Thinking of picking up an Xbox One console when it launches this holiday? You’re going to need some games for it.

 

Microsoft attended to that tidbit on Tuesday at the Gamescom event in Germany by announcing the 23 games vying for your money on Xbox One launch day. The list is chock full of big franchises like Call of Duty, Battlefield, Assassin’s Creed and Forza Motorsport, though as is often the case with launch lineups, only about one-third are exclusive to the system. Most of them come from a handful of publishers — Ubisoft, EA, Activision, and Microsoft account for 20 titles.

 

Most notably missing from the list isn’t a game at all — it’s a firm launch date for the system. Microsoft previously announced that the $499 console would arrive this November, but has yet to nail down the actual day.

 

Nonetheless, here’s the full list of games:

 

  • Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag (Ubisoft)
  • Battlefield 4 (Electronic Arts)
  • Call of Duty: Ghosts (Activision)
  • Crimson Dragon (Microsoft Studios)
  • Dead Rising 3 (Microsoft)
  • FIFA 14 (Electronic Arts)
  • Fighter Within (Ubisoft)
  • Forza Motorsport 5 (Microsoft Studios)
  • Just Dance 2014 (Ubisoft)
  • Killer Instinct (Microsoft Studios)
  • LEGO Marvel Super Heroes (Warner Bros. Interactive)
  • Lococycle (Microsoft Studios)
  • Madden NFL 25 (Electronic Arts)
  • NBA 2K14 (2K Sports)
  • NBA LIVE 14 (Electronic Arts)
  • Need for Speed: Rivals (Electronic Arts)
