So, for the remainder of 2023 from Xbox we should be looking at something like:

  • Last week of March: Ghostwire Tokyo (Sony 1 year timed deal expires March 25th)
  • March 29: Forza Horizon 5 Rally DLC
  • April 18: Minecraft Legends
  • May 2: Redfall
  • September 6: Starfield

TBA 2023

  • Age of Empires 4 Console port (likely June or July if I had to guess)
  • Ara: History Untold (could be a summer release)
  • Forza Motorsport (likely October if I had to guess, the majority of the earlier Forza games from both sub-series were October releases, the only ones that weren't were the first 2 Motorsport games, which were May, and the ones that were console launch titles in November, Motorsport 5 and Horizon 5)

That pretty much just leaves our big Holiday window November/December game. Will there be one this year? Honestly, I kind of doubt it. While many of us assumed that Hellblade 2 or Contraband could be ready to fill the Holiday window for Xbox, recent rumors have suggested that neither will be ready this year. So unless Xbox pulls off some kind of Wolfenstein 3 surprise release date magic on us, or drops a 2nd party surprise AAA exclusive out of nowhere that Grubbins and Jez somehow didn't know about, things aren't looking good for a big Xbox Holiday window game this year. They may just release Forza Motorsport in November instead of October, or they may release it in October and that will be the final AAA Xbox release for the year.

Additionally we will likely have a few more smaller than AAA releases this year. Phil teased some more Goldeneye like remasters. Project Belfry from Stoic could be ready this year considering the earliest leaks pegged it for a 2022 release, and it is is now 2023.
