Xbox Game Pass has a big year ahead of it, especially with major Xbox exclusives like Redfall, Starfield and Forza Motorsport finally landing on Microsoft's subscription service in 2023.
However, we know about a decent selection of third-party titles launching day one as well, including Stalker 2 and Hollow Knight: Silksong, amongst others. It appears that a combination of the two are proving hugely popular on the PC platform Steam prior to launch, showcasing that Xbox has a hugely anticipated upcoming lineup.
As spotted by Xbox superfan Klobrille, five out of the current top ten wishlisted games on Steam right now are a part Xbox's Game Pass lineup in 2023 - including Starfield, to no real surprise. Here's the list at the time of writing:
- Starfield (Xbox Game Pass)
- Dark and Darker
- Party Animals (Xbox Game Pass)
- Hollow Knight: Silksong (Xbox Game Pass)
- Manor Lords
- Stalker 2 (Xbox Game Pass)
- Frostpunk 2
- The Last Of Us Part 1
- ARK 2 (Xbox Game Pass)
- Hades 2
We are somewhat surprised to see how high Party Animals is charting here, but clearly, that and plenty of other highly anticipated PC titles are going to contribute to a big year for Xbox Game Pass.
