Spencer adds that there is a great lineup being prepared for 2017 for Xbox. He said that it will be an "interesting" year because there will be no FPS game sequels for "Halo" or "Gears of War." He explains that they will be focusing on other games for this year. GameSpot reports that some of the Xbox games coming this year include "Prey," "Yooka-Laylee" and "Rime." Spencer adds that there may be new unannounced games coming which will be a surprise treat for gamers.

Spencer also reiterated that the Xbox Project Scorpio will impress fans and critics alike. The device is often addressed as a premium console which means that it will be more expensive and have better graphics than the current Xbox One S device.
