You get a whole portfolio of games, but importantly, you get every single one of our games that we build day one in Game Pass and the quality and the breadth of those games has only been going up over time and you're going to see some more really big games going into Game Pass later this year."

Since then not only does Game Pass no longer get day 1 titles (only Ultimate), they want to delay Avowed, nobody knows if Indy will actually release this year, Stalker 2 has had five delays already and it won't be surprising if there's not going to be any first party game except Call of Duty this year.
Meanwhile the CEO of gaming Phil Spencer claimed to have been disappointed by the leaks late last year, saying that the actual plans were much better. Not only did we not get a new controller and a new Series X, we did not get Keystone, we got 2.000 people laid off and two studios shut down, a price increase (second one in 12 months) for Game Pass and they now release on Playstation. What a shitty year for Xbox. And to make matters worse, 343 keeps Halo.
They stopped caring and just find lame excuses to keep their "we don't give a f" attitude. Xbox's been irrelevant since Don Mattrick days
