The PS5-Xbox Series generation finally seems to be getting off to a good start in 2023 as Unreal Engine 5 support grows after two years of false starts. The last-generation consoles from Sony and Microsoft are losing more developer support. Starfield, Spider-Man 2, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Final Fantasy 16 are the only games designed specifically for new hardware, but owners of PS4, Xbox One, and particularly Switch have a lot to look forward to as well.

The game lineup for next year is undoubtedly the most exciting since the console guard changed in 2020, with dozens of games pushed back to 2023, a focus on new-gen hardware, and at least one major exclusive from each platform owner. We’ve taken that anticipation as we begin a brand-new year and create a list of the biggest video games of 2023, organized chronologically by release date. Only games with officially announced 2023 release dates or windows were considered for this list. 

Games like Disney Dreamlight Valley and Baldur’s Gate 3 are also excluded, both of which are slated to exit Early Access in 2023. The Northern Hemisphere determines release windows for specific seasons (spring and fall).

Biggest Games of 2023

1. Fire Emblem Engage

A busy year began with Nintendo’s release of Fire Emblem Engage on January 20. The Switch-only game debuted the series’ new protagonist, Alear, who has red and blue hair. The most recent mainline Fire Emblem allows players to “engage” or summon past Fire Emblem heroes, such as Marth, the series’ first protagonist and a Smash Bros. mainstay. Alear can access their tools and skills when a previous hero is engaged.

Engage follows 2019’s excellent Fire Emblem: Three Houses, which earned a 9.5 from IGN.

Release Date: January 20 | Platform: Switch

2. Forspoken

After two delays in 2022, Forspoken was finally released on PS5 and PC on January 24. Its all-star writing team, which includes Gary Whitta from Rogue One, Amy Hennig and Todd Stashwick from Uncharted, and Allison Rymer from Shadowhunters, is one of the main reasons to keep an eye on the new action RPG from Square Enix. The main character Frey in Forspoken’s isekai narrative concept, is transported from modern-day New York City into the fantastical world of Athia, which is rich in magic and intricate mythology. As she makes her way home, Frey will learn extraterrestrial abilities to aid her in combat and navigation.

Release Date: January 24 | Platforms: PS5, PC

3. Dead Space

The 2008 classic survival horror game, Dead Space, has been completely remade. It has been entirely reconstructed using the original designs and EA’s Frostbite engine, with “all new assets, new character models, and new environments.” Dead Space hasn’t changed fundamentally, but EA Motive’s creators have added features like Peeling, which allows players to shoot extra flesh, tendons, and bones off Necromorphs to keep things interesting. It is a unique health bar for the mutant bad guys in Dead Space and a visual treat for gorehounds.

Release Date: January 27 | Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC

 

4. Hogwarts Legacy

One of the most anticipated games of 2021 is now one of the biggest third-party releases of 2023. (and then 2022). After two years of delays, Hogwarts Legacy was finally set to premiere on February 10, allowing longtime Harry Potter fans to live out their own Wizarding World fantasies. Players create a distinctive character and choose their preferred house before the game begins.

Then, as fifth-year Hogwarts students, they begin the game. In the open-world RPG, you fall behind your friends and must complete quests to catch up. Despite the abundance of places to visit, secrets to discover, and activities to partake in, the game’s developer, Avalanche Software, could not include playable versions of some Hogwarts activities, such as Quidditch, Gobstones, and Wizard’s Chess.

Release Date: February 10 (PS5, XSX|S, PC), April 4 (PS4, X1), July 25 (Switch) | Platforms: PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch, PC

5. Wild Hearts

Players hunt and craft throughout a fantastical semi-open world inspired by feudal Japan in EA’s response to Monster Hunter called Wild Hearts. On Wild Hearts, Omega Force and EA worked together. Omega Force is a Japanese development studio best known for the action game Dynasty Warriors. Because of its difficult hunting, gorgeous environments, and quick-thinking building mechanics, Wild Hearts was the subject of an IGN hands-on in October. As a result, we think it’s a serious Monster Hunter contender.
Release Date: February 17 | Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC

