Upcoming Xbox Series X Games

As the Xbox Series X/S enjoys its latest year, Microsoft’s platform is gradually amassing a respectable library. Consoles typically do not start to flourish until the latter half of their existence, once cross-gen stops being a priority and developers can focus exclusively on crafting projects for only the most modern systems. The Xbox Series X/S has yet to reach that point, although things are moving in that direction.




The last few years have produced plenty of fantastic games, particularly in the open-world genre. Elden Ring, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, A Plague Tale: Requiem, and Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands were all good or great 2022 releases, and they offered wildly different experiences from each other. The year’s successor largely followed suit with projects like Dead Space, Street Fighter 6, Hi-Fi Rush, Remnant 2, Forza Motorsport, and Lies of P. What upcoming Xbox games are the most exciting? Which titles are expected to drop in 2024?

Please note that the focus is on the North American release dates of Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One games. Expansions will also be listed.

Updated November 20, 2024: As announcements for upcoming Xbox Series games have slowed down, a section highlighting February 2025’s many, many exciting releases has been added.


Xbox Games Coming Out In November 2024

Microsoft Flight Simulator, Stalker, & More


Xbox arguably has the strongest November 2024 lineup out of all the consoles, even if a few of its highlights have been available on other systems for a while. Genshin Impact is finally making its Xbox debut, which has been a long time coming. While hardly a new property, the gacha game is nevertheless a very exciting prospect, especially after receiving so many updates over the years. Another unexpected arrival, Death Stranding randomly dropped on Xbox, granting players access to one of the weirdest open-world games.

The biggest release of the month is undoubtedly S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, which will launch directly on Game Pass. GSC’s open-world survival horror game has made it through a very tough development cycle, and it is just exciting to finally be able to play it. Also, it looks great. Other notable releases are Metal Slug Tactics, Planet Coaster 2, Slitterhead, and Ravenswatch.

Every Major Video Game Release Coming Soon For PC

The PC scene never rests as games are always launching on Steam. Here is every upcoming major PC game set to debut in 2024 or later.

Xbox Games Coming Out In December 2024

Marvel Rivals, Indiana Jones, & More

December is not usually a packed month in terms of video game releases, with only the first half typically including major debuts. That said, December 2024’s Xbox lineup is not bad, and that primarily comes down to Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Also launching on PC, the game will be a temporary Xbox console exclusive, allowing Game Pass players to get their hands on the franchise’s first notable project in a long time. While the first-person angle garnered some criticism, it should play to MachineGames’ strengths.

December 2024 also has Marvel Rivals, which seems set to be the next “huge” multiplayer hero shooter. Even though these types of releases do not always hit the mark, the Marvel brand should help attract an audience. Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered is also exciting.


  • December 3: Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age (XBX/S, XBO)
  • December 5: Entropy Survivors (XBX/S)
  • December 5: Fantasia Neo Dimension (XBX/S)
  • December 5: Little Big Adventure: Twinsen’s Quest (XBX/S, XBO)
  • December 5: Symphonia (XBX/S, XBO)
  • December 6: Dog Man: Mission Impawsible (XBX/S)
  • December 6: Marvel Rivals (XBX/S)
  • December 6: Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun – Aiko’s Choice (XBX/S)
  • December 9: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (XBX/S)

Every Major Video Game Release Coming Soon For PS5 And PS4

From JRPGs to platform, racing, and fighting titles, here are all the major new PS5 games set to release in 2024 and later.

Xbox Games Coming Out In January 2025

Tales Of Graces, Sniper Elite, & More


January 2025 is not extremely packed with new Xbox games, but it does have a couple of exciting prospects that should keep people busy en route to February 2025’s biggest releases. Dynasty Warriors is the definition of an acquired taste, but Origins looks set to be a leap forward for the hack and slash series, particularly in terms of visuals. Hopefully, it is better than Dynasty Warriors 9.

JRPG fans can check out Tales of Graces f Remastered, which will be the first time this entry will be available on Xbox consoles. Putting aside the story and characters, Tales of Graces f‘s combat is generally regarded as a high point for not just the franchise but also the genre. Synduality: Echo of Ada is a looter shooter with an anime aesthetic and a lot of potential. Finally, Sniper Elite: Resistance should be another reliable entry in Rebellion’s series.


  • January 16: Morkull Ragast’s Rage (XBX/S)
  • January 17: Dynasty Warriors: Origins (XBX/S)
  • January 17: Tales of Graces f Remastered (XBX/S)
  • January 22: ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist (XBX/S, XBO)
  • January 23: Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles Remaster (XBX/S, XBO)
  • January 23: Synduality: Echo of Ada (XBX/S)
  • January 28: Cuisineer (XBX/S)
  • January 28: The Stone of Madness (XBX/S)
  • January 28: Warside (XBX/S, XBO)
  • January 30: Sniper Elite: Resistance (XBX/S, XBO)

Xbox Games Coming Out In February 2025

Avowed, Assassin’s Creed, Monster Hunter, Civilization, & More

Building on the slow but steady start of its predecessor, February 2025 should be massive across all systems. With the financial year ending in March, publishers tend to get any remaining big releases out in the preceding weeks, resulting in a month that feels overstuffed with major names. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and Civilization 7 are set to launch on the same day, although they will likely attract fairly different audiences. Both games should require significant time investments, and they are likely to keep players engaged long after February comes to an end.


The long games do not end there, though, as Assassin’s Creed Shadows will debut just a few days later. Ubisoft’s Japan-based project has not enjoyed the smoothest pre-launch life, but it could come together in the end. Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered has the tough task of modernizing and revamping three of the more polarizing entries in the franchise; if done right, Angel of Darkness might finally be worth playing.

Avowed is Xbox’s big console exclusive for February 2025, with the RPG seeming to be Obsidian’s biggest endeavor to date. Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii should be a fun and action-packed detour for Sega’s franchise, and February will come to an end with Monster Hunter Wilds. Just an exhausting month, in the best possible way.


Major Upcoming Xbox Games With Post-February 2025 Dates Or No Release Years

Kingdom Come, Elder Scrolls, & More

“Coming soon” can mean anything from a few months to a couple of years. Beyond Good and Evil 2 and Control 2 are just two games in development, but players will have to wait patiently to learn when these sequels will be made available to play.

There are so many exciting announced projects that will eventually come to the Xbox Series X/S, some of which have revealed very little information about themselves. The Elder Scrolls 6, Kingdom Hearts 4, and Ark 2 are all highly-anticipated titles that could still be a long way off from becoming a reality, and these projects are just the tip of the iceberg.
