As we dive deeper into the life of the Xbox Series X/S, we’re witnessing Microsoft’s console steadily building an impressive game collection. Generally, consoles hit their stride mid-cycle, as developers start focusing less on cross-generation games and more on the new systems. While the Series X/S hasn’t fully transitioned yet, it’s certainly on track.
Recent years have graced us with fantastic open-world adventures. Titles like Elden Ring, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, A Plague Tale: Requiem, and Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands made 2022 quite memorable with a mix of unique experiences. 2023 wasn’t left behind either, bringing us gems like Dead Space, Street Fighter 6, Hi-Fi Rush, Remnant 2, Forza Motorsport, and Lies of P. So, what’s coming in 2024 that has us excited?
Our focus is mainly on North American release dates for Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One games, including expansions.
As we update on November 27, 2024, the year winds down, unveiling fewer new titles for 2024. But fear not, exciting games like Railroads Online, Road Maintenance Simulator 2 – Winter Services, Hunting Simulator 3, Glitch Hero, and others are set to hit the platform.
