Xbox Developer Direct

Microsoft has revealed its next Developer_Direct livestream will take place on 23rd January 2025, and there'll be reason for PS5 owners to watch as DOOM: The Dark Ages and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 are confirmed to be part of the new digital showcase.

Both titles were announced for PS5 upon their original reveals during Microsoft's summer broadcast, with the newest DOOM title out of ID Software not wasting any time in coming to PS5 on the same day as its Xbox Series X|S and PC launch. Meanwhile, Expedition 33 has a Game Pass deal in place but remains multiplatform.

In addition to the two games heading to PS5, Microsoft will also shine the spotlight on South of Midnight and announce a brand new game from a "surprise location". The former is only confirmed for Xbox Series X|S and PC at this point, but we'll have to wait until the event to see whether the latter is also a Microsoft exclusive.

DOOM: The Dark Ages and Expedition 33 are both slated to release later this year, so fresh details like new trailers and potential release dates are on the table. The livestream will take place on Thursday, 23rd January 2025 at 6pm GMT / 10am PT / 1pm ET. What do you want to see from these two games? Let us know in the comments below.
