New Xbox Game Pass Ad Reminds Us Of What's Coming In 2023 And Beyond

There are some amazing titles inbound

by Ben Kerry Mon 1st May 2023

On the eve of Redfall's big first party release, Microsoft has dropped a brand new advert showcasing everything new on Xbox Game Pass.

The short clip, posted up above, mostly highlights recent and upcoming releases for the service, including the aforementioned Redfall, Minecraft Legends and Hi-Fi RUSH alongside inbound 2023 titles like Forza Motorsport, Lies of P and of course, Bethesda's Starfield.

The ad doesn't reveal anything we didn't already know about, but it does remind us of Xbox's fantastic-looking lineup for 2023 and beyond. We noticed Ninja Theory's Hellblade 2 hidden in there as well, which we'd like to think is a subtle hint that the title isn't too far away.

Mostly though, the trailer serves as a refreshed look at the library before we enter the summer season, with the Xbox Games Showcase arriving in just over a month. Will there be any brand new reveals to add to this upcoming Game Pass slate come June 11? We certainly hope so.

Of every upcoming Game Pass title shown in this ad, which are you looking forward to most? Vote in the poll down below and let us know!

Looks good.

Now just got to hope they plaster it over TV and the internet - they do appear to have stepped up the marketing budget again as I'm seeing Redfall on my Samsung TV's menu bar (normally see TV stuff, GTA5 updates or Sony marketing).

Sony have been outspending them 3 to 1 on marketing recently (2020 figures around the release of the PS5 and XSX|S) and so their mindshare in the UK at least seems enormous - PlayStation is practically used for games console in the same way Hoover is used for vacuums.

Fingers crossed between this, the games coming this year and next, and the ABK deal outcome (whether it gets across the line or it doesn't and they go nuclear on Sony) that Xbox is finally back on track...

Hopefully Redfall delivers. Looking forward to Starfield and Lana for sure out of the bunch. Maybe Replaced, maybe Lies of P. Didn’t like Hellblade 1 so much, but looking forward to seeing the tech in the sequel. And yeah, I’ll play a round or two more of Exoprimal.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is my most anticipated gamepass game of this year (If it actually launches this year). I am also pretty keen on Starfield, Replaced and Forza when they drop this autumn/winter. I shall check out Redfall tomorrow.

The MS marketing can be quite fun when it is funny and meme based, but ads like this are a bit more on the cheesy cringe side. Too many MS ads with voice narration and vocalised backing tracks that add noise.

I've been all about Lies of P since it was announced. Therefore, I'm sure it will be a hot mess.

I chose Forza Motorsport with my reason mainly being, of all the titles it should be the one using Velocity Architecture with a peek at the future of this generation's technology. Hellblade 2 would be my next choice with all the updates we have been getting about the game, it looks very impressive using Unreal Engine 5.
