So we got a huge amount of xbox information going over what we can expect going forward with xbox whats next for gaming, a lot of it revolving around cloud gaming stuff that weve already heard about before, but other things that are very interesting, such as how many Games we should be expecting in 2023 and some more information on the xbox and activision blizzard deal so starting off here, theres this big xbox wire post, where theyre talking about wanting to share updates with us about what we can expect going forward within xbox. A lot of it, like i said, has to do with cloud gaming starting off here with the xbox app coming to samsung 2022 smart tvs. Now this is going to be an app that youre going to be able to access specifically through the samsung smart tvs that will give you access to your xbox game, pass ultimate subscription to access that entire library of games and give access to those free to play. Cloud games such as fortnite now i think this is great, i think, its great, that they are releasing a smart tv app. Clearly, they made a business deal with samsung, limiting that app to just the samsung 2022 smart tvs for now and im hoping in the future. This is just kind of like a test for it and then theyre going to bring this app over to all smart tvs. I think its a great idea. I dont think they should be limiting it just to samsung, but again its probably a big business deal that they went through and samsung is going to benefit from having the xbox game pass app on their tv, which will probably push more people when theyre going to Shop for tvs, they know about this feature to pick up a samsung smart tv.
They move on here talking about expanding xbox cloud gaming weve seen them go through this through different parts of the world, bringing xbox cloud gaming to different countries and now theyre going to be bringing this over to argentina and new zealand. Saying here, xbox game pass ultimate members in argentina and new zealand. You can play hundreds of games from the cloud on apple, android phones and tablets, windows, pcs, xbox, series, xns and xbox. One always a great thing to see. I think cloud gaming itself is really going to democratize gaming, so more and more people are going to be able to experience these huge libraries of amazing games that xbox game pass has as well as all of those first party games coming over so always like to See them expanding it out to more and more countries. They talk about also updating the gaming experiences for microsoft, edge and windows 11, so theyre going to be optimizing, windows, games and theyre testing them currently right now, with more features like improved latency and auto hdr and the variable refresh rate all stuff thats great, that enhances The quality and the experience of playing games theyre also going to be a new hdr calibration app that will enable players to improve color accuracy and consistency for their hdr displays. I believe there is this app right now, currently with an xbox, so im guessing theyre, just going to be putting that over onto pc and windows, 11.
theres going to be a game pass widget that will allow players to browse and discover games from game pass and Jump back into their recently played titles and theres, going to be controller bar features which will show off the recent game shortcuts popular game launchers, including the xbox app, and will allow gamers to jump back and forth between their games and access xbox cloud gaming. So some good little features theyre going to be adding to the windows. 11 gaming experience thats, always great to see a lot of people access game pass through pc for game pass. So you want to make sure that that experience is top notch and it isnt that far behind with the experiences on the xbox consoles, then they go on here to talk about some more features for microsoft edge, which is the ability to literally just jump at the Game pass through the cloud theres one big thing here that is very exciting and they are going to be making clarity boost built in to the microsoft edge, which was something they were testing out. But clarity boost is super cool. You just click a button and all of a sudden, the gameplay just becomes a lot clearer and a lot sharper than it was before. Theyre also going to be new personalized gaming home page for microsoft. Edge with guides tournaments highlights games that you want to play. Release games, just suggestions and stuff like that and theres going to be access to more games that are currently those ones that you kind of get when you just install windows like microsoft, solitaire, atari, asteroids, microsoft, joule and microsoft, edges, exclusive surf game, so some small features Here updated for microsoft edge but, like i said the built in clarity, boost thing is great: ive been testing it out, and i thought it was a very, very good feature that they have added to the cloud gaming through microsoft edge next up.
We have these features here that i think are going to add just a ton, more value to xbox game pass memberships happy that they are bringing them over the first one is they are going to allow you to play select games through xbox cloud gaming that are Not a part of the xbox game pass library, so games that you own or purchase itll be interesting to see how many games that they add to this im, assuming theyre going to be able to add most of them. I mean its as simple as the game is on the microsoft store. It can be probably streamed out, but theres obviously going to be some like business deals and trademarks, all that type of stuff that they may have to work on before being able to get all of the games thats why they put select games in there. There may be some games that just dont work but thats great to see. So if youve bought a game, you want to access it on your phone because youre not near console, you may be able to now access it through xbox cloud gaming. Then they revealed project more craft, which was that thing we talked about earlier in the week, which was the curated demos that youre going to be able to check out for xbox game. Pass members theyre going to be starting this within the next year and starting with independent developers from around the world now this will allow them to build excitement like they say here, for their games and just get people to see their games that they probably would have.
