Pick One: Which Xbox First-Party Game Are You Most Excited To Play This Year?

An exciting year ahead!

by Ben Kerry Yesterday, 12pm

As we mentioned in our Xbox Developer Direct article a few weeks back, Xbox has a pretty stacked games lineup heading into 2025, with multiple first-party titles already scheduled to release this year. The question is, which of these games are you most excited about at this stage?

Right now at least, only one of these has a confirmed release date in Avowed, but the rest are all planned for release sometime in 2025 too. We’ve heard rumblings of potential March and May launches for South of Midnight and DOOM: The Dark Ages respectively, but neither of those have been announced yet – and that would make for a packed first part of the year for Xbox if it were to shake out that way.

It’s expected that The Outer Worlds 2 will be later in the year — especially with Obsidian dropping Avowed in February — and given the ambitious nature of Xbox’s Fable reboot, we’re not anticipating that one just yet either. We hope they both still make the cut for 2025 though!

Anyway, regardless of whereabouts they land in the year, which of these Xbox games are you the most excited to play in 2025? You can only pick one in the poll down below – so choose wisely and talk to us about your top choice down in the comments section.

Here’s hoping we get to play all of these Xbox first-party games sometime in 2025!
