The Xbox Bethesda Showcase has just taken place with the presentation specifically (and luckily) focused on the games that will be released from now until the end of June 2023: there are no trailers for the “we’ll finally get them” titles beyond next fiscal year.
As expected, many of the games announced here will arrive in Game Pass on the first day and will all be available for console and PC (and in some cases in the cloud).
The biggest announcement was that “Diablo IV” and a new “Forza Motorsport” will arrive in the first half of 2023 along with an expanded gameplay look at Bethesda’s delayed “Starfield” and “Redfall” titles. Hideo Kojima also appeared to confirm that his Xbox game is still coming (but not next year).
It was also announced that the “Person” franchise will hit Xbox with the third, fourth and fifth titles making the leap. Riot Games has teamed up with Game Pass to unlock your experiences with their biggest computer and mobile games. “Naraka: Bladepoint” also hits Game Pass on its console debut.
In addition, some titles set key release dates, such as the sequel “Overwatch” for October 4th and “Scorn” for October 21st. Here are all the trailers that were shown:
