Microsoft’s platform is progressively accumulating a solid library as the Xbox Series X/S is enjoying its third year of release. Until the later part of their life, when cross-generational content becomes less important and creators are free to concentrate only on creating games for the newest platforms, consoles usually do not thrive. Though progress is being made, the Xbox Series X/S has not yet reached that stage.
A lot of excellent games were released in 2022, especially in the open-world category. A Plague Tale: Requiem, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Elden Ring, and Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands are all excellent games that provide vastly distinct experiences from one another. With titles like Dead Space, Street Fighter 6, Hi-Fi Rush, Remnant 2, Starfield, Forza Motorsport, and Lies of P, the year’s successor has followed suit, and more gaming has to be done before 2023 puts a stop to its tenure.
What upcoming Xbox games are there? Which games will likely be discontinued after 2023? Please be aware that the emphasis is on the Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One game releases in North America. The expansions will be noted as well.
Xbox Series X/S & Xbox One Games December 2023
There are usually very few big releases in the final two weeks of December, and it’s not usually one of the busiest months of the year. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and SteamWorld Build gave the month a great start, but otherwise, the 2023 version is looking very much the same. Despite a rather confused lead-up, the latter has the potential to be one of the most thrilling releases of the year. Given that Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader has garnered positive reviews overall, it is also worthwhile to play.

Xbox Series X/S & Xbox One Games January 2024
The first few weeks of January 2024 are often devoid of new releases, however a couple are set to arrive throughout that time. Both of the developer’s outstanding side-scrolling platform games over the past ten years are Rayman titles.
A few long-lasting projects that will be released at the end of January are Tekken 8 and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, which both have simultaneous premiere dates. The excellent storyline has come to be associated with Sega’s Like a Dragon series, and there’s no reason to believe Infinite Wealth won’t live up to the high expectations of the license.