6. Atomic Heart

Since Atomic Heart was revealed four years ago, there has been a steady stream of unbelievable, sci-fi-heavy trailers showcasing a first-person shooter with a Soviet setting comparable to BioShock. As a result, interest in the game has increased significantly. Atomic Heart might be one of 2023’s biggest sleeper hits. In our first hands-on preview, we referred to Atomic Heart as “an engrossing world to get lost in, with dynamic combat, and inspired art and enemy design,” so it is uncertain whether that potential is realized.
Veteran Doom composer Mick Gordon created original music specifically for Atomic Heart, which will be mixed with pieces from the 1950s to 1980s. The result is described as “juicy Doom-style remixes meet Soviet-style pop” by the creator Mundfish.
Release Date: February 21 | Platforms: PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC
 

7. Horizon Call of the Mountain

A standalone PSVR 2 spinoff called Horizon Call of the Mountain is based on the same period as Horizon Zero Dawn. Its two main gameplay focuses are Traversal, supported by a satisfying climbing mechanic, and bow-and-arrow combat. While bow-shooting requires you to pantomime the actual action—reaching back for an arrow, nocking it, aiming, then pulling back and releasing—climbing requires you to reach physically from ledge to ledge.

Call of the Mountain was launched alongside PSVR2 on February 22.

Release Date: February 22 | Platform: PSVR 2

8. Company of Heroes 3

The Company of Heroes comes back in 2023 with two distinct World War II campaigns—one in North Africa and the other in Italy—and its first mainline instalment in ten years. With Company of Heroes 3, Relic aims to keep the beloved aspects of the acclaimed RTS while introducing fresh gameplay features like Tactical Pause and a fully dynamic campaign map.
According to our most recent Company of Heroes 3 preview, it plays out like good ol’ CoH tactical action, with a larger roster of units than ever before and various unconventional objectives to break up the more conventional maps. It will be accessible on PC in addition to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S and will feature “intuitive controller support and custom console UI.”
Release Date: February 23 | Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC

9. Sons of the Forest

The predecessor to Sons of the Forest is one of the best PC survival horror games. Like its predecessor, Sons of the Forest leaves you on a dreadful island with nothing but your wits to keep you alive. Players must scavenge materials to construct weapons and shelters to survive the island’s cannibal population.
Release Date: February 23 | Platform: PC

10. Kerbal Space Program 2 (Early Access)

Kerbal Space 2 enters Early Access on February 24. After the space flight simulation, you can personalize and paint your ships using brand-new environments, enhanced visuals, a revamped user interface, and over 350 new rocket parts. The Early Access version of KSP 2 features brand-new terrain and atmosphere systems and a completely recreated Kerbolar system from the first game. After the game’s initial release, its creator Intercept Games, plans to build upon it by introducing new systems to explore, distinctive bases, and support for multiplayer and mods.

Release Date: February 24 | Platform: PC (PlayStation and Xbox versions to follow at a later date)

11. Octopath Traveler 2

The sequel is Octopath Traveler 2, a fantastic HD-2D JRPG from Square Enix. The eight protagonists in the follow-up each have a distinct but connected backstory. The most recent Octopath Traveler 2 trailer introduced two characters, the scholar Osvald and the businessman Partitio, and the new Latent Powers system, which releases special abilities when a character takes enough damage or disintegrates enough enemy shields. In addition to Nintendo’s hybrid console, the Switch, where the first game was exclusive to that system, Octopath Traveler 2 will also be released on the PS5, PS4, and PC.
Release Date: February 24 | Platforms: PS5, PS4, Switch, PC
 

12. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty

Wo Long: Team Ninja, the company behind the action games Nioh and Ninja Gaiden, is back with Fallen Dynasty. According to the description, Wo Long is a soul-like tale set in a grim fantasy retelling of China’s Three Kingdoms period. Wo Long, in typical souls-like fashion, will be “an extremely challenging and demanding game,” according to Team Ninja. Our Wo Long preview called the combat’s breakneck pace “fantastic,” distinguishing Wo Long from many other soul-like games.

Release Date: March 3 | Platforms: PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC
