Microsoft, in an effort to give the system a push this week at Gamescom, revealed the first-day launch line-up for the Xbox One – and it’s a doozy.
Several previously announced titles made the cut, including Need For Speed: Rivals and Watch Dogs, as well as exclusives like Killer Instinct and Forza Motorsport 5. However, there are a few surprises as well, including Peggle 2, Lego Marvel Super Heroes and Skylanders: Swap Force, among others.
The full line-up includes the following:
-Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag (Ubisoft, Ubisoft)
