Xbox head Phil Spencer has revealed that Microsoft will have more first-party games at E3 this year than ever before.
According to a tweet from Spencer, Xbox Game Studios is gearing up to showcase 14 titles at the upcoming event.
Microsoft's Xbox One is the most powerful console available on the market at the moment and there's plenty on offer with its Game Pass service. The introduction of the Xbox Adaptive controller scored Microsoft some major points too. However, the lack of first-party games has been a sore point for a while and criticism over the issue surfaces every time gamers get into a platform debate.
Microsoft has been paying attention and it's a problem they're apparently working hard to correct. As of last year, they've hired more employees with the aim of developing more exclusive titles, having promised to focus on that aspect on multiple occasions.
While the Xbox One is more powerful than Sony's consoles, the latter has been garnering the plaudits over their exclusives, which have seen much success. The latest of those, Days Gone, released in April and has been crushing sales in the US, with Mortal Kombat 11 the only game selling more last month.
Microsoft's now looking to stake a claim of its own and, with 14 games now in store, fans could be in for quite the treat. There's no way of telling what those games will be for sure, how much they will impress, or when they'll be releasing, but there's a fair idea on what the lineup should include.
Halo Infinite and Gears 5 are likely to be presented at E3 but they represent way less than half of what's in the pipeline.
It's worth noting that Xbox acquired several studios last year so it's possible that the teases could come from there. British subsidiaries, Rare, could keep showing off Sea of Thieves content and there's also talk of a Fable revival being a subject at E3.
In any case, 14 games from Xbox Studios should be cause for excitement. We'll just have to wait and see what they are.
