Not-E3, as the kids call it these days, was full of exciting content. Both Xbox and PlayStation fans were given a glimpse into the future of their platforms. There are wonderful reasons for everyone to be excited, especially Xbox fans, after being shown 30 games, 18 of which are coming on day one to Game Pass. Needless to say, Game Pass users on Xbox and PC will be eating well.
That said, some news regarding the hype surrounding the announced games has come forward. Chris Ding with Gamesindustry.biz reports that seven of the top ten most wishlisted games are games coming to Game Pass. The demand amongst gamers is a testament to the jaw-dropping show Xbox put on, making it an exciting time for Game Pass fans and users!
Here's the list:
Astro Bot (Sony)
Doom: The Dark Ages (Bethesda)
Gears of War: E-Day (Xbox)
Perfect Dark (Xbox)
Assassin's Creed Shadows (Ubisoft)
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Kepler Interactive)
South of Midnight (Xbox)
Fable (Xbox)
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (Activision Blizzard)
As mentioned in the sourced article, it's important to note that these rankings are calculated from May 30 to June 12. So, all measurements were collected starting on the day of the PlayStation State of Play and continuing until three days after the Xbox showcase. Most notable is a game that's been able to be wishlisted via Steam for quite some time, Black Myth: Wukong, and is currently the #1 most wishlisted game by a wide margin. It comes in at number 19 on this list due to the measurement window.
The top ten is absolutely packed with bangers, starting with Astro Bot, which even I'm going to get on PlayStation! Doom: The Dark Ages, the literal banger on the list, comes in hot at number two. The biggest surprise to me is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33! A stunner, to be sure, coming from what seems to be a team of only 32 people! Absolutely brilliant!
