Description

At this point, the Xbox Series X/S is a known commodity that has a pretty respectable library of games, covering both major AAA projects and indie darlings. Microsoft opted for a dual-tier system for this generation, offering the high-end Xbox Series X alongside the more budget-friendly Xbox Series S, with the latter being digital-only.

Game Pass has continued to flourish over the last few years, with any Xbox console exclusives typically debuting directly on the subscription service. The last few years have produced plenty of fantastic games, particularly in the open-world genre. What upcoming 2025 Xbox games are the most exciting? Which titles will come out in the remainder of 2025?

Please note that the focus is on the North American release dates of Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One games. Expansions will also be listed. That said, this lineup is not exhaustive, as the focus is on major games.

Updated September 13, 2025, by Mark Sammut: The upcoming Xbox Series X games have been added to the calendar: Moon Mystery, Puzzle Quest: Immortal Edition, Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer, Forgive Me Father 2, Cities: Skylines – Shops of Shibuya, Republic of Pirates, Candy Rangers, Flying Aces: Legend of the Red Baron, Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch, Barbie Horse Trails, Chickenhare and the treasure of Spiking-Beard, Football Manager 26, Samurai Academy: Paws of Fury, The Berlin Apartment, DUSK INDEX: GION, Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3, Heian City Story, Gang Wars – Cards and Bullets, Radiant: Guardians of Light, Hidden Objects with Edgar Allan Poe, Battle Puzzle 2048 – Wicked Witches, Nocturnal Whispers, Dreamed Away, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage Standard Edition, Celestial Fall, Horror Tale 3: The Witch, Zumba World – The Lost Marble Island, Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake, Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined.

Xbox Games Coming Out In September 2025

Silksong, Borderlands, Sonic Racing, EA Sports FC, Frostpunk, Dying Light, & More

September 2025 has come along nicely. Hollow Knight: Silksong is one of the year’s biggest games, and Team Cherry’s sequel has more than lived up to the hype. Borderlands 4 is among the year’s standout FPS releases, along with the definitive looter shooter. Gearbox initially announced a September 23 release date, before announcing a move up to the 12th of the month. People who tend to prefer melee combat will want to keep an eye on Hell is Us. Silent Hill f is also a major deal, particularly for horror fans who have been craving a completely new addition to Konami’s franchise for a long time. I am one of them.

Frostpunk 2 has confirmed its console debut, bringing one of the best city-builders (and survival) games to the Xbox Series X/S. Dying Light: The Beast should be, at worst, a good open-world horror game; at best, it could be one of the year’s strongest releases. EA Sports FC 26 will obviously be one of the biggest games of 2025.

9 Things Borderlands 4 Should Avoid

Everyone’s excited about the upcoming release of Borderlands 4 but Gearbox needs to avoid making these mistakes.

Xbox Games Coming Out In October 2025

Battlefield, Ninja Gaiden 4, Outer Worlds 2, Little Nightmares 3, & More

October 2025 could be 2025’s biggest month for gaming, particularly for Xbox. Every week includes at least a couple of major releases, and they cover a pretty impressive range of genres. JRPG fans will want to check out Digimon Story: Time Stranger or the HD-2D remakes of the first two Dragon Quest games. If you are into shooters, Painkiller should be a blast, and The Outer Worlds 2 is also one of the month’s biggest releases.

Personally, Ninja Gaiden 4 is my most anticipated Xbox game of 2025, and PlatinumGames’ sequel will launch directly on Game Pass. On the same day, Jurassic World Evolution 3 will also debut. Little Nightmares 3 and Arc Raiders are also big deals. Finally, EA’s Battlefield 6 will probably be the month’s biggest game.

Xbox Games Coming Out In November 2025

COD Black Ops 7, Farming Simulator, Anno, SpongeBob, & More

November 2025 only needs one Xbox game to be among the year’s biggest: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. For some people, Activision’s upcoming multiplayer shooter is the only game that matters, and they will push it to the top of the year’s best-selling projects. For others, COD is just not something that attracts their interest anymore, even though the upcoming release will be on Game Pass.

If you are not interested in BO7, you might want to keep an eye on Anno 117, Unbeatable, Outlaws, and Project Motor Racing. These games cover a pretty wide range of genres, so they should be able to keep most people busy. 3D platformer fans can pick up SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide. Football Manager 26 should finally be coming out, with the game debuting on November 4 and coming immediately to Game Pass.

November 4: Farming Simulator 25: Highlands Fishing (XBX/S)

Xbox Games Coming Out In December 2025

Octopath Traveler, Mortal Kombat, & More

Octopath Traveler 0 Break in Format Playing With Fire

Historically, December has not been great for new releases. The second half of the month often has no major games, while the first half tends to be pretty underwhelming compared to November. Still, the upcoming edition has a few exciting Xbox Series games, including Octopath Traveler 0.

December 4: Octopath Traveler 0 (XBX/S)
December 4: Toxic Crusaders (XBX/S)
December 12: Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection (XBX/S, XBO)

Major 2025 Xbox Games With No Release Dates

Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Games (2025 & Beyond)

The Nintendo Switch 2 has only begun to write its story, and the console’s future features Metroid, Kirby, Mario, and more.

Major Upcoming Xbox Games With 2026 Debuts Or No Release Year

Kingdom Come, Elder Scrolls, & More

“Coming soon” can mean anything from a few months to a couple of years. Beyond Good and Evil 2 and Control 2 are just two games in development, but players will have to wait patiently to learn when these sequels will be made available to play.

There are so many exciting announced projects that will eventually come to the Xbox Series X/S, some of which have revealed very little information about themselves. The Elder Scrolls 6, Kingdom Hearts 4, and Ark 2 are all highly anticipated titles that could still be a long way off from becoming a reality, and these projects are just the tip of the iceberg.
