Xbox usually has a strong presence at awards shows
As the Game Awards show has steadily grown in popularity over the years, Xbox Game Pass' presence during the ceremony has gradually grown. In 2021, the Game Awards ceremony took place Somerville, Trek to Yomi, Plague Tale: Requiemand Sniper Elite 5 all will be announced along with confirmation that they will be coming to Xbox Game Pass. The Game Awards in 2022 saw the same for titles like Atomic Heart, Exchanged, Party animalsand Spirittea. And last year's Game Awards confirmed it Harmonium coming to Game Pass.
The Game Awards has also often been used as a stage for Xbox to reveal and re-reveal its first-party titles, the vast majority of which come to Xbox Game Pass on day one. Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 was introduced during several gaming awards ceremonies before the launch of Xbox Game Pass earlier this year. Two of the biggest surprises of the Game Awards 2023 show were Hideo Kojima FROM and Arkane's Marvel's Bladewhich are both Xbox projects and both will probably come to Game Pass when they eventually come out.
What Xbox could announce at The Game Awards 2024
The likelihood of Xbox having a strong presence at this year's Game Awards ceremony is quite high, and so are the chances of more Game Pass announcements. Between its first-party studios, Activision-Blizzard, Bethesda, and all of its third-party partners, Xbox has a lot of irons in the fire right now, some of which could come up during the 2024 awards on December 12th.
Obsidians Open is already confirmed for a February 18, 2025 release date, so the odds of it getting a trailer during The Game Awards are pretty high. Same goes for Rebellion's Atomfallwhich is scheduled for release in March. Then there are games such as Fable, Doom: The Dark Ages, FBC: Firebreak, South of midnight, The Altersand Towerborneall of which are slated for 2025, but have no specific release dates. Any of these upcoming Game Pass titles could make an appearance during the Game Awards.
It was also rumored that the flagship Xbox franchise, Halohe could be on the verge of announcing something. Recent leaks suggest a Halo: Combat Evolved a remake using Unreal Engine 5 could be in development, and while all leaks should be taken with a grain of salt, it would be great to see how it plays out at this year's gaming awards.
