With the new year just approaching, it is time for game enthusiasts to consider what new releases you will add to your collection. 2024 will be a massive year for gaming, with many fantastic video games set to come out. If you are looking forward to the release of a particular game, then it is a good idea to know what you can play it on and plan to have the right console in time for the new game releases. To avoid disappointment, we will go through some of the top console-exclusive games coming in 2024 so you can start saving up if you don’t already have a console.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

First up on this list is Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, a continuation of the hugely popular Final Fantasy 7 Remake released in 2020. The newest release in the Final Fantasy franchise carries on the story from the remake three years ago with an open world to embark on adventures. Some new faces join Barrett, Tifa, and Cloud in this game, and Sephiroth will play a much more significant role in the story as you explore the realm. If you have been a fan of the Final Fantasy games and want to experience more of what this franchise has to offer, get your hands on a PS5.
 

Marvel’s Wolverine

Up next on this list is Marvel’s Wolverine, which the team has developed over at Insomniac, who is also responsible for creating the hugely successful Spider-Man games that came out on PS4 and PS5. With this fact alone, there are high expectations for this game; however, there have not been a lot of advertisements yet. The only peak into what this game may look like came in a short cinematic trailer depicting Logan sitting in a bar after what looks like a pretty intense brawl. This game is set to be released on PS5 only, so if you don’t already have the console and want to play this game, then you may need to rethink your Christmas list.
 

State of Decay 3

The announcement for State of Decay 3 came back in 2020 during Microsoft’s E3 presentation; however, there has not been a lot of talk about the game ever since. So far, we know that The Coalition is responsible for helping to make the game and it will run on Unreal Engine 5. Undead Labs are the game's developers and are yet to reveal what the game will look like, but fans of the Survival Horror games are waiting eagerly for its release. The game is expected to be available on Xbox consoles and published by Xbox Game Studios, so if you want to make sure you can play this game, you need either an Xbox Series X or an Xbox Series S.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

The final game on this list is Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, one of the most anticipated releases of 2024. The Microsoft Flight Simulator games are one of Microsoft’s earliest products in their application portfolio, first released back in the 1970s. Today, the latest Microsoft Flight Simulator games have become extremely popular, offering people a hyper-realistic experience of flying planes worldwide. Thanks to advanced simulation, cloud technologies, and modern hardware, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is expected to take the franchise to a new level.

Asobo Studios has been developing this game for four years, and the hype around it has started reaching new highs with the new year just approaching. This game will have an online multiplayer mode, allowing players to complete flights together and contact others piloting flights around the world. The game is impressively realistic, with real flight paths you can take and a vast range of settings to play around with as you safely take passengers to their chosen destinations. If you want to ensure that you can play Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, you will need to ensure that you have either an Xbox Series S or an Xbox Series X, as these are the consoles the game will be available on.
