In a major setback for fans eagerly anticipating the release of Microsoft’s new Xbox exclusive game “Redfall,” the highly anticipated title faced unexpected bugs and performance on its launch day.
The much-hyped first-person shooter game, developed by renowned Arkane studios, was set to be a major addition to the Xbox gaming library, but the errors have left fans disappointed and frustrated.
The setback comes as a surprise, given the game’s widespread hype and anticipation. Many gamers are left wondering what went wrong and when they can finally expect to get their hands on the highly-anticipated game.
In this article, we delve into the details of the setback and explore the potential implications for both the game and the wider gaming community.
Xbox Exclusive “Redfall” Got Negative Reviews Because of Bugs and Performance Issues

Redfall for the Xbox Series X has a critical score of 62 as of Thursday morning on Metacritic, with individual ratings like GameSpot’s falling as low as 40.
The game’s tight lock to 30 frames per second on Xbox, tedious gameplay, and subpar execution of “looter shooter” aspects that distinguish rival games like Bungie’s Destiny 2 have garnered significant criticism.
At a time when both Sony and Microsoft are struggling with complaints about the sluggish delivery timetable of their consoles, this might be perceived as a setback for Microsoft. The surprise release of Tango Gameworks’ Hi-Fi Rush earlier this year did give Microsoft an unexpected exclusive hit with reviewers, but there are persistent reports that it didn’t convert to commercial success.
With that, Redfall’s unfavorable reaction, and the most recent restructure of Halo creator 343 Industries, the outlook for Microsoft is gloomy. Similar to how Halo: Combat Evolved launched the original Xbox in 2001, the Xbox Series X and S desperately need a big, clear-cut hit.
The scenario sounds very similar to Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which has minor issues on consoles but is virtually completely unusable on PC due to the severity of the issues there. But, there are yet still two opportunities for that huge success in 2023 before Microsoft’s Xbox Games Showcase on June 11.
One is the newest Forza Motorsport game, which is said to be arriving this year but doesn’t yet have a set release date, and the other is Bethesda’s own Starfield, a highly anticipated space opera role-playing game scheduled for release on September 6.
Still, all these are yet to come, so we do not have any official confirmations; let’s wait until the official release of these two games and watch how it performs. In conclusion, it is obviously upsetting for both the corporation and the anxiously awaited players that Microsoft’s Xbox exclusive game “Redfall” suffered a setback on launch day.
Although setbacks are frequent in the gaming industry, it’s important to keep in mind that they can be overcome with the right approaches and hard work. Gamers should anticipate a more reliable and pleasurable experience soon as Microsoft works to fix the problem and make sure that players can enjoy “Redfall” without any additional hiccups.
Despite this setback, Microsoft’s dedication to providing top-notch gaming experiences is unshakable, and in the months and years to come, we can anticipate even more exciting releases from the firm.
