The Xbox Series X/S has established itself as a formidable platform with a diverse library of games, ranging from blockbuster AAA titles to beloved indie gems. Microsoft's strategy of offering both the high-performance Xbox Series X and the more budget-friendly, digital-only Xbox Series S has catered to a wide audience. The success of Game Pass, which often launches Xbox exclusives directly on the service, has further enhanced the gaming experience for subscribers.
Recent years have seen a surge in exceptional games, especially within the open-world genre. 2022 brought us memorable titles like Elden Ring, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, A Plague Tale: Requiem, and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, each offering unique and engaging experiences. In 2023, the trend continued with hits like Dead Space, Street Fighter 6, Hi-Fi Rush, Remnant 2, Forza Motorsport, and Lies of P. The year 2024 was no less impressive, with anticipated releases such as S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. As we look ahead to 2025, what exciting Xbox games can we expect? Let's explore the lineup for the upcoming year.
Please note that the focus is on the North American release dates of Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One games. Expansions are also included.
Updated January 8, 2025: Although new game announcements have been somewhat slow this year, the pace is expected to pick up. Over the past week, the following games were added to the 2025 calendar: Agatha Christine: Death On The Nile, Vanity Fair: The Pursuit, Mineral, and Professor Doctor Jetpack.

February 2025 is set to be a powerhouse month for gaming across all platforms.
