Xbox players can look forward to Doom: The Dark Ages in May, and better yet, it's available day one on Xbox Game Pass. Beyond that there's GTA 6 at some point this year, expected to be pretty much the biggest video game release ever. Then, we'll hopefully get some news as to when we can expect Gears of War: E-Day, which serves as a prequel to the very first game.

New Xbox Series X games will start arriving thick and fast once over the next few months, with new exclusives launching on Microsoft's most powerful consoles. There's certainly a lot to look forward to for Xbox fans.

From Doom: The Dark Ages to GTA 6, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S players will have plenty of new Xbox games to keep them busy for the rest of the year, and beyond – and we're here to tell you exactly when you'll get your hands on them.

Below, we've rounded up all the release dates and windows for the biggest confirmed Xbox Series X games of 2025 and beyond. So, it's time to get your calendar out and start taking down some dates.
