Everything indicates that Xbox is preparing a nice surprise for its community to properly ring in the new year 2025, which is getting closer and closer.
At least that's what the generally well-informed Tom Warren of The Verge argues. If we refer to the Xbox calendar from previous years, something like that makes sense. However, Microsoft's gaming industry may do things differently in 2025. Let's take a closer look.
What would Xbox be preparing at the start of 2025?
In a simple and direct way, Tom Warren stated on his Bluesky account (direct competitor of X.com/ex-Twitter) that he “ Expects Xbox event in January “. Overall, we assume that the three big fish of the industry, PlayStation, Nintendo and therefore Xbox, will each prepare something to celebrate the New Year with their fans. PlayStation is already waiting around the corner to see how What the exclusive calendar will look like for the coming year On the Nintendo side, we are closely watching the long-awaited presentation of the Switch 2.
In relation to Microsoft's gaming industry, this could logically take the form of a Developer_Direct. As a reminder, this is an event created in 2023 that will allow you to discover in more detail the games from Xbox Games Studios released in the current year, accompanied by their developers. These usually take place in January.
An edition in 2025 would therefore make perfect sense. Especially since the Redmond company is launching very large cartridges next year: Avowed, DOOM The Dark Ages, Fable 4, Gears of War E-Day, South of Midnight or even The Outer Worlds 2. Whatever form this potential Xbox event takes next January, the brand will definitely have great things to show us. However, to be sure, we'll have to wait for an official announcement from Microsoft.
