Future Xbox Series X Releases Planned for 2025 and Later

The Xbox Series X/S has established itself as a popular gaming console with a solid library that spans from blockbuster AAA titles to indie favorites. Microsoft has provided two options this generation: the premium Xbox Series X and the more cost-effective Xbox Series S, which exclusively offers digital content.

Over the past few years, Game Pass has thrived, often showcasing exclusive Xbox titles right at launch on the service. The recent years have seen the release of many exceptional games, particularly in the open-world segment. What anticipated Xbox titles for 2025 are generating excitement? Which games can we expect to release in the remainder of 2025?

Keep in mind, this list highlights the North American release dates for Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One titles, including expansions. However, this is not an all-encompassing list; it focuses primarily on major titles.

Updated October 26, 2025: The calendar for upcoming Xbox Series X titles has been further developed with games such as Science Skaters, Chicken Run: Eggstraction, Flying Aces: Legend of the Red Baron, and many more including fan-favorites like Halo and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora – From the Ashes Edition.
