As the Xbox Series X/S enjoys its third 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.
2022 produced many stellar games, particularly in the open-world genre. Elden Ring, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, A Plague Tale: Requiem, and Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands are all good or great, and they offer wildly different experiences from each other. The year’s successor has largely followed suit with projects like Dead Space, Street Fighter 6, Hi-Fi Rush, Remnant 2, Starfield, and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, and there is still a lot of gaming to be done before 2023 ends its run.
What Xbox games are coming soon? Which titles are expected to drop after 2023? 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 8, 2023: The upcoming Xbox games were added to the calendar over the last week: Grace of Letoile, Remnant 2: The Awakened King, Orten Was The Case, Hammerwatch 2, Hades’ Star.
November 2023 Xbox Series X/S & Xbox One Games
November 2023 has kept the good times rolling as nearly every week contains a few substantial games. In the first few days, My Time at Sandrock and RoboCop: Rogue City came out, as did Microsoft Flight Simulator‘s Dune expansion. Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 also made its debut, granting fighting fans another alternative to Super Smash Bros. One of November’s biggest releases is Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, a spin-off set after Yakuza 6. Kiryu returns as the story’s protagonist.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is, obviously, the most mainstream game scheduled for this month. The sequel will continue Task Force 141’s journey in a campaign that has garnered quite a lot of criticism, and the multiplayer will include an ambitious Zombies mode. Speaking of zombies, The Walking Dead: Destinies is set to come out in November. The game’s debut trailer garnered a mixed reception, but it might still be interesting for fans of the franchise. Persona 5 Tactica is also confirmed for November 17.

December 2023 Xbox Series X/S & Xbox One Games
December is not typically one of the most packed months of the year, and the last two weeks tend to have almost no major releases. The 2023 edition is largely shaping up to be the same as usual, although the month does start out strong with SteamWorld Build and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. The latter definitely has the potential to be among the year’s most exciting releases, even if it has had a confusing lead-up so far. Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is also worth keeping an eye on since the grimdark franchise has been producing quality titles in recent years, and there is hope that this RPG will continue that trend.

Xbox 2023 Games With No Exact Date
More than a hundred games have been announced for 2023, some of which have yet to specify an exact release date. Projects like Dune Awakening could launch within the current year, although official announcements might still be a ways off. The year still has a ways to go before it ends, so more huge titles will likely be announced and slated for the coming months.

January 2024 Xbox Series X/S & Xbox One Games
As is often the case, January 2024’s opening few weeks are largely lacking in releases, although a few titles are scheduled to drop during that period. However, the month should pick up steam as it goes along, starting with January 15’s Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Now, admittedly, the spin-off game has not attracted universal excitement since its announcement, but Ubisoft Montpellier’s resume is quite impressive. The developer is responsible for the last decade’s Rayman projects, which are both fantastic side-scrolling platform games. Hopefully, The Lost Crown is cut from the same cloth.
Alone in the Dark‘s reboot/revival seems to take a few pages from Resident Evil‘s recent playbook, and it could prove to be among the better horror games of 2024. That said, the franchise’s track record is not great, so some healthy skepticism is advised. Toward the end of January, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and Tekken 8 will be making their debuts on the same day, and they are both projects that can keep someone entertained for a long while. Sega’s Like a Dragon franchise has become synonymous with great storytelling, and there is nothing to suggest Infinite Wealth will fail to live up to the license’s high standards.
Major Xbox Games In Development With No Release Year or Post-January 2024 Estimation
“Coming soon” can mean anything from a few months to a couple of years. Beyond Good and Evil 2, Dragon Age 4, and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 are all in development, but players will have to wait patiently to learn when these games 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.

Rumored Xbox Games
Just because a project has not been officially announced doesn’t mean it cannot be discussed. Some rumored games, such as Gears 6, should happen sooner or later.
All these games are suspect to speculation and nothing more. Therefore, they should all be taken with a grain of salt.
