Over the last 36 hours, not one, not two, but 17 PS5 and Xbox Series X games have been revealed. Some of these games are bigger, more notable releases such as the next Star Wars game and a sequel to one of 2017’s best games. However, most of these titles are smaller, more niche releases that won’t sell you on a PS5 or Xbox Series X, but will help bolster the games lineup of both consoles.
