Xbox Series X exclusives coming in 2022

Microsoft has two console exclusives this year, both of which will be heading to Xbox Game Pass on day one. Unfortunately, Starfield was scheduled for November 11, 2022, but was delayed until early 2023.

🌇 As Dusk Falls - July 19

As Dusk Falls is an original interactive drama with multiplayer support for up to eight players. It’s being made by Caroline Marchal, formerly at Quantic Dream. Your choices will directly affect the lives of each character in the game, which has a striking graphic novel art style.

🦴 Scorn - October 21

Scorn is an unsettling first-person shooter inspired by the visual artists H. R. Giger and Zdzislaw Beksinski. You’ll explore a nightmarish setting filled with many fleshy things, bone-like constructs, and alien lifeforms. The game will be available on Xbox Game Pass on day one, October 21.

📕 Pentiment - November TBC

Pentiment is the next game from famed developer Obsidian. The game’s art style mimics a medieval manuscript, and you’ll be tasked with trying to prove your mentor’s innocence, who has been wrongfully accused of murder. Pentiment will feature plenty of player choice, and your actions will impact how the game plays out. This could be special if you’re a fan of narrative adventure games.

🏆 Best Xbox Series X games released in 2022

After a fantastic holiday season, there’s been a notable lack of marquee releases on Microsoft’s new consoles. The delay to Starfield hasn’t helped this situation, but Xbox Game Pass has at least plugged the gaps with some great titles.

So far, my favorite game on Xbox Series X|S in 2022 is Tunic. It’s like The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past but with a splash of Dark Souls mixed in. You can download Tunic from Xbox Game Pass, so give it a try if you’re curious.

Here are the best Xbox Series X|S games released in 2022:

• 💍 Elden Ring - February 25, 2022

• 🦊 Tunic - March 16, 2022 (available on Xbox Game Pass)

• 💤 Citizen Sleeper - May 5, 2022 (available on Xbox Game Pass)

• 🎯 Sniper Elite 5 - May 26, 2022 (available on Xbox Game Pass)

• 🐢 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shedder’s Revenge - June 16, 2022 (available on Xbox Game Pass)
