Xbox One has ‘Crazy’ 2015 Line-up, Monthly Updates to Continue Next Year

November 3, 2014 by Stephen Daly

Microsoft may need to move some games to spread them out.

Xbox boss Phil Spencer has claimed that Xbox One fans can look forward to a "crazy" 2015 line-up of games. 

Speaking on Major Nelson's latest podcast, Spencer went so far as to suggest that Microsoft has so many games in the pineline that some may need to be moved out of the autumn release window. 

"This fall from a first party/third party standpoint is great. Next fall, honestly it's not hype at all, I honestly don't know that we can actually ship all the stuff that thinks it's trying to ship next fall. It just might be too crowded and we might purposely try to move some things out to spread it," he remarked. 

Some of the key Xbox One exclusive games confirmed for 2015 include Halo 5: Guardians, Quantum Break, and Rise of the Tomb Raider. 

"It's nice as an industry that we don't all have to get on top of each other and compete against one another, because there are enough hours in the year for a gamer to go play great games, but people want to play the things that are current.

"As publishers and first parties have success at multiple points of the year it's a good thing for us, because having three or four great games ship all in the same week at the end of October, while maybe on some forecast somewhere it feels like that's the right thing to do, just as an industry I think it's much more healthy if we have more beats throughout the year where people can ship great games," Spencer added. 

In the same podcast, Spencer said Xbox One users can expect the type of regular monthly update seen in 2014. 

"As we roll into 2015 we definitely have a road map for monthly updates," he commented. "When they'll start up again we'll watch. We're kind of working through the schedules on those things now but it's a commitment that we have as a platform team that we'll continue monthly updates."

However, he says Xbox One owners shouldn't expect a major update in December, as Microsoft's focus that month will be when "we're just going to make sure people are turning on consoles and the games are playing well and everything's working great".
