No one is going to argue that the Xbox Series 10 is affluent with brand-new exclusive games, simply that could alter as Microsoft exec has teased that Xbox Games Studios is working on a new IP "that'south gonna blow your mind."

Those are the words of Xbox'south head of gaming services Ben Decker, who told our sibling site GamesRadar that Microsoft's game development arm is working on a make new title that appears not to be released to the heavy-hitting franchises of Halo or Gears.

• Retro gamers rejoice! Xbox Series X has a surprise for you
• All-time Xbox Series X games to play right now
• Plus: Resident Evil Hamlet ending explained — what the hell was that?

The interview comes off the back of Microsoft releasing statistics that show 55% of 14,000 consumers sign up to Xbox Game Laissez passer to get new games.

"That's why we fabricated the investments that we accept," said Decker. "We accept 23 studios across Xbox and Bethesda, working on Halo, Forza, Fallout, and new IP that we oasis't even talked about yet that'south gonna blow your mind. We tin deliver all of that into Game Pass on day one," explained Decker.

Currently, Game Laissez passer members tin access more than than 100 games on the Xbox subscription service, including major titles for Bethesda and EA, every bit well every bit a mix of Xbox games dating back to the original Xbox. But The Medium is the only existent new game that seems developed primarily for the new Xbox consoles that's available on Game Pass.

There are a lot of Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S optimized games on the service, merely information technology's arguably defective serious side by side-gen titles. Going by Decker's words that could all change, though he didn't shed any lite on what the new IP could exist.

Given Halo Space and Legend 4 are on the horizon, RPG Avowed could exist a platform exclusive, and the Gears franchise is available on Game Laissez passer, nosotros'd hazard a gauge that this new IP will be something reasonably removed from such games.

Perhaps Xbox Games Studios could be working on a brand-new massively multiplayer online games, as those are rather popular. Or it could take some seemingly niche or highly ambitious game that puts some of Microsoft's wider technology to use; how about AI that has automobile learning backed up by the Azure cloud?

We promise to hear more at E3 2021, which volition be a virtual event, but one that Microsoft will have a presence at. While the Xbox Series 10 didn't launch with a cavalcade of sectional games, it'south looking similar the second-half of the year and 2022 could be the fourth dimension when Redmond's new console truly comes into its own. And hopefully past then, finding an Xbox Serial Ten restock won't be such a nightmare.
