Xbox can play the long game with its exclusive titles, but not forever

A bit of a meme has been developing around Xbox's first-party lineup, which frankly hasn't been as grand as its competition as of late.

What arguably started in 2016 with the cancellation of Fable Legends, and then compounded by the cancellation of Scalebound, Microsoft's exclusive game lineup has been under a microscope lately.

It doesn't help that its primary competitor, PlayStation, seems to have been pumping out critically-acclaimed, photorealistic game after game, with Bloodborne, Horizon Zero Dawn, and most recently, God of War, among others. Microsoft has a few wins under its belt too, with titles like Gears of War 4 and Forza Horizon 3, but it often feels like many of the games Microsoft is shipping are smaller in scope, both visually, and in terms of actual gameplay content.

What has been going on at Microsoft Studios recently, and is it going to change? Let's take a look.
