X019 round-up19/11/2019  On Thursday evening, a special edition of Inside Xbox was streamed live from X019 in London, giving us a look at the titles we'll be playing over the course of the next year.
In Grounded, up to four players are scaled down to the size of an ant and tasked with surviving the "unique micro-world of a suburban backyard" where they must gather everyday materials to craft and build bases, search for life saving resources and fight off the massive hostile inhabitants that threaten them and the peaceful insects. The announcement trailer for Rare's EVERWILD didn't give much away but the cartoon-y visuals and soft pastel colours are unmistakably Rare. The team is said to be focused on "building an experience that allows for new ways to play in a natural and magical world" providing memorable and engaging experiences for players to share.

Eight games were introduced to the service on Thursday and we were promised that a total of 42 more will be releasing throughout the holidays and 2020, including a trio of Yakuza games (Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami, Yakuza Kiwami 2) and these 10 Final Fantasy epics:
