Microsoft’s head of gaming has said the game he’s most looking forward to playing is Sony’s God of War Ragnarök.
Spencer revealed his most anticipated game in response to one of several questions posted by the officialXboxTwitter account.

It’s not the first time Spencer has expressed a desire to play the highly anticipated title, which was originally scheduled for release in 2021before being delayedto helpSanta Monica Studiodeliver “a top-quality game while maintaining the safety and wellbeing” of its team.
And on that day, the caveman also discovered bangers 🎶
Earlier this month, prior to the game’s release date announcement, Santa Monica Studio creative directorCory Barlogurged followers to “treat the people that make the things we love with some human decency and respect” after some of the game’sdevelopers received abuse on social media.
“So well said Cory,” Spencer responded. “Can’t wait to enjoy GoW when it comes out. And thanks to you and the team for the amazing work that goes into creating things we love. Thank you.”
Last year, PlayStation Studios bossHermen Hulstalsochose God of War Ragnarök as his most anticipated game.
While it’s unsurprising that Spencer is keen to play PlayStation’s flagship holiday game, it does bring to mind the absence of confirmed releases in Xbox’s own first-party line-up this calendar year.
