Xbox fans, we know you’ve been waiting and we’re so excited to finally be able to say it – PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is coming to Xbox One as a console launch exclusive through the Xbox Game Preview program on December 12, 2017! We shared this news at Paris Games Week today, where Brendan Greene – aka PlayerUnknown – and I opened the Xbox booth with Aaron Greenberg, General Manager of Xbox Games Marketing. Beginning December 12, Xbox fans will be able to play PUBG while it’s still in early access through the Xbox Game Preview program. We’re approaching development on Xbox One with the same community-driven focus that we’ve taken with the game on PC. As a result, the ultimate battle royale experience that fans play on Xbox One will be slightly different than what players know today on PC. In addition to announcing Xbox’s XGP launch date on December 12, we also shared the exciting news that we’re on track to launch 1.0 for the PC version in late December. This has been an amazing year for us and launching both 1.0 on PC and on Xbox through Xbox Game Preview are huge milestones for the team. I’m incredibly proud of how far we’ve come in such a short time, but I’m even more excited to say that we’re just getting started. Both versions are being developed at the same time, but they both have their own separate roadmaps. Various Xbox One features and functionality will change and come online over time just like they have on PC, with our goal being to have both versions align to each other as soon as possible. Feedback as you know has been critical to the game’s success, so beginning December 12 we want to hear from Xbox fans on what they think about PUBG and how we can make the best version of the game possible. In celebration of PUBG’s upcoming launch on Xbox One, we’ve collaborated closely with the team at Xbox to create three special, limited-edition cosmetic packs – the PUBG Warrior Pack, the PUBG Accessory Pack and the PUBG Tracksuit Pack. These packs are exclusive to Xbox fans as standalone offers available for a limited time and as there are no plans to feature any in-game purchases in the Xbox Game Preview version, are the only items that can be purchased during the preview period. We’re super excited to be able to bring these to Xbox One fans who have been eagerly awaiting the game as a special thank you for your patience and passion for PUBG . We’ll be sharing more details on timing and pricing in the weeks ahead. If you are attending Paris Games Week, be sure to come by the Xbox booth and check out “The Wall.” We’ve set up a massive 50-person gameplay experience where players can come battle it out in a series of live matches that will be nothing short of epic. Having everybody in a match together all in one room is really special and is going to be a lot of fun. Thank you to the entire PUBG community for providing feedback and making our game such a success already. We’re working hard with our partners at Microsoft to bring PUBG as a console launch exclusive on Xbox One through the Xbox Game Preview program, and we can’t wait to meet you on the island on December 12! Buy the World’s Most Powerful Console; Get the Hottest Multiplayer Game of 2017. Earlier this week, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) released as a console launch exclusive on Xbox One in the Xbox Game Preview program, bringing the hottest multiplayer game of the year to console for the first time. Xbox fan excitement for the launch has been incredible, with more than 1 million players on Xbox One in its first 48 hours alone. Released as part of the Xbox Game Preview program – in which players can preview and purchase work-in-progress digital titles, participate in the development process and help developers make Xbox One games the best they can be – in the weeks and months ahead PUBG on Xbox One will continue to receive enhancements, new content updates including the new desert map, “Miramar,” optimizations and more. Today, in celebration of PUBG coming to the hottest console of the season, we’re excited to announce a special holiday promotion where every Xbox One X purchase will come with a copy of PUBG! That means you can join in on gaming’s biggest phenomenon and jump right into the ultimate battle royale experience on Xbox One. The promotion is available in select regions for a limited time, starting Dec. 17 through Dec. 31. For more information, please check with your local retailer, including your local Microsoft Store, whether you’re shopping in a physical store, online or through your Xbox device. Xbox One X Review. Microsoft’s positioned the $500 Xbox One X as the most powerful console ever made. That’s a claim that's easily backed up by stunning visual and performance upgrades for both its first-party games and select enhanced multi-platform games. That gives the One X a noticeable advantage over its closest competitor, the $400 PS4 Pro. The catch of this slender, cool, and dead-quiet console is that its value is dependent on developers updating their games to make the most of it. Like the One S, the One X can be laid horizontally or vertically and has an internal power supply, so there’s no bulky power brick to deal with. Its black matte plastic casing is sleek, but not quite as attractive as the semi-perforated