Starfield Delay Causes Fans to Worry About State of Xbox in 2022
A Very Dry 2022 for Xbox
There it is, to no one's surprise. The good news is that these teams get the time they need to make the best games they possibly can.
The bad news for Xbox owners is that, unless the Xbox Showcase proves otherwise, 2022 is going to be a VERY dry year for AAA exclusives. https://t.co/ls088BOvMW

Imagine buying 1 trillion studios, 2 publishers and.... still having no games 🤦🏻♂️https://t.co/G2WtFWXSeT

Glass Half-Full Outlook
Have to get Starfield right.
2023 also provides the likelihood of an improved supply of Series X and further adoption of Xbox Cloud.
Xbox is having a great 2022 so far. This shift is unfortunate, but may also work to increase Starfield's already large market potential. https://t.co/tIr6I4c2D4

Xbox's Massive Problem
As always, take all the time you need on any game to make sure you get it right. That’s the most important thing, ALWAYS.
But man oh man Xbox better have something ready to go this year. Not a single 2022 game currently planned is a massive problem. #Xbox https://t.co/AN3dGm8uWa

A Year Off for Xbox
With the delay of Starfield & Redfall, Xbox has literally no games for this entire year unless they announce something next month and ship it in under 6 months. Jesus christ. Could you imagine if Nintendo took off a whole year from publishing games? https://t.co/dCTTYp7np5

Broken Promises
@Xbox it's time you start delivering your promised 1 game per quarter. https://t.co/wevxy8Iz2a

The Starfield Delay Stings
Starfield/Redfall delays sting hard, from a player perspective, and for Xbox as a platform in 2022.
At the same time...the last several years have showed us that many big games weren't ready. Bethesda especially *needs* Starfield to be a home run, so it's okay to take more time.
