The new year is only a few months away, and Microsoft has already announced multiple Xbox exclusives that are set to release in 2024. Players are already anticipating some of the best releases of the decade, with huge names being rumored or announced to release next year.
Here are the five most anticipated Xbox exclusive games set to release in 2024.
Xbox Exclusives Planned to Release in 2024
Xbox has been a household name within the gaming community since the first Xbox console was released back in 2001. Since then, some of the biggest names have been released on their platform. Series such as Halo, Forza, and more are games that have stayed true to Xbox.
So what popular Xbox exclusives are planned to release in 2024?
Flight Simulator 2024
Microsoft Flight Simulator originally released in 1984, as one of Microsoft’s first games for the IBM PC. Since then, the game has grown tremendously, having some wildly realistic graphics and mechanics. Now, Microsft plans to release Flight Simulator 2024 sometime during next year, with no official release date announced yet.
State of Decay 3
The third installment in the popular State of Decay series was announced back in 2020. Since then, very little has been released on the title. State of Decay 3 was confirmed by Jeff Grubb of VentureBeat to not be one of the exclusives set to release in 2023, only meaning its release is expected to be in 2024
Get prepared to ward off some zombies. State of Decay 3 is expected to be released next year.

The game will be in Unreal Engine 5, giving it some of the smoothest and highest-quality graphics out there.
Fable
The highly anticipated RPG, Fable, was first revealed with a trailer at the Xbox Games Showcase in 2023. The game has already gained quite a bit of popularity amongst gamers. The first of the series was released back in 2001, making Fable 4 a long-awaited title.

What Xbox games are your most anticipated for 2024? Let us know in the comments below.
Out of these 5, two (Outer Worlds 2 and Fable) are almost guaranteed to not come out in 2024 and two are not sure to get out in 2024, with Ark way more likely than State of Decay 3. The only certain release is Flight Simulator. Then you missed three certain releases: STALKER 2, Hellblade 2 and Avowed. And it’s fair to think that Contraband and Indiana Jones could come out late 2024. A new Forza Horizon is also a possibility.
