Trailer S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 became the most watched video from the Microsoft show on the Xbox channel

Remember how the last week Microsoft actively fueled public interest in the presentation of games for Xbox Series X with the help of Halo infinite? It would seem that here he is – the headliner of the event …

However, the viewing championship a few hours after the show on the official Xbox channel unexpectedly intercepted S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, whose debut trailer was unexpectedly presented in the second half of the event.

At the time of publication of the newsStalker»More than 277 thousand views, while the 9-minute gameplay trailer Halo infinite – 209 thousand. The ratio of likes and dislikes in the Ukrainian shooter is also noticeably better: 33 thousand likes and 710 dislikes versus 21 thousand likes and 4.7 thousand dislikes.

Update… As noted in our comments, Halo Infinite managed to overtake S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: at 0:50 Moscow time, the first has 335 thousand views, and the second has 322 thousand views.

However, you shouldn’t forget about the official Halo channel on YouTube – there the gameplay already has 420 thousand views with a similar ratio of likes and dislikes.

It will make much more sense tomorrow to judge the success of each individual project, but in general, such an outcome is at least surprising. At the same time, the reception of the new Halo turned out to be mixed: many were surprised by the low level of graphics, especially in the screenshots published after the show.

The only other game whose video has been able to collect more than 100 thousand views so far is a new one Fable

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 will first be released on Xbox Series X and PC, adding to the Xbox Game Pass library on release day. Later, the shooter will get to other consoles.
