I’m coming in late with these but it’s still only the first week of 2024 so I hope I still count! I know Nate the Hate did a predictions thing already but I actually have not watched it. I also tend to not trust him because of him saying Persona 6 is PS exclusive when Sega has all but confirmed that it is not…
Xbox Predictions for 2024
- How many Xbox Games Studios/Bethesda/Activision Blizzard King Games will release in 2024? (Note: Mobile Games do count, as do ports from PC to Xbox, provided they are not the same year i.e. Ara, if ported to Xbox by end of 2024, is 1 game. Any ports elsewhere do not count)
7-8 Games
- Which one of these unannounced (but maybe leaked) titles will be revealed this year?
[Pick as many answer as you want - 5 Points for each correct one / Minus 2 Points for each wrong one]
Project Suerte (Certain Affinity Monster Hunter Like)
Project Shaolin (Brass Lion Wu-Tang RPG)
Gears 6
Doom “3”
Double Fine New Game
New XGSGP Title not mentioned above
- Will Xbox host a Developer Direct in Q1 of Next Year (January-March)?
I hope it’s not cheating now with rumors but yes, this month, I felt that even before, I think a Jan event is regular going forward.
- What will be the highest-rated XGS/Bethesda/ABK Game in 2024 (Metascore or OpenCritic)
Forza Horizon 6
89-92
- Who will join Xbox Game Studios/Bethesda/ABK in 2024?
No acquisitions.
- Will Avowed release in the first or second half of 2024?
Second half
- Which one of these announced titles will we see more from this year?
[Pick as many answer as you want - 5 Points for each correct one / Minus 2 Points for each wrong one]
State of Decay 3
Everwild
Indiana Jones
Contraband
Project Mara
- When will Hellblade 2 release?
May 2024
- Which Third Party Games will debut in Game Pass? (Note: Games that are already announced like STALKER 2 do not count)
If late ports count then: Master Detective Archives: Rain Code
- Phil has implied more games beyond their known 6 are set for a 2024 release. What are they?
Contraband
South of Midnight
Something else unannounced
- Will Odyssey (the Blizzard Survival game) Be Announced Next Year? If so, will it be exclusive?
Yes it will. It will not be exclusive.
- Will Forza Horizon stick with the 3 year cycle and launch FH6 next year?
Yes
- Will we get a concrete answer on the number of Game Pass subs?
No
- What third-party games will Xbox have marketing for (excluding known answers of Star Wars Outlaws, Metaphor Refantazio, Persona 3 Reload and LaD Infinite Wealth)
It is hard to name something here because it’s always from a game that was previously unannounced. I will just say that it will be something from a Japanese publisher because Xbox seems to lean more heavily on those for marketing deals as it’s a part of marketing that they of course cannot fulfill internally.
- What movies/tv shows based on Xbox games will be announced?
None
- How will be the reception to the Amazon Fallout Show?
71-80
- What Xbox controller variants will be announced?
Pass
-
Will Xbox have more first-party games (including ABK) in the first or second half of 2024?
-
Will Treyarch’s CoD review at, or higher to, 75 on OC/MC?
Yes
- Beyond As Dusk Falls, will any non-CoD/Minecraft/Remaster first-party titles hit competing console ecosystems?
Yes
- When will Activision Titles start to hit Game Pass?
Q1 (January-March)
- Will we see another Partner Preview in 2024?
Yes
- Will an Xbox first-party title be nominated for GOTY at TGAs?
Yes
- Starfield: Shattered Space is currently undated. Will we be playing this expansion by the end of next year?
Yes
- Make a bold prediction for 2024 (Has to be bold. For example, Xbox announces they are buying Sonic the Hedgehog from SEGA is a bold prediction. Xbox announces Sonic Mania will be in Game Pass isn’t.)
Hi-Fi Rush on Switch 2. Dunno about PS. Again, really, nothing to do with current rumors. This thought just came to me recently and honestly I can see it happening.
EDIT: I’m changing this one because of rumors that seem to all but confirm this. New prediction: Phil Spencer will appear at the Switch 2 showcase in some way. Maybe to showcase CoD!
