H2 2023 is a best case date for Hellblade 2, I refuse to put my hopes on best case dates nowadays though. Much better to be conservative.
Also, I’m throwing something at my TV if u see Hellblade, Redfall, or Starfield at TGAs.

So what are the expected big Game Pass Day 1 games (third party and first party) for the H1 2023?
- Atomic Heart
- Wo Long
- Redfall
- Forza Motorsport
- Starfield
What games did I miss?
This should be the list. Persona 3+4 are ports, Ara History Untold probably a smaller game and Diablo 4 is a big question mark.
Maybe Ark 2 as a big game ?

Maaaan…EVERY time. It’s always something: Xbox Fan: Hey, $1 for your first month or $15 per month." PS Only Fan: “Meh…I don’t like to stream games” Xbox Fan: “Well they also let you download it as well” PS Only Fan: “Well…I like to buy my games to support the developer…” Xbox Fan: “Well that’s good too! If you like the game, you can go-ahead and buy it, sometimes at a discount too!” PS Only Fan: “Meh…Xbox doesn’t have the games I like” Etc etc etc lol! IDK if people are PURPOSEFULLY not wanting to research all the pros with GamePass or gamers these days just aren’t up to speed like us OG’s lol! Anyways #EndRant lol

Too hard to keep track of for third party, lots of games like Lies of P still have vague 2023 windows too.
First party you’re missing Minecraft Legends.

I think Starfield in April, Redfall in June and Forza in September with the big game for Winter 2023 being pushed back to 2024 due to Covid. I think that game was either Hellblade 2 or Avowed.
Although if the Activision deal goes through by the summer of 2023 then they have an ABK next Winter to use as the end of the year big 1st party game.
I would include Ara too though. It is a big grand strategy no? Ark 2 should be big too (one of those games that nobody plays 
)
- Atomic Heart
- Wo Long
- Redfall
- Forza Motorsport
- Starfield
- Minecraft Legends
- Ara
- Lies of P? - no release date
- Diablo 4? - who knows when the deal closes
- Ark 2
Civilization like game I believe. Although Humankind is on Gamepass already.
True, but I was talking about 2023. Humankind is already out.
Would Ara drop after Humankind goes off Gamepass? Humankind keeps 4X strategy gamers happy until Microsofts own 4X game comes out permanently on PC Gamepass?
Starfield looks better every time I see it… also playing through Skyrim again now and that’s doing a great of hyping me up for Starfield. The first major current gen WRPG!!

Apart from first party releases, it is amazing to have Atomic Heart and Wo Long as confirmed Game Pass releases with day a date in the beginnings of the year.

I’m ready for 2023 to be like October-November of 2022 on steroids! More quality GamePass releases plus AAA first party Xbox games!!!
Next year can seriously be one of Xbox’s best years ever.

Is Stalker 2 still on course for 2023 as well? The devs had tweeted they were full steam ahead earlier this year after moving country.
Erm, it does not need to be dropped off no? It is not like we have a single game for each genre in Game Pass

I hope so. Adding Redfall to the first months of the year would make 2023´s beginnings insane.
Also, it is a third party release not on GP but anyway, I am going to play the heck out of Dead Space Remake

Humankind will most likely just be in Gamepass for 12 months at the most.
Probably.
It’s not XGS yet, but I’ll stay optimistic and place this here.
