TGS 2023 (Tokyo Game Show) was a very important event for Microsoft as both Xbox series were the favorite platform of the masses. And Phil Spencer’s team had the perfect recipe to conquer the Japanese audience: adding new games to Xbox Game Pass, among which the presence of the Yakuza saga stands out, one of the favorites in the Land of the Rising Sun.
Also worth noting is the announcement of one of the best JRPGs of 2023: Octopath Traveler 2, which will be released in a few months on both Microsoft consoles and the Windows Store. Below we review all confirmed games along with their release date or window.

Octopath Traveler 2, better than the first?
Both titles have the same playable scheme and the way of telling us the story and the characters that cross their paths. Therefore, the second part is essential if you liked the first. In our analysis of Octopath Traveler 2 we said: “It remains an absolute recommendation for the traditional JRPG lover, but its development has been quite continuous and not very revolutionary, which will make it one of the best titles in its genre this year.” which is not a little, but nothing transcendent either. Beyond the question of his place in history, the truth is that we have an outstanding representative in his category.”
