2022 produced a number of stellar games, particularly in the open-world genre. Elden Ring, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, and Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands are all good-to-great, and they offer wildly different experiences from each other. While big releases slowed down a bit after the end of March, things started to pick up again in September and October with A Plague Tale: Requiem, Persona 5 Royal, Overwatch 2, Modern Warfare 2, and Grounded​​​​​​.

January 2023 Xbox Series X/S & Xbox One Games

January 2023’s opening two weeks lacked much in the way of games; however, the month has picked up momentum as it has gone along. Anime fans can try Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot on the Xbox Series X/S, and people who own the Xbox One version will receive the free current-gen upgrade. One Piece Odyssey came out on the same day as DBZ, and it is a respectable turn-based JRPG.

Persona 4 Golden and Persona 3 Portable were ported to not only Xbox hardware but also released on Game Pass. Persona 5 Royal was the first title in the series to make the jump to a Microsoft system, and its predecessors have finally followed suit. While not as visually impressive as their successor, P4G and P3P are nevertheless highly regarded turn-based JRPGs with fantastic stories.

SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake is a 3D platformer starring Nickelodeon’s icon, and the game is developed by the same company behind Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated. The biggest release of January 2023 is undoubtedly the Dead Space remake, developed by Motive Studio. This project will be the first entry in the series in almost a decade.

February 2023 Xbox Series X/S & Xbox One Games

A number of big titles have been confirmed for February 2023, and the month will hit the ground running. Deliver Us the Moon’s sequel, Deliver Us Mars, looks primed to be a fascinating sci-fi adventure, and the game was delayed from a planned September 2022 debut. Hogwarts Legacy is one of the standout games of 2023’s early months, allowing fans of Harry Potter to step into this universe as they become wizards and witches.

Soleil’s Wanted: Dead should be on the radar for hack and slash fans, particularly ones fond of the developer’s previous titles like Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time and Valkyrie Elysium. Tales of Symphonia Remastered will be making its way to last-gen consoles, and it is generally considered to be among the strongest entries in the action JRPG franchise.

Originally released in 2014 in Japan, Ryū ga Gotoku Ishin! will be making its way to Western nations in the form of a remake called Like a Dragon: Ishin! This spin-off recasts Yakuza’s characters as samurai. February 2023 should end on a high note with Destiny 2’s next expansion, Lightfall.

March 2023 Xbox Series X/S & Xbox One Games

March 2023 looks set to be a memorable month for gaming, and the month should have a strong start with Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. Developed by Team Ninja, the latter follows in the footsteps of the company’s previous hack and slash projects, specifically Ninja Gaiden and Nioh. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty will also launch directly on Xbox Game Pass, making the title immediately accessible to subscribers.

Originally a Japanese-exclusive Wii game, Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is finally set to make its Western debut in March 2023. The horror game is generally regarded as a respectable entry in Koei Tecmo’s cult classic franchise. Capcom’s Resident Evil 4 Remake will be coming out towards the end of March, modernizing the 2005 classic for the current generation.

March 3: Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty (XBX/S, XBO) March 7: Melon Journey: Bittersweet Memories (XBX/S, XBO) March 9: Caverns of Mars: Recharged (XBO) March 9: Clash: Artifacts of Chaos (XBX/S, XBO) March 9: Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse (XBX/S, XBO) March 9: Figment 2: Creed Valley (XBX/S, XBO) March 9: Monster Energy Supercross - The Official Videogame 6 (XBX/S, XBO) March 9: Transport Fever 2: Console Edition (XBX/S, XBO) March 10: DC Justice League: Cosmic Chaos (XBX/S, XBO) March 10: Mato Anomalies (XBX/S, XBO) March 10: Volley Pals (XBO) March 14: The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure (XBO) March 14: WWE 2K23 (XBX/S, XBO) March 16: Anno 1800 Console Edition (XBX/S) March 17: Peppa Pig: World Adventures (XBX/S, XBO) March 24: EA Sports PGA Tour (XBX/S) March 24: Resident Evil 4 Remake (XBX/S) March 28: Crime Boss: Rockay City (XBX/S) March 28: MLB The Show 23 (XBX/S, XBO) March 30: Saga of Sins (XBX/S) March 31: Aery - Calm Mind 3 (XBO) March 31: Blade Assault (XBX/S, XBO) March 31: Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle (XBX/S, XBO)

April 2023 Xbox Series X/S & Xbox One Games

It is still early days for April 2023, although a couple of exciting releases have been penciled in for the month. Meet Your Maker is a first-person shooter revolving around levels designed for players. Provided it finds an audience, this game could be one of the year’s surprises. God of Rock is a fighting game built upon rhythm mechanics that pits musicians against each other in battles for supremacy. The title will come with a single-player story mode, along with the standard multiplayer options.

Ad Infinitum is a psychological horror game set during a war, while Afterimage is a side-scrolling Metroidvania. The month looks set to close with one of 2023’s biggest releases in Dead Island 2, a sequel that has been long in the making. Set in Los Angeles and San Francisco, the open-world game should give players plenty of opportunity to smash zombies in the face with a myriad of unique weapons.

Xbox 2023 Games With A Post-March Release Date Or No Exact Date

More than a hundred games have been announced for 2023, many of which have yet to specify an exact release date. That said, a few major games have clarified their debut plans. Street Fighter 6, Diablo 4, and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be dropping between the end of May and the beginning of June 2023, granting Xbox Series X/S owners a couple of weeks of high-profile releases.

At the moment, only a small sliver of 2023’s calendar has been filled. Projects like Alan Wake 2, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Dune Awakening, Exoprimal, and The Lord of the Rings - Gollum could be launching within the current year, although an official date announcement might still be a ways off.

Microsoft has quite a few massive console exclusives announced for 2023 as well. Starfield is about as big of a title as they come, and Bethesda’s sci-fi RPG will undoubtedly dominate discourse when it debuts. Arkane’s Redfall is also expected to drop in 2023, providing first-person shooter fans with a vampire-themed project to look forward to. Racing aficionados should keep an eye out for Forza Motorsport.

Major Xbox Games In Development With No Release Year Or A Post-2023 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.
