And that folks, was a wrap on Xbox and Bethesda’s first showcase at E3 2021. I’ve got a feeling that both companies weren’t ready just yet to roll out its biggest upcoming guns, as Microsoft’s return to the Electronic Entertainment Expo brand was one of few surprises and more comfortable reveals instead. Forza Horizon 5 looks gorgeous in its new Mexico setting, Halo Infinite’s multiplayer looks intense, and there were plenty of Game Pass announcements to be had.
That doesn’t mean that there weren’t some big reveals though! It may have leaked early at the Washington Post, but Starfall’s release date was confirmed as a proper next-gen only title, while games like Contraband and The Outer Worlds 2 look fascinating. May boyee Ichi is now on Game Pass, Psychonauts 2 has me wondering if I should give the original game a bash, and Battlefield 2042 continues to look intense.
Here’s the full round-up of trailers, reveals, and news from the Xbox and Bethesda joint conference.

Psychonauts holds up really well. Just don’t play the PC version. It is on gamepass, so play it there on console if you can. It is one of my all time favourite games, and I usually play the pc version once at least every second year. I’m currently playing it on the console for the first time (series X), and I’m really surprised at just how much more polished it feels there. It really is a remarkable game.

Replaced is the best game trailer I’ve seen since Dead Island.
