The Latest Xbox Game Pass Lineup: Games Confirmed for 2023

On January 25, Microsoft’s Bethesda Softworks and Xbox Game Studios presented their first Developer Direct event, revealing new information and gameplay for titles like Forza Motorsport, Redfall, and Minecraft Legends. There was definitely at least one significant surprise: a new game revelation and a surprise title release. While Bethesda’s Starfield was noticeably absent, Microsoft let fans know beforehand. Clearly, here we’re speaking about the Game Pass lineup.

Below are all of the trailers for January 25, 2023, Xbox Developer Direct…

Minecraft Legends

The action-adventure game, created in collaboration with Blackbird Interactive and set in the universe of Minecraft, is where we begin. Players engage in a sort of base-building real-time strategy where they compete against one another, a team against team. The game appears to be a hybrid of Stronghold and Dragon Quest Builders. Just that only procedurally created maps can be navigated by the player’s character.

Yes, every Minecraft’s map is produced randomly, and players must explore, collect resources, and construct fortifications to protect themselves from the opposing side and wild creatures. We’re honestly excited to really get our hands on that because it seems like a great deal of fun.

Day 1 on Game Pass for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S is coming on April 18.

Forza Motorsport

Once more, Forza appears to be an incredible demonstration of the graphic capabilities of consoles. The team discusses the incredible advancements they’re making in graphics fidelity as well as the outstanding ambient and audio solutions they’re building during the showcase.

According to reports, the game would be playable in 4K at 60 FPS on the Xbox Series X. featuring 20 locales and more than 500 real racing vehicles.

Day 1 on Game Pass for PC and Xbox Series X/S will be available in 2023.

Hi-Fi Rush

Someone once more let Shinji Mikami and Suda 51 to socialize. We’re grateful. With John Johannes in charge, Tango Gameworks appears to be pursuing the other works of their illustrious creator. The Evil Within and Ghostwire: Tokyo are two of the studio’s most well-known horror films, but Shinki Mikami is also notable for having directed Godhand, one of the greatest action games ever created.

A character-driven action platformer Hi-Fi Rush is dedicated to “on beat“ combat and exploration. This appears to be the cartoon, melee version of the recently popular rhythm game shooter genre, based on what we’ve seen so far. It just functions like something of a cartoon network adaptation of Devil May Cry. You can stroke the cat, of course.

And it’s already available! On the PC and Xbox Series X/S Game Pass.

Elder Scrolls Online

While everyone waits for Starfield and the unavoidable release of Skyrim 2, People probably forget that Bethesda is still developing what may be the final version of their open-world RPG in one of their offices. Necrom, the next significant narrative expansion for Elder Scrolls Online, will soon be available. It adds a new Morrowind region to discover as well as a new Arcanist class.

There’s no excuse not to give it a try if you haven’t before and the Elder Scrolls universe is still beckoning you. Particularly now that it has been revealed that everybody who purchased the base game will get access to all previously published Chapters and Story Expansions.

With The Elder Scrolls Online, you can explore a sizable world by yourself or with the company, from the icy tundra of Skyrim to the Summer Isles. Try it out while it’s still accessible on Game Pass!

Redfall

Redfall’s release date has been announced as Arkane’s upcoming game. Furthermore, it appears to be a synthesis of all the development team has learned from games like Prey, Dishonored, and most recently Deathloop. It’s an open-world cooperative shooter that combines Arkane’s own mix of interactive sandbox sim with the gameplay of Left 4 Dead, FarCry, and Borderlands.

As vampires and their henchmen take control of Redfall, the players are pushed into a desperate struggle for survival. You have a never-ending supply of magical tools and weapons at your hands to defend yourself from the bloodsucking danger. By accomplishing chores throughout the open world, defending its residents, and returning the battle to the vampires, your objective is to reclaim the town of Redfall!

The 2nd of May 2023 is Day 1 on Xbox Series X/S and PC Game Pass.

Conclusion

As Dusk Falls by Interior Night, the Hot Wheels addition for Forza Horizon 5, and Pentiment by Obsidian were just a few of the titles published under the Xbox Game Studios brand in 2022.
