Last year's Xbox Developer Direct event laid down a big marker for 2023 on the platform. The show focused on what Microsoft was hoping to put out that year, and by and large, the team stuck to its plan. However, as we near 2024's event later this week, the next 12 months still seem very up in the air for Xbox - and we can't help but speculate further about what's to come!
Last year we kind of knew everything that was likely to drop ahead of time, but this year is still largely a mystery. Xbox is expected to be aiming for 2024 for each and every game showcased at Dev Direct this week, but there's still so much else that could feasibly happen over the next 12 months or-so.
As most Pure Xbox readers won't have forgotten, Activision Blizzard x Xbox is still an ongoing process - a process that's hopefully going to deliver some tangible results in the near future. We're still waiting on that big Xbox Game Pass drop, not to mention news on the next Call of Duty and whatever else the teams are cooking up over there. None of this will be at Developer Direct, as confirmed by Microsoft, but ActiBlizz will still likely have a massive impact on Xbox's 2024.
