Here's all the Xbox games launching this week, from February 17 through 23

With a new week comes new store releases, so I've rounded up all the games launching on Xbox from Feb. 17, 2025 through February 23. By far one of the biggest arrivals is the standard edition of Obsidian Entertainment's first-person fantasy role-playing game Avowed, which (as a first-party game) is launching into Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

There's also a new seafaring adventure on the way with Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. As the name sort of implies, this entry in the long-running Like a Dragon franchise is setting Goro Majima loose on the Pacific.

Here's everything launching on the Xbox store next week:
