Recently, Microsoft unveiled its much-awaited gaming console–the Xbox One. Ready to go head-to-head with Sony’s PlayStation 4, Xbox One is Microsoft’s all-in-one living-room device. The device is slated to release later this year, and comes with several new features like the new controller with Wi-Fi radio, “Precision” direction pad, deep groves on thumb sticks, and integrated battery compartment. Talking about the games, Microsoft didn’t reveal a lot of new games for Xbox One. But here we have a list of confirmed titles for the device:

• Call of Duty: Ghosts
• Forza Motorsport 5
• NBA Live 14
• Madden NFL 25
• FIFA 14
• EA Sports UFC
• Quantum Break
• Destiny

Electronic Arts sports division revealed FIFA 14, Madden NFL 25, NBA Live 14, and UFC for the Xbox One. Apparently, EA is using a new graphics engine called Ignite, which is believed to bring in a new sense of realism.

“Today marks the beginning of a broad strategic partnership between EA and Microsoft,” EA Sports executive vice president Andrew Wilson said. “We share a common vision with Microsoft that games should be intelligent, dynamic, connected, rich with emotion, and — most importantly — fun.”

“Ignite was designed specifically to blur the line between real and virtual. Sports are just as much about your head as they are about your feet or hands. We built new technology that allows players to make decisions with four times more calculations per second,” Wilson added.

About the much loved game–Call of Duty, Xbox One will receive the downloadable content for Ghosts before any other console. Besides, map packs and other DLC for Call of Duty: Ghosts will come to the Xbox One first. The console will support more players in multiplayer matches. Call of Duty: Ghosts will release on November 5, 2013, so the Xbox One may release sometime before that. Maybe, the game could release on the same day as the new console.

Finally, Xbox One will not backwards compatibility with Xbox 360 games. It will support 450 original Xbox games through emulation. Here’s what Microsoft said in a Q&A about the Xbox One.

“We designed Xbox One to play an entirely new generation of games—games that are architected to take full advantage of state-of-the-art processors and the infinite power of the cloud. We care very much about the investment you have made in Xbox 360 and will continue to support it with a pipeline of new games and new apps well into the future.”

For the first year, Microsoft plans to release 15 exclusive titles, eight of which are new properties. Quantum Break is one of those. As of now, only these titles have been confirmed by Microsoft, but we certainly expect more games to come up during E3 Event in June.

With Solid Gaming Performance Xbox One Could be a Force for Change

Today on SiliconANGLE Newsdesk, contributing editor John Casaretto said, “Gaming in general isn’t just about the games anymore–and there’s some purists that are kind of rattled–now there’s cloud, game DVR captures–this Xbox LIVE experience is interconnected. There’s 300,000 servers that will power the Xbox LIVE service for Xbox One.

“The integration of the Xbox LIVE experience, the ability to pick up your game from one console to another to pick up your game where you left off and so on is really interesting.”

He also spoke to what games would appear on the Xbox One from Forza, Call of Duty: Ghosts, EA Sports, including Quantum Break and more–as we expect to see even more titles announced at E3.
