Every confirmed game for Xbox Series X and PS5

Excitement for the next generation of consoles is building as the release of the PS5 and Xbox Series X gradually approaches.

While the Xbox Series X and PS5 don’t have official release dates, they are slated for launch in the Holiday 2020 period, so can be expected some time in November-December of this year. By the time they launch, it will have been roughly seven years since the release of their predecessors.

While new consoles are exciting, however, they’re only as good as the games that can be played on them. While we still don’t know all of the titles that will be available at launch for each, or released shortly after, developers have started to confirm both new releases for the next generation, and titles that will span both the new and current-gen.

Here are the games that have been officially confirmed for the next generation of consoles from Sony and Microsoft.
