Xbox 2025 Game Lineup: More Than You're Expecting
Hot off the success of the Minecraft movie, Xbox CEO Phil Spencer was interviewed. While film adaptations were central, gamers listened for news on games. Spencer offered hints about Xbox plans for the remainder of 2025. He affirmed one thing: there's more to come than we know.
Feeling "Great" About What's Ahead
Spencer expressed he was "great" about Xbox's game slate for the rest of 2025. He mentioned known titles like the released Avowed, praising Obsidian's work, The Outer Worlds 2, South of Midnight, and the teased new Doom game. Then came the hint of more.
"There's more content, some content that isn't announced and I'm walking around in my head so I don't drop anything."
More games are in development, ready to surprise. What will they be
Whispers of Remasters and Rumored Collections
One title Spencer likely avoided naming is the remastered The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. An official announcement is rumored to be coming soon. Imagine revisiting Cyrodiil with updated visuals.
Rumors also circulate about potential Gears of War and Halo collections on PlayStation and possibly Nintendo systems. These rumors have quieted recently, but Xbox has kept secrets before, like the Oblivion remaster. More news on these collections or other surprises may arrive soon.
Nintendo: A "Great Partner" and Support in the Future
Spencer also spoke about the future Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox's eagerness to support it. He emphasized the strong partnership between Nintendo and Xbox.
"We feel that it's a new approach for us to connect with players who aren't PC players, who aren't Xbox players. I'm really a strong fan of what Nintendo does for this industry and for us to keep investing in them. And to have them back our franchises, I feel, is in our future."
This indicates Xbox's ongoing commitment to expanding its reach and embracing industry collaboration.
Eyes on the June Showcase
A clearer picture of Xbox's 2025 vision will come in their June presentation. This event should reveal more about the "more stuff" titles and the complete Xbox gaming ecosystem in 2025. Expect potential surprises.
Game Pass: The Ever-Expanding Ecosystem
Spencer highlighted Xbox Game Pass's importance. He sees it as providing gamers choice and value, noting its continued growth, especially on PC and cloud. While not for everyone, it's central to Xbox's plans to reach more gamers with more games.
Whether through Game Pass or game purchases, Xbox aims to offer options for all. With rumors of unannounced titles and a strong announced lineup, 2025 looks exciting for Xbox gamers.
