If it is just those 4 they really need to work on their phrasing in the future, you don't say "including these 4 studios" unless you have games from more than those 4, you just say "with demos from these 4 studios".

Surely they must at least be planning the 2nd January Gamepass update for this Developer_Direct, after how completely and utterly underwhelming that 1st January Gamepass update was (only 3 games, the least for any single Gamepass update since Gamepass started afaik). The only reason I can think of for holding back most of their January gamepass reveals like that would be to put them on this Developer_Direct.

You'd think they would, or they might just announce it on the week of the event (Tuesday) or under promise, over deliver?! Lol.

I just don't see any good reason why they wouldn't mention they'd be Game Pass drops, or why they wouldn't mention Age of Empires II will be there, or why they wouldn't mention Goldeneye would be there, if they were in fact there. Mentioning those titles doesn't overhype the showcase, it's literally just saying "these two titles will also be there" and they're both from Xbox studios, it will only get more people to tune into the showcase.

Age of Empires II HD quite frankly deserves a mention just as much as ESO's next expansion does and I love ESO but Age of Empires has never been on Xbox consoles before, there are questions from the fanbase as to how it will work on Xbox consoles and how it will work on a controller, and it's releasing like a week after the showcase.

Looking forward to the showcase either way but since nothing has been confirmed other than those 4...I'll set expectations at those 4, anything more is a cool surprise, don't want to be disappointed expecting something that won't be there, even Grubb isn't sure if Hi-Fi will be there...Maybe they just push Hi-Fi and Belfry to E3 since they're both Fall/Holiday titles at the earliest.
