PlayStation 4, Xbox One Launch Titles Confirmed As Of E3 2013

Here is the list of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One launch titles confirmed as of E3 2013!

E3 2013 has been a storm of gaming news even before it started, with Xbox One presumably handing the victory over to the PlayStation 4, as previously reported in The Inquisitr. However, if you’re still up in the air about which next generation console you plan on buying in spite of all of the confirmed DRM and online rumors and price announcements, perhaps the list of launch titles for each console will help make up your mind.

As you likely know by now, history has proven that the games sell the console in the long run. If it wasn’t for Metal Gear Solid, would PlayStation 3 fans have been so loyal to Sony’s console? If it wasn’t for Prototype, would the Xbox 360 have had such a loyal gamer base? It’s time to look at the launch titles; the games you will be able to pop in that plucky machine of yours the instant you get it home and tear through the packing material like Wolverine.

Are you ready? Let’s do this.

Here are the games that will be available at launch for both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One:

• Battlefield 4 – the followup to the urban warfare first-person shooter series.
