Well Redfall is not going to do anything really. Arkane Studio games aren't really high sellers and the always online component for the single player experience will leave a bad taste for some plus the physical copy is just a download code. It will be gamepass filler for most of that community to hold them over for Starfield.

Horizon came out in 2021. This new one is a Forza Motorsport remake. It will be nice to look at but it's just more of the same. It all rests on Starfield.

MS needs 2 things to happen this year, one being Starfield needs to hit big and the other is the Activision deal to go through. If Starfield doesn't knock it out of the park and the Activision deal gets blocked then MS will be finished for peak years this gen. 

Maybe others like me have already bought a Series console for Starfield and Forza 8. It will still bump sales, but I'm sure not the only one that jumped in early then got stung with the (further) delays. I mean thanks to full BC and Gamepass, if you were looking for Starfield, no reason not to buy one sooner rather than later. CoD and other ActiBlizz games going to gamepass will have a bigger effect.

And many others haven't gotten an Xbox yet. This might come as a surprise, but the bulk of console sales come from late adopters waiting for the games they want to have already come out.
