Now that we've reached September, we're approaching a busy few months in the world of Xbox. While the initial Xbox Series X|S launch wasn't perhaps as explosive as we may have hoped in terms of new titles, these next few months are certainly making up for it, with heavy-hitting first-party titles on the way such as Forza Horizon 5 and Halo Infinite.
Not only that, but Xbox Game Pass is also seeing some third-party love with games such as Back 4 Blood joining the service on day one. This isn't even including the AAA games that aren't coming into Game Pass. We have the likes of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, Far Cry 6 and Dying Light 2 also on their way, depending on any last-minute delays.
Even the indie scene is seeing a boom with some titles that may make the mainstream. Lost in Random, Sable, The Gunk and more are all expected to arrive over the coming weeks and months, potentially making a name for themselves if they manage to live up to the hype.
On top of all of this, we also have an array of re-releases that may tickle your fancy. Both Grand Theft Auto V and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim are expected to arrive on next-gen systems this November, providing a new reason to dive into some of our old favourites. After a quiet first half of the year, the momentum is really picking up.
With all this being said, what's your most anticipated game for the rest of the year? Is it a huge AAA title? Or perhaps one of the smaller indie games full of charm?

Definitely looking forward to Halo the most.. Also looking forward to Crysis Remastered Trilogy seeing how i never played a Crysis game before i'm excited to jump in to the series for the first time.. I'm also looking forward to The Gunk, That game looks super fun..
Even though I'm getting it on playstation I voted for Tales of Arise, looks so good in 4k and the battle system is much more accessible than previous games.
For an actual game il be playing on xbox I'm looking forward to playing my first forza with forza horizon 5, the graphics are beautiful and the fact its not a pure racer sold it for me
Tales of Arise is my number one game i'm looking forward too. Then everything else after it!
Forza horizon 5 for me. That series hasn’t missed yet and it doesn’t look like it will with this one. Halo I think I’ll be waiting until the split screen update (if I’m going to play another 343 campaign, it won’t be alone).
Unless I’m forgetting about something theres not much else on Xbox I’m looking forward to this year. Metroid dread, eastward, and monster crown are the other platform games I’ll probably be getting.
Forza most definitely, everything else is just filler!
This is simple.
1st) Forza horizon 5
2nd) Farcy 6
3rd) Halo Infinite, is third as the campaign is still shroud in mystery and a no show.
Monkey Ball and Halo Infinite for sure. I wanna roll and I wanna shoot.
Lost in Random
3 games max was way too little. Im looking forward to Back 4 Blood, FH5, Halo Infinite, Lost Judgment, Tales of Arise, Aragami 2 and The Gunk.
Back 4 Blood, Aragami 2, Halo
Tales, diablo, Halo
Definitely Lost Judgment, Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania, and Forza Horizon 5.
Halo is the only one and I’m both excited and terrified. Lol
Halo, Forza Horizon and The Gunk.
It was tough to pick the one I’m MOST excited for, but going with my instinct I picked Halo. After the Diablo II beta that is up there and of course Forza.
Listen y’all need to get on the Super Monkey Ball train.
Halo Infinite, Riders Republic, Life is Strange: True Colors
Forza 5 as well but could only Pick 3 on the list.
Jurassic World Evolution 2. They took what made the first great, and put their Planet Coaster spin of customization on it. Gonna be amazing.
Deathloop… but it’s coming out on PlayStation. Have absolutely loved every Arkane game so far. Some of my favourite games.
Then Halo Infinite (please have a good campaign)
And lastly Dying light 2 - the first one was really good and this has been in development for a while
Bonus: the ever reliable Forza Horizon 5 / however having played all Forza Horizon 1-4 in the last year+ I’m a bit Forza’d out!
Also intrigued by the Gunk. Every game by Image and Form (steamworld) has been brilliant
I choose halo for most anticipated as nothing for campaign has really been shown.
But battlefield will probably be my most played
Tales of arise and judgement for me. Fh and halo are cool and all, and I'm so hyped for the ability to buy my seventh version of Skyrim and stuff, but Tales and anything Yakuza are where it's at!
Dying light for me. I loved the og dying light and dead island before that. Can’t wait for dying light 2!
Far Cry 6, Diablo 2, and CoD Vanguard.
Halo (MP alone has me hyped enough), Super Monkey Ball and The Gunk for me.
Halo this year, Elden ring next year
Forza, Sonic and Super Monkey Ball. Will only be buying the latter on Switch though.
Only based on the list above:
1. Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (probably PS5 for me).
2. Halo Infinite (mostly interested in the campaign).
3. The Gunk. I don't know about this one but it looks promising.
Got to be Forza Horizon 5, and I see that is a comfortable second behind Halo. I am a bit meh about Halo, but I will give it a go. Also I am looking forward to Age of Empires 4, give my pc a bit of exercise.
FH5, Infinite and the Gunk.
Forza horizon 5 & Halo Infinite
Super Monkey Ball on NS
Back 4 Blood and The Gunk
Want to see more of Thr Gunk.
Selected bf, dying light and fh5. But also lopking forward to Sable & Artful Escape as far as indies goes.
Halo Infinite
The Gunk
Hmmm… third is tricky. I might say Far Cry 6 but refuse to buy it until a sale, because they do sales absurdly early. I’m sure the golf Ed will be 60-70 within 4-6 months, making the DLC essentially free. So, I can wait for that. So obviously I must not be that hyped for it.
I guess I’m highly intrigued by Guardians of the Galaxy, Tales of Arise and Lost Judgement (have not played Judgement 1 yet though.)
Overall, there is quite a bit coming out to keep my backlog expanding, but so far only 2 titles that will, day one, jump to the front of the backlog. 3 if someone gifts me Far Cry 6 Gold 😅
WHERE is Maiden of Black Water? I mean, it represents the resurrection of one of the best horror franchises ever.
https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2021/08/23/fatal-frame-maiden-of-black-water-interview/
For me it was Diablo 2, Hot Wheels, and GTA V. I didn't pick up GTA V during the X1 gen, so I look forward to trying it on the Series X after it goes on sale for the first time. I imagine the wait won't be too long.
@NEStalgia Definitely looking forward to Tales as well, but disappointed they decided to drop the co-op in this one.
Forza 5、Lost Judgment and GTA V remake
