Xbox Series X exclusives releasing in 2023

Microsoft may have been light on exclusives in 2022, but that’s all set to change this year. Several exclusive Xbox Series X games are due to release throughout 2023 and they’re all coming to Xbox Game Pass on day one. We just need Microsoft to share some solid release dates.

Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition - January 31

After much demand, Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition is finally set to conquer Xbox consoles in January. The real-time strategy games have been adapted to work with a controller and we can’t wait to lay siege on our enemies from the comfort of the couch.

Age of Empires 4 - TBC 2023

Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition isn’t the only AoE game on the way to Xbox. Age of Empires 4 is also on the way, meaning fans of the series will have plenty of skirmishes to sink their teeth into this year.

Forza Motorsport - TBC 2023

Developer Turn 10’s racing sim looks to offer the generational leap fans were hoping for. With real-time ray tracing on track and a dynamic day and night system, we can’t wait to get behind the wheel in Forza Motorsport.

Starfield - TBC 2023

Will Starfield be able to recreate the success of games like Skyrim and Fallout? Microsoft will be hoping that the next game from Todd Howard delivers in a big way, as fans have been eagerly awaiting the spacefaring first-person RPG ever since its announcement.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 - TBC 2023

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 was supposed to release last year, but development has been extremely challenging. The Ukrainian studio has been directly impacted by the war with Russia which continues to affect the game and has already taken the lives of the studio’s employees who volunteered to fight. We’re all rooting for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 to be a success when it releases sometime this year.

Redfall - May 2, 2023

Another blockbuster release, Redfall is being developed by Dishonored and Prey creators Arkane Studios. An open-world, co-op FPS, you’ll need to team up with friends to survive a vampire invasion and unravel the mystery behind their appearance.

🏆 Best Xbox Series X games released in 2022

After a fantastic 2021 holiday season, there was a notable lack of marquee releases on Microsoft’s new consoles in 2022. The delay to Starfield didn’t help the situation, but Xbox Game Pass at least plugged the gaps with some great titles.

• ➡️ These are all the Xbox Series X 120fps games

My favorite games on Xbox Series X|S in 2022 were Tunic and Vampire Survivors. Tunic is like The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past but with a splash of Dark Souls mixed in, while Vampire Survivors is an incredibly addictive game where you collect power-ups and fend off thousands of enemies in a bid to survive. You can download Tunic and Vampire Survivors from Xbox Game Pass, so give them 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)
