Xbox & Game Pass was key to Expedition 33 success:

“[At the Xbox Showcase] it was placed next to Gears of War, Fable & AAA games. It let people understand what Expedition 33 was in a way that we would've struggled to do if we weren't allied with Xbox."

This statement has upset many online lol but there is truth to it. Not 100% necessarily being announced alongside other notable IPs, but due to Xbox consistently being one of the only must watch summer showcases. They’re still keeping the E3 spirit alive in that regard.

Nintendo being the only other notable one. Like yeah, there’s SGF but Geoff’s shows are so inconsistent that I don’t even know anyone who watches it lol. And those that do end up with “there were a couple of cool titles, but overall pretty meh” but with Xbox’s showcases, they’re so consistent on major releases shown that always draws in the hardcore crowd, that it really got people talking about Clair Obscur in a way that even surprised me! This is definitely gonna be my next game.
