With the highly anticipated Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 set to launch in November, we can confidently say that in 2025, Xbox Game Studios has been the publisher that has released the most and best games throughout the year. Both in terms of quantity and quality, we’ve had a year that few companies can boast about, with games that have covered all genres and allowed every player to enjoy an experience tailored to their taste.

We haven’t even finished 2025 yet, but we can already take a look at what’s in store for 2026 from Xbox Game Studios. Following 2025, they have a tough act to follow, but as things stand, with just the four games they have lined up so far for next year, it’s going to be tough for any other publisher to rival that achievement.

• Avowed — The new RPG from Obsidian set in the Pillars of Eternity universe, featuring first-person combat, exploration freedom, and a story packed with decision-making.
