In any case, The Game Awards looks set to be very exciting from a multi-platform perspective, so even without Xbox making a big splash, we'll still get plenty of games announced for our Xbox consoles. Then, the Xbox Developer Direct typically takes place in January, so we might only be waiting about a month to get more extensive first-party news!

A notable insider debunks a recent rumor alleging a release date announcement for an exciting day one Xbox Game Pass title at The Game Awards 2024.

Woot currently has a three-month membership to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $29, down from $50. The deal comes courtesy of a 32 percent discount and an additional $5 off at checkout with the code GAMEPASS.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate adds a day-one title that shares some design similarities with Balatro and boasts encouraging reviews.
