Based mostly on leaks and my private expectations for the showcase, there are three video games you possibly can play on Xbox Recreation Go this weekend to organize for the occasion.
The primary is the newest first-person shooter in a long-running sequence by id Software program that is likely to be getting a medieval-set spinoff.

Whereas the recreation is arising on 5 years aged, it’s really nonetheless certainly one of Microsoft’s best-looking video games, even on Xbox Sequence X/S. It has a current-gen native improve that seems to be excellent and makes me begin to surprise how beautiful Gears 6 goes to be within the wake of The Coalition’s work on video games like Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2.
