Xbox
Last year Xbox had some fun with controller shaped BBQ Shapes largely for media promo purposes, but enough people wanted it that they're hitting stores.

Fly Arrakis Airways: There are a lot of games getting totally carried away with IP tie-ins. There's plenty I like, there's plenty more that are real head scratchers on why they exist. One of the best I've ever seen has to be this new update for Microsoft Flight Simulator, giving players the option to fly Royal Atreides Ornithopters across the surface of Arrakis. The precision engineering of Flight Simulator applied to a gorgeously rendered fictional world feels like a win for fans of both.
Diablo IV hits Game Pass: The big changes with Activision Blizzard joining Microsoft are well underway. Seeing Diablo IV join Xbox Game Pass on 28 March is definitely a big one. Will be interesting how this move also shifts the fortunes of the slow start for this one (I've enjoyed the campaign but miss a lot of the replayability that had arrived at Diablo III during its lifespan).
