Xbox Developer Direct 2025: January 23rd Showcase Announced

Microsoft has unveiled the date for its next Xbox Developer Direct: January 23rd, marking the first Xbox games showcase of 2025 and the third installment of this annual event. Following the successful 2023 and 2024 iterations, this announcement, previously rumored for January 9th, confirms the continued commitment to this format.

The showcase, airing at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm GMT, will be streamed on YouTube and Twitch.

Confirmed Games:

Microsoft has already confirmed three titles for the Xbox Developer Direct 2025:

  • South of Midnight: A stylish action-adventure game from Compulsion Games (Contrast, We Happy Few). Originally announced in June 2023, a release date is anticipated.
  • Clair Obscur: Expedition 33: A turn-based RPG from Sandfall Interactive, targeting a 2025 release and confirmed as a day-one Xbox Game Pass title.
  • Doom: The Dark Ages: From id Software, initially announced in June 2024. A demo was playable at QuakeCon 2024, with a rumored mid-2025 launch.

Beyond the Confirmed Titles:

Previous Developer Directs have exceeded 40 minutes and featured multiple games. Given this precedent, the 2025 event is likely to include additional unannounced titles, offering further surprises for fans. The 2024 showcase, for example, featured Avowed, Ara: History Untold, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, and Visions of Mana.
