“Last fiscal year, we released five new games on console, PC, and cloud. We’re on track to meet or exceed that number in the next fiscal year”. Microsoft’s fiscal year lasts from July 1 to June 30 of the following year. Two games from Bethesda (Bethesda Game Studios’ Starfield and Arkane’s Redfall) have been significantly delayed recently, causing them to only be released in “the first half of 2023.”

In addition to the games, Microsoft will be showing more games at the upcoming Xbox and Bethesda game shows.
