Here’s Every Single Xbox Series X Game Available At Launch

Following
This article is more than 3 years old.

A whole bunch of games are coming out for Microsoft’s next-gen consoles on launch day and across the next few weeks.

None of these are actual “exclusives” since almost all of them will be playable on Xbox One and/or PC as well. Indeed, many of the games in the following list are upgrades or ports that have already been released on Xbox One and PC, such as Fortnite, Gears 5 and Forza Horizon 4.

Still, the good news is you won’t have any sort of shortage on Xbox Series X|S when it comes out tomorrow. On top of all the launch games, if you’re an Xbox Game Pass subscriber, many of those titles will be backward compatible on Xbox Series X as well.

So while there aren’t really any Xbox Series X exclusives to get super excited about—one of several reasons I’ve written that you shouldn’t be in too much of a hurry to buy a next-gen console—there are plenty of titles that will look and play better on the new system. Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, for instance, looks and plays great on Xbox One, but it will be even prettier and smoother on the Series X.

Let me know if I’m missing anything from this list and I’ll add it. As you can see, it’s a pretty decent sized batch of both old and new titles. But the real heavy-hitters, like Halo: Infinite, are still a ways off. The lack of true Xbox Series X exclusives is also an issue, and one reason I’ve written that a PS5 makes more sense as your next-gen console purchase.
