In the blog post, Microsoft also notes that other big titles will be coming to the consoles as they release, such as Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Destiny 2: Beyond Light (which will be optimized for both consoles on December 8th), Cyberpunk 2077, and The Medium (which will release on December 10th as a console launch exclusive).

Microsoft’s new consoles have a very good lineup of titles that will be available at launch, although there isn’t anything that really shows off the power of their new hardware. That being said though, Microsoft still has the best deal for next-gen thanks to their aggressive pricing and incredibly appealing services.
