Microsoft has recently speculated that they may have to move the release dates to certain Xbox One titles around due to a crowded 2015 fall lineup.
While appearing on Larry “Major Nelson” Hyrb’s latest podcast, Microsoft’s Phil Spencer discussed Xbox One’s fall 2015 lineup and the possibility of certain games’ release dates needing to be changed in order to accommodate their crowded schedule:
“Next fall, I don’t… Honestly it’s not hype at all, I honestly don’t know that we can actually ship all the stuff that thinks it’s trying to ship next fall. It just might be too crowded and we might purposely try to move some things out to spread it.”
Spencer continued by describing the other release date opportunities Microsoft may have throughout the year with certain titles:
“I think as publishers and first parties have success at multiple points of the year it’s just a good thing for us, because having three/four great games ship all in the same week at the end of October, while maybe on some forecast somewhere it feels like that’s the right thing to do, just as an industry I think it’s much more healthy if we have more beats throughout the year where people can ship great games.”
Xbox One has already confirmed a large number of titles for 2015 which includes Halo 5: Guardians, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Crackdown, Quantum Break, and more. As of this writing, those titles have yet to be given a definitive release date.
