any case, your backyard will never look the same.

Not for the faint of heart: Scorn is a horror-action game announced a few years ago, but finally got a launch date: October 21st.

Admittedly we did not fall short of the action-survival game Ark from 2017, but its pledge, Ark II, is expected to be released later this year for Xbox and PC, and looks not bad at all.
What's even Schwinn Diesel appears in the lead role (just not to look for the gas pedal in the dinosaurs he rides. It would be embarrassing, then).
Expected to be released later this year for Xbox and PC,
While not expected to be a huge hit, The Last Case Of Benedict Fox, a very intriguing two-dimensional action-horror-survival game expected to be released in the spring of 2023, caught our eye at the launch event.

Rick and Morty fans have reason to celebrate: High On Life is a completely delusional shooting game created by Justin Rowland - the genius responsible for the mythological animated series.
Without a doubt a huge surprise and one of the highlights of the evening, mainly thanks to the amazing graphics, the hallucinatory scenes and the talking weapons.
Elimination of an alien drug cartel has never been so ... what this game will not be (and we would not be surprised if it had some connection to Rick and Morty's world, but it has not yet been announced).
With us in October.

And for dessert, Microsoft and Bethesda have unveiled in good time the first and most comprehensive gameplay videos from two of the biggest action-role-playing games of the coming year: The Vampire Redfall (which is pretty reminiscent of Dishonored games, which is a good thing), and if you have a quarter of an hour The Space Starfield, about which we have written before.