Never seen it if it wasnt for a feature like this, and if it wasnt just for xbox game, pass thats one of the things with game pass that it does. Is it puts a lot of indie games in the spotlight that you probably would have never played or heard of before, and the participating developers are going to be able to be compensated for how their demos perform? So i think this is great. This was something that playstation introduced with the game demo side of things as part of the playstation plus premium subscription theyre. Adding a similar thing here for xbox game. Pass membership with the added benefit here that theyre gon na be compensated if their demo does well, which will help these indie developers create games that they are working on and then create games going forward. Moving on here, they are adding more options to the design lab, which is more pastel colors and they are bringing xbox line lab to 11 new countries, so thats cool to see and thats the end of the xbox wire launch of information just so much stuff. This is all before the xbox and bethesda showcase, and realistically some of these things they probably could have talked about and announced that the xbox and bethesda showcase, and what this is telling me is, there are so many games that they want to show off at the Showcase that theyre making sure that these smaller announcements, these not game, related specific game, related announcements are being talked about and shown off before the showcase, so they can really focus on giving us the game, so that alone, to me.
Thinking about that has me even more excited for the showcase and when it comes to games, phil spencer had a media briefing whatever, with like different game journalists and people across the industry that got to tune in, and he talked about the first party games and the Direction of xbox and what we should expect going forward into the next fiscal year. So from july, 1st 2021 to july june, 30th 2022, which was last fiscal year, xbox released five new games and a lot of people only think about forza and halo. But there were five new games from xbox game studios in 2021, which was huge. It was a ton of games, theres, microsoft, flight simulator, psychonauts, 2, incredible game, age of empires, 4., another great one, forza horizon 5 and halo, infinite, actually theyre all great games. They were all great games that got very highly critically acclaimed which gave xbox the game publisher of the year for metacritic, and that was in 2021.. Now 2022, we know has been pretty dry so far from the xbox game. Studio side of things, but phil spencer talked about this and he says, were on track to meet or exceed that amount in the next fiscal year. So by june 30th 2023, we should see at least five first party xbox games within the next year. Five first party xbox games coming out. We know two of those are going to be starfield and redfall if they stay on track for getting that release before june 2023 and then theres at least three more first party games.
Who knows what that will be, and we dont know if they are also including the death loop and ghostwire tokyo into that equation, because those will also be coming to xbox game pass on day one but im thinking its going to be three brand new titles that We havent heard of before, or that weve seen the announcement of but theyre, also going to be releasing in 2023, so thats, exciting. The next year of gaming is going to be insane 2023 in general, is gon na, be one of the craziest years in terms of game releases, even if you think about a game like god of war, ragnarok from playstation that seemingly has been delayed is still in Rumor right now not officially confirmed, but if that also comes out in 2023, the amount of stuff were getting next year is gon na be nuts and then finally, to end things off. Here we got some more information about the activision blizzard acquisition and exclusivity for xbox and xbox game pass. So the head of xbox game, studios, matt, booty, addressed this, and he says here if we acquire a game that comes with a big community across a number of platforms, the last thing we want to do is take something away. If anything, we feel that it is our job to be caretakers to be shepherds to continue to build and nurture that community, not to cut it up into pieces and try to take some of it away now.
Continuing on here, gm for programming and events, tina summerford talked about also exclusivity in the previous acquisitions of stuff, like minecraft, and how that game has expanded across new platforms. Since that purchase, which is proving for the philosophy that xbox with their games, that they acquire the studios that they acquire if they have games on existing platforms that are thriving, you dont want to take that away. Just doesnt make any sense, but she also goes on to clarify here saying that they want to make clear that some games will be exclusive, and these would be presumably brand new titles from activision blizzard. These are games that havent been released, yet that will be launching day one into xbox game pass, which i mean, makes a ton of sense. This is what people thought was going to happen. This is exactly what they said and what they did with the bethesda deal. The path that they are going down right now with mentioning this now and then well get that full official announcement once the deal goes through. You can almost guarantee, in my opinion, that theyre going to say the same thing that they did with bethesda. All new games are going to be wherever xbox game pass is exclusive to the xbox ecosystem. Existing legacy games with large communities will still be supported on other platforms. Now sarah bond also said this. We want to put as many titles as possible from activision blizzard into game pass when they join us, meaning thats gon na be an extremely exciting time.
I cant wait till that deal closes and then we get that just launch and that announcement of all of the activision blizzard games coming into game pass right away. All of the call of dutys the crash bandicoots, the spyros, the overwatch, the tony hawks and all of the other ips that activision blizzard has thats going to be nest because there are so many that were going to get right away, plus all of the new stuff. That they are going to be releasing, so that was just a huge news job. I want to quickly go over all that stuff, for you guys make sure to tune in to my channel. As i will be streaming, the events summer games fest today, then we got the xbox and bethesdas showcase on june 12th and june 14th, its such exciting times and were just beginning.
