Redfall isn't the first major Xbox exclusive to release in a rough state as its launch feels eerily similar to Halo Infinite's back in 2021. Among the issues the game is facing are weak enemy AI, a lack of match-making for co-op gameplay, and a 30 FPS lock on Xbox Series X/S.

While Starfield could be that game when it releases later this year, this recent trend of subpar Xbox exclusives is a worrying sign. The Xbox Series X/S has already faced criticism for its lack of must-play exclusives when compared to the PS5, and while Microsoft has been successful with its Xbox Game Pass subscription service, it is in desperate need of a successful exclusive title this far into the current generation of hardware. Microsoft has found itself in a tough spot recently with major console exclusives like Halo Infinite, and most recently Redfall, failing to live up to the expectations placed upon them. ![]()
