New Xbox Series X games 2025 - the most anticipated Xbox release dates

Xbox EA SPORTS TBC

What's the next big game on Xbox?

Xbox players can look forward to Assassin's Creed Shadows, and South of Midnight later this year. Beyond that, there's a whole host of first-party offerings on the horizon, including titles like Doom: The Dark Ages, and Fable. The latter is yet to receive a full release date, and just got pushed into 2026, so hopefully we see more on the game sooner rather than later.

New Xbox Series X games will start arriving thick and fast once over the next few months, with new exclusives launching on Microsoft's most powerful consoles. There's certainly a lot to look forward to for Xbox fans.

From South of Midnight to GTA 6, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S players will have plenty of new Xbox games to keep them busy for the rest of the year, and beyond – and we're here to tell you exactly when you'll get your hands on them.

Below, we've rounded up all the release dates and windows for the biggest confirmed Xbox Series X games of 2025 and beyond. So, it's time to get your calendar out and start taking down some dates. As always, these release dates are subject to delays. If any games are pushed back, this page will be updated.
