Microsoft's Xbox division, led by Phil Spencer, is gearing up for the console's 25th anniversary in 2026, which will feature highly-anticipated titles like the Fable reboot and others. Despite this year's showcase spotlighting exciting new projects such as Double Fine's Keeper and InXile's Clockwork Revolution, many fan-favorite games are slated for release next year. Microsoft's growing stature as a game publisher allows it to thrive, even in years with fewer standout launches, and strategic partnerships, like that with Asus, highlight its ambition to dominate the gaming landscape further.
At the end of Sunday's Xbox Games Showcase, Phil Spencer noted that 2026 will mark Xbox's 25th anniversary, celebrated with the Fable reboot and more.
This year is great, look at all this stuff we've got, but next year, next year... that's going to be The One.
Microsoft has unprecedented scale as a game publisher; even a quiet year has notable titles like a new Doom and projects from Obsidian.
Partnerships like the one with Asus for the ROG Xbox Ally X handheld help expand the Windows handheld market, reinforcing Xbox's marketing strategy.
