The newest gaming console in the legendary Xbox lineup, the Xbox One has come and I have bought it. (Yes, I know it came out last year, but I got it just this month.) Here are a few things that Microsoft promises in the Xbox One.

Games

The Xbox One comes with an extensive collection of games. Here they are:

• Witcher 3: Wild Hunt- You play Geralt,a hunter. No, he doesn’t hunt deer, he hunts monsters.

  

• Forza Horizon 2: Fast and Furious*-In inspiration of the newest Fast and Furious movie, Playground Games employees created a standalone expansion based off of Furious 7.
• Battlefield Hardline- You play as a cop in a drug bust gone wrong. You end up in jail. What will you do?
• Ori and the Blind Forest*-You play Ori, a guardian spirit. Your goal is to fill the forest up with light once more.
• Halo: Master Chief Collection*- All of the Halo games from Halo: Combat Evolved to Halo 4 are included in this bundle of fun.
• Evolve- You choose. Play as a heartless monster or a brave monster-hunter.
• Halo 5: Guardians*- Something is wrong. Master Chief has done unspeakable things, and as Spartan Locke, it’s your duty to find out why. No one understands you. You’ve become horribly violent, you don’t care anymore. As Master Chief, it’s your job to be the hunted; and, in the end, become the hunter. Play both roles in Halo 5: Guardians
• Forza Motorsport 6*- The successor to Forza Motorsport 5, a racing game based on realistic physics.
• Rise of the Tomb Raider*- Lara Croft’s destiny was to become the Tomb Raider. Fulfill that destiny in the Rise of the Tomb Raider.
• Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain- A third-person game series about a soldier called “Solid Snake” who does various things, whatever he is assigned. This is the second part of the Metal Gear Solid V mini-series, the first one being Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes.
• Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege- The successor to Rainbow Six: Rouge Spear, an FPS game that involves a terrorist and counter-terrorist team facing off in a hostage-style situation.
• Call of Duty: Black Ops III- The successor to the Black Ops series, set in the far future.
• Star Wars: Battlefront- An FPS based on the original Star Wars trilogy. (squeee!!!!!)
• Fable Legends*- The successor to Fable III, a Smite-style third person MMO.
• Tom Clancy’s The Division- A futuristic Third Person Shooter that explores the dangers of technology. You play as The Division, a group of people brought out as a last resort.
• Quantum Break*-unknown

• Scalebound*-unknown

(Crackdown and Scalebound’s release dates are yet to be announced, but are confirmed games, according to Microsoft)

*Xbox One exclusives

Xbox Live

Here is the list of things that Microsoft has said that they have improved in Xbox Live on Xbox One.

• No waiting in lobbies- Apparently you can watch TV while Xbox One does your matchmaking. Convenient!
• No jerks- A jerk spamming chat? A cheat shooting missiles out of his rifle? Report such activity and Xbox One apparently makes sure they never play with you again(unless they make another account.)
• Capture your Greatness-Capture that mlg360no-scope420 and let it get noticed, with Game DVR, Upload, Upload Studio, and Twitch.
• Twitch-Xbox One has twitch, so you can broadcast live directly from your Xbox One.
• Home Gold-Let’s say your younger brother is broke, but he wants to play online with his friends. If you have Gold, with Xbox One, your whole family can access it, at no extra cost.

Miscellaneous 

• Playing Games while Skyping-Heck Yes!
• Windows 10 on Xbox One- As soon as Windows 10 comes out, your Xbox One will run on it, as your computer or tablet does.

  

• Xbox on Windows 10- You can now play you downloaded Xbox games on Windows 10!!!!!

That’s all that Microsoft has announced, so far. As always, everything is subject to change.
