Inside Xbox: Aaron Greenberg Addresses Fan Response

General Manager of Xbox Games Marketing Aaron Greenberg has addressed the response to May's Inside Xbox 20/20 stream, noting that the team "set some wrong expectations" about the presentation. Greenberg's response followed negative feedback from fans about yesterday's presentation, which promised "next-gen gameplay" in the lead-up to the show. In particular, Assassin's Creed Valhalla's showing failed to deliver what many may have expected from a "gameplay trailer," instead offering some scattered footage of Viking raids and battles, without a HUD in sight.

Had we not said anything & just shown May Inside Xbox show like we did last month, I suspect reactions might have been different. Clearly we set some wrong expectations & that’s on us. We appreciate all the feedback & can assure you we will take it all in & learn as a team.

"Had we not said anything & just shown May's Inside Xbox show like we did last month, I suspect reactions might have been different," Greenberg tweeted last night. "Clearly we set some wrong expectations & that's on us... we appreciate the feedback & can assure you we will take it all in & learn as a team." In another tweet, Greenberg notes that the team "expected fans to want more, and more is definitely what we plan to give them!" As you may have heard during last night's stream, Xbox Games Studios head honcho Matt Booty announced that we'll be getting a closer look at the first-party titles coming to Xbox Series X in July. Greenberg and Booty made an effort to point out that we'd hear from 343 Industries, who are hard at work on Halo Infinite.
