Along with the launch of Scorpio, here are 11 games that will give the Xbox One a fighting chance at wowing gamers and turning the tides in their favor this E3.
For Southeast Asia, new price changes.
Prices effective starting May 1st, 2026.
Replies(1)Looks like PlayStation took a hit with Marathon and is now quietly adjusting prices worldwide to recover the losses
Lets be honest raising prices doesn't do that when no one's buying it. I imagine the profit it greater selling 10 times more at a lower price
The price increases are due to the RAM demand associated with AI and the US-Iran war. You can look to any business news website and local news to see that. Heck, even the 2026 Asus Zenbook Duo I've been eyeing has faced delays and has had a price increase of $400; that laptop has two specs. Asus is doing a staggered release with per-orders for the lower spec now and shipping in May and pre-orders for the higher spec that I'm eyeing starting in June. Basically, all computer manufactures are affected. It'll most likely start affecting smart phones too if it hasn't already. I can't remember the last time any major console maker (Nintendo, Sony, Sega, etc) increased the price of their console mid cycle outside of Microsoft just to make more profit.
The Indie Live Expo Spring 2026 Showcase happened, and the Indie Spotlight segment of the event included plenty of reveals and world premieres.
In an exclusive interview with Game File, new(ish) Xbox boss Asha Sharma and Xbox chief content officer Matt Booty explain their vision for Microsoft’s gaming division
A good start would be to release games to go with the console. My Xbox Series X has gathered dust virtually from launch. My advice would be to ditch a next console and release games on PC, PlayStation and Switch. Another idea would be a hybrid console based on Xbox Series X tech and go the same route as Nintendo. Another idea would be to pull out of gaming altogether. Plenty of options there.
Microsoft winning E3?.. I actually would like that. Sony will be great without a doubt and Nintendo will at the very least have some new Mario footage and some surprise announcements. If Microsoft can top that it will be a good E3 for gamers (people who like to play games).
That would be a solid lineup of games but I still don't think that'd be enough. Especially if we get more Spiderman, GoW, Days Gone, Death Stranding, TLOU2, Detroit, and TLL. As well as new stuff from SP and FS.
Microsoft's E3 will probably be about pushing Scorpio hard, by promoting multiplatform games played best on the system, and a couple of exclusives we have already heard about.
I don't expect many exclusives or big surprises from Microsoft (well, maybe a surprise or two).
Fable, Banjo, Sunset Overdrive 2 and Conker would be the only surprises in that list. We've know about Crackdwon, SoT, State of Decay, and Cuphead for awhile. Forza is a yearly series. Tomb Raider is an assumption based on the past game. And Phantom Dust 2 would be a slight surprise but it got "remastered" so not too much.
If MS shows 11 games ill be surprised
