The main presentation featured a roster of 27 games coming to the service, and then topped everything off with the reveal of Arkane Austin’s Redfall, the 28th and final game to be unveiled.

Taken as a whole, it’s a clear vote of confidence (or at least a measure of investment) in the service, and a commitment to keeping it super attractive to customers. Moreover, there’s an absolute host of games on that list that we can’t wait to get our hands on.
