Which Announced Xbox First Party Games Are You Most Excited for?

It’s no secret that Microsoft’s first-party Xbox developers have been on a hiatus this year, especially in terms of the comprehensive AAA experiences we’ve come to expect from the platform holder. The fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic hasn’t been good for Xbox, with the year being particularly barren due to game delays.

Yet a new year has begun, and our sights are firmly set on the achievements and potential of Xbox Game Studios in 2023. Starfield’s triple threat, Redfall, and Forza Motorsport are still due in the first half of 2023, not to mention the extensive list of Xbox exclusives that currently have no exact dates attached to them.

Of the many XGS games announced so far, which is your most anticipated release? Is this one of the “triple threat” games coming in the first half of 2023, or do you have any predictions for Team Xbox for fall 2023 and beyond?

At Pure Xbox HQ, we’re hoping that Ninja Theory will release Hellblade 2 this year after the great demo they showed off at The Game Awards 2021 (2022). Hopefully, the team will share more details about their future work in the following weeks and months.
