For the first half of the year, Xbox has already given a fair share of awesome video games to the community. However, after an enormous number of amazing newly Xbox games released this year, Xbox seems unfinished yet in sharing another load of unskippable games to try for this year.
Since the second half of the year has just begun, new Xbox games are still coming into your libraries. In fact, the community has already been talking about this game prior to its release. And to make you think like us that this waiting game is a thrilling one, we have listed down some of the announced upcoming games in Xbox.
STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl
Games that are alluded to in real-life events are probably one of the most interesting fantasy games to exist. One example of it is STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Here, you will play as Skif who will explore the area of the nuclear explosion to discover several unexpected encounters. This includes mutant monsters that are great threats to humanity.
The game devs already announced that this will be a single-player action-survival game. However, you can still opt to try the game with your friends using the Multiplayer mode. It is actually expected to have people play this with friends because survivability seems higher if there is the power of friendship.
The game will be available on November 20, 2024, on Xbox Series X/S, and PC only. What makes it more exciting for Xbox users is that it will be included in the Game Pass, so make sure to buy Xbox digital gift card to be one of the first players to experience the game.
Star Wars Outlaws
One of the talks of the community is the expected release of Star Wars Outlaw on August 30, 2024. This is an open-world action and adventure game that will feature an environment in another galaxy.
If you are familiar with Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, you might be curious how this one goes. In fact, the timeline of Star Wars Outlaws is basically between the first two games. So, to fill the void and questions regarding those two, playing Star Wars Outlaw may give you the answers you want. You can play this on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions
After the success of the Hogwarts Legacy, the community was left hanging as they continued to wonder and ask the developers why the quidditch match or even an event was not included in the game. Little did they know that a completely separate game which is solely for the quidditch games will also be made for them.
You can play this on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4 and 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC after its release on September 3, 2024.
This multiplayer sports-action game will make you rage for victory as you ride your brooms and chase the golden ball. It is a 6v6 game, comprising 3 players per team. Given that there are three slots per team, this means that each player must fill a role in order to complete the team lineup.
To complete the team lineup, the players must abide by the rules that each should claim a role as the Keeper, the Beater, and the Seeker. But what makes it different from the book and the movie, all players here are Chasers despite their other roles to fill.
The Casting of Frank Stone
Players who are into bone-deep thrilling games might enjoy The Casting of Frank Stone. This is because the game focuses on the flow of the game’s story plot by giving the players a narrative style of the game.

Compared to the first Life is Strange, Max has already matured, and so is her power. Given that she can easily travel from one parallel world to another at her own will, it can be easily said that Max’s power has become even stronger making it cause a possible disaster worse than the storm in Arcadia Bay.
