Every Co-op Game Announced at the Xbox Games Showcase 2023

Today's Xbox Games Showcase offered few surprises. Some Xbox fans had hoped for bombshell announcements that would help Microsoft's console to better compete with PlayStation, but no such announcements occured. That's not to say that Microsoft didn't show any cool games! They just showed games of about the same hype level as were shown at last year's event. Additionally and despite reports to the contrary, several games were shown only as cinematic footage rather than in-game footage. Still, we learned about some cool upcoming co-op games, and that's always reason to celebrate.

Microsoft Announces Xbox Series S Carbon Black 1TB Console

This year's Xbox Games Showcase event featured a number of game announcements but relatively few surprises. One welcome surprise, however, came right at the end of the event. Phil Spencer announced a new version of Microsoft's popular Xbox Series S console that will come in black and feature a 1TB SSD. That's a lot more storage for only $50 more than the regular Series S!

Nothing stealth about it.

Turtle Beach Stealth Pro Wireless Headset Review

Turtle Beach is back with a new headset in their Stealth lineup, the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro. This time positioning itself as a premium option in the wireless market to compete with the likes of Astro Gaming A50s and the Steel Series Nova Pro. Having tested over a dozen headsets in the past few years, it's becoming harder and harder to see what truly sets these apart from each other.

The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria Will Dig Into Consoles and PC This Fall

The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria from Free Range Games and North Beach Games is a real "monkey's paw" situation. We wished for a new cooperative LOTR game, and we're getting one! That's good. But it will be a survival/crafting game in which players have to manage hunger and all that busywork. Not as good! Still, the game has a strong premise and a cool universe to its name, so we'll keep an open mind. Also, whereas Return to Moria was initially announced for PC only,  it will now be launching on Xbox Series and PlayStation 5 consoles too!

Sonic Superstars Will Be the First 4-player Co-op Sonic Game

Remember when Sonic Generations came out in 2011, and everyone loved it despite the obnoxious final boss battle? In the years since, Sega has stubbornly refused to make a sequel despite the obvious financial incentive to do so. That will finally change this fall when Sonic Superstars arrives on consoles and PC. It's not called "Sonic Generations 2," but this one clearly builds on the 2.5D visual style and gameplay of Generations. Even more excitingly, it will also feature 4-player local co-op!
