Microsoft has officially announced the Xbox Scarlett project at the E3 2019 main conference. It's real and it's coming. Faster and capable of more advanced graphics than its predecessors, the next-gen hardware promises to be the most powerful gaming console (or perhaps console) in the world when it launches in late 2020, even more so than PS5, which should hit the charts. shelves almost at the same time. Although Microsoft has confirmed at least one game for Xbox Project Scarlett, we don't know enough about what other titles we'll see on the platform. So, without further ado, we've put together this handy guide on all of Microsoft's confirmed Xbox Project Scarlett games, which we look forward to seeing...
Xbox Scarlett titles confirmed
halo infinity
(Image credit: 343 Industries) Halo Infinite is currently the only title that Microsoft has confirmed for the Xbox Scarlett project. So we know that Master Chief is moving to the next-gen console. Additionally, Halo Infinite will be a launch pad for Project Scarlett, launching Holiday 2020 alongside the console (or consoles). This isn't really a surprise, as Master Chief has been the face of Xbox for almost 18 years...
Suspicious Xbox Scarlett titles
Cyberpunk 2077

In an interview with VG247 last year, CD Projekt Red revealed that Cyberpunk 2077 could work with gaming technology of the future. "The next generation hasn't been announced yet, so we can only speculate," CD Projekt Red president Adam Kiciński said. "In terms of technology, Cyberpunk is very advanced. Our technology is ready to interact with future generations. The game is developed so that you can use the powerful equipment of the future." Cyberpunk 2077, which will be released in April 2020 and the Project Xbox Scarlett won't release until late 2020, it will probably be a cross-gen title, but it's still open to speculation, we think it's safe to say that it looks like Cyberpunk 2077 will be an Xbox Project Scarlett game.
Starfield
Bethesda has many projects in the pipeline, but the one we seem to be least aware of is Starfield. All we know so far is that Starfield is the gaming giant's first new IP address in 25 years and it will be a single-player RPG set in space. After only seeing an announcement trailer, we don't expect Starfield to appear before at least 2020, which means it will land in the main window to become an Xbox Project Scarlett game. Bethesda wouldn't let it slide if that were the case, but it seems likely that we'll be venturing into the Bethesda galaxy on next-gen consoles.
As we've said, Bethesda has been very busy backstage since E3 2018. Not only is Starfield up for grabs, but the long-awaited Elder Scrolls 6 has also been confirmed. Bethesda's Todd Howard has already stated that The Elder Scrolls 6 is not it will be released before Starfield. It will be some time before we venture into Tamriel again, probably on next-gen consoles.
Grand Theft Auto 6

But it's almost guaranteed that we'll see a new installment in the Grand Theft Auto series, and it won't be for a while. Therefore, a release date is likely to fall in the next generation, making GTA 6 a Project Scarlett game.
Final Fantasy 7 remake

Once again, Final Fantasy 7 Remake has yet to be confirmed as an Xbox Project Scarlett game, but Square Enix did confirm that the title would return to PS4 first, with an Xbox One and PC release likely in the future. Given the age of Xbox One and the ambitious nature of its gameplay (several episodes of its release schedule in multiple years), it's quite possible to create a multi-gen title with Next-Gen Platforms. So we definitely hope to see the Final Fantasy 7 Remake on the Xbox Scarlett Project.
