An Xbox executive has said its games need to reach 10 million players in order t💦o be considered a "big accomplis🔯hment."

That's according to head of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Game Studios Matt Booty, speaking to in a new interview. When speaking about why Xbox is yet to get into the virtual/augmented reality market with new games, Booty said "it’s just a bit of wait u🎐ntil there’s an audience theꦗre."

"We have 10 games that have achieved over 10 million players life-to-date, which is a pretty biꦿg accomplishment, but that’s the kind of scale that we need to see success for the game and it’s just, it’s not quite there yet with AR, VR," the Xbox Game Studios head continued.

Booty seems to be indica𒆙ting that Xbox-developed games need to reach 10 million users in order to be considered widely successful. Sadly, the exec stops just short of naming which Xbox games, in particular, have managed to reach the 10 million player threshold of success, but you've got to imagine the list would include blockbuster franchises l𝓀ike Halo and Forza.

Booty also doesn't mention whether this 10 million mark can include numbers from Xbox Game Pass. The subscription service obviously lets players play new Xbox-developed games on day one instead of shelling out roughly $60 for them, but we don't know if Xbox is pleased with a game hitting 10 million players if a chunk s🦩ubvert paying retail price for it.

Earlier this month, Xbox unveiled new trailers for big releases like Fable 4, Obsidian's Avowed, Forza Motorsport, Bethesda's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starfield, and Senua's Saga: 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hellblade 2. Booty's new comments give us a pr🔴etty good 🌞idea of how Xbox expects these blockbuster titles to perform.
