During a flashy 90-minute presentation full of game trailers, Microsoft Corp. revealed dozens of new titles for its subscription service, Xbox Game Pass, including several from the big publishers it purchased in recent years.
Sunday’s presentation in Los Angeles started and ended with two big games coming next year from publisher Bethesda, which Microsoft bought in 2020: Redfall, a first-person shooter in which players fight vampires, and Starfield, a role-playing game set in space. Microsoft also spotlighted Activision Blizzard Inc.’s Overwatch 2, which will enter early access in October with a free-to-play competitive multiplayer mode, and Diablo IV, which arrives in 2023.
