Xbox Wire has confirmed that content will be shared from Xbox Game Studios, Activision Blizzard, and Bethesda, as well as a line-up of third-party games primarily based in Japan and across Asia. Traditionally, we do see a few new game announcements. At TGS 2022 we got games like the Ni No Kuni Wrath of the White Witch remaster and the Deathloop launch date, and in TGS 2023, we had reveals from Capcom for Ace Attorney Trilogy as well as 7 new Xbox Game Pass games. Traditionally, we get a mix of Asian titles, new trailers, and announcements for Western games. And hey, if Xbox were to get a Final Fantasy 16 port this would be a great place to announce that!
