As we move further into the lifecycle of the Xbox Series X/S, Microsoft’s latest consoles are steadily building an impressive collection of games. Typically, consoles hit their stride in the later stages of their lives when developers transition to focusing exclusively on next-gen hardware, moving away from cross-gen releases. While the Xbox Series X/S hasn’t fully reached that stage yet, it’s certainly heading in the right direction.
The last few years have been fantastic for gaming, particularly within the open-world genre. Titles like Elden Ring, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, A Plague Tale: Requiem, and Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands stood out among 2022’s releases, each offering a unique experience. 2023 continued this trend, delivering hits like Dead Space, Street Fighter 6, Hi-Fi Rush, Remnant 2, Forza Motorsport, and Lies of P. But what are the Xbox titles that we’re most excited about in the coming year? Let’s explore what’s anticipated to drop in 2024.
Do keep in mind that the focus here is on the North American release dates for Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One games, with expansions included as well.
