You’re about to get an exciting look at some of the incredible games ahead with Xbox, as we present a new edition of Developer_Direct. On Thursday, January 18 at 12pm PT / 3pm ET / 8pm UK, fans will get an inside look at a selection of highly anticipated games coming to Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Game Pass. Shortly after, ZeniMax Online Studios will host The Elder Scrolls Online 2024 Global Reveal at 1pm PT / 4pm ET / 9pm UK to preview 2024’s biggest update.

Presented by the game creators themselves, Developer_Direct offers an in-depth look at upcoming titles, how they’re being created, and who’s creating them. We’ll visit MachineGames in Sweden to check in on their Indiana Jones game, swing by Obsidian’s Irvine offices to see more from Avowed, head to Oxide Games’ Maryland home to learn about Ara: History Untold, and take a trip to Cambridge, England to see Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II from Ninja Theory. Please note that while this show won’t have updates on games from Activision Blizzard, you can look forward to news from those teams later this year.

Confirmed that they'll be showing off extended previews of the new Indiana Jones game from MachineGames, Obsidian's RPG Avowed, Senua's Saga: Hellblade II and a new strategy game Ara: History Untold.

Is this finally the year where Xbox starts kicking ass? It definitely looks like a decent slate from them this year, looking forward to it!

After 2023 unless there's a substantial rework of how Microsoft Game Studios is run I'm not sure any year is the year Xbox will start kicking ass.
