Head of Xbox Phil Spencer recently stated the Xbox Series X will have the most diverse range of games from their first-party developers. He mentioned their upcoming games has a variety of art styles and vary in size from huge AAA titles to small titles.

"I don’t think we want a portfolio of any one kind of game," Spencer said at the time. "We want a breadth of offerings in the portfolio, which is why we’ve been investing in such a diverse slate of games and studios over the last couple of years.

"And one thing I really noticed on the [July] 23rd show, as I’ve been sitting back and watching the narrative unfold, is it’s got to be the most diverse collection of first-party games that we’ve ever had, when I look at art style and size — I mean from some big, big, big teams and big, bombastic overtures to smaller, more bite-sized things — and I think that’s our strength."

The Xbox Series X will launch in Holiday 2020.