shell and striking white finish Microsoft presented with the One S. And if you’re already enjoying those quality of life changes having owned an One S, you’ll be happy to know the transition from the One S to the One X is literally as simple as pulling your cables from the former and plugging them into their near-identically corresponding inputs on the latter. Like with the One S, there’s no port for the Kinect (RIP) on the One X, so if you want to use one for old time’s sake you’ll need Microsoft’s $40 USB adapter and occupy one of the One X’s three USB 3.0 ports. What’s under the hood is much more admirable: a 2.3 GHz processor, 6-teraflop GPU, and 12GB high-speed GDDR5 memory all give it a significant advantage over the PS4 Pro. (Microsoft claims it’s 40% more powerful). And at just 11.8 inches long, 9.4 inches wide, and 2.4 inches high, the One X packs it all into an efficiently compact space that’s around 15% smaller than the PS4 Pro, and yet about 15% heavier at 8.4 pounds. It’s also as remarkably quiet as the One S, even when it’s working hard, and never got warm enough that overheating in a confined space would be a concern. In fact, the Xbox One X runs only a few degrees warmer than the One S during 4K-enhanced gameplay: both the One S and One X averaged within 106 and 112 degrees fahrenheit, while the PS4 Pro stabilized around 124 degrees during our testing. But how much better do all those impressive-sounding numbers make your games? It’s a complicated question, and unfortunately there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. While any Xbox One game you load up will take advantage of the One X’s power to run better than it does on the One S, and Microsoft has a list of over 100 existing and upcoming games that are or will be enhanced, the level of that enhancement depends on how much support each respective developer has put in. So, mileage will vary. The good news is that Microsoft’s most popular first-party games have received the royal treatment. Gears of War 4 is a prime example. It supports native 4K resolution and high-definition textures to match, HDR10 for improved color depth and contrast on supported televisions, plus “enhanced graphical features” which are most evident in lighting and particles. Maybe most importantly of all, the frame rate in the Campaign and Horde modes is boosted so you can get up to (but not locked) 60 frames per second if you select the performance option in the menu. When all of that is working together, Gears of War 4 on the One X is dramatically smoother, and a sharper, deeper visual experience than it is on the One S. And even without HDR or if you’re hooked up to a 1080p display, it’s an obvious upgrade thanks to those improved effects and supersampling, which shrinks a 4K image down to 1080 in order to smooth out visible jagged edges. Forza Motorsport 7 is a stunning showcase of the One X in native 4K at a steady 60 frames per second with HDR. It’s a beautiful experience. Likewise, Killer Instinct looks and runs great at 4K and 60 frames per second, though its stylized art doesn’t benefit as much from the higher-resolution treatment as Gears of War 4 does. In this same vein, older Xbox One games and even an assortment of backward-compatible 360 games show improvement relative to older consoles (though obviously the One X can’t work miracles like improving an old game’s texture resolution on its own). It’s great to see your old favorites in a new light - games like Halo 3, Fallout 3, and Oblivion all run nicely - but naturally they won’t blow your hair back with the same gusty force of Gears of War 4. Outside of Microsoft's own games, results can be inconsistent. Testing enhanced versions of Assassin’s Creed Origins and Middle-earth: Shadow of War in both their high-resolution and performance modes reveal noticeable improvements even over the PS4 Pro, with cleaner textures, improved shadows, a modest reduction in load times and better performance, depending on the setting. However, games like World of Tanks, Disneyland Adventures, and Super Lucky’s Tale mostly get things like minor visual enhancements and frame rate improvements over the One S. What’s worrisome is that we know from the example of the past year’s worth of PS4 Pro support that the quality of any improvements to “enhanced” games is left completely up to the developers. Will a game run in 4K? Will it have HD textures? Will it have any other improvements to take advantage of the One X’s graphical superpowers? It’s hard to know, unless the changes are specifically spelled out in the store (as is the case with Square Enix and Rise of the Tomb Raider). It’s clear after testing that the One X is the best console for cross-platform games, but the inconsistency of third-party enhancement makes it almost as much of a guessing game as the PS4 Pro. Yet when a game does take full advantage of everything the One X can do, there’s a downside: 4K textures are huge. The enhanced versions of both Gears of War 4 and Forza Motorsport 7 weigh in at around a chubby 103 and 95 gigabytes each, respectively, which is roughly double their install size on the One S. And the enhanced Quantum Break nearly breaks the scales at 178 gigabytes thanks to huge amounts of 4K video. The One X has a one-terabyte internal hard drive (with no larger option), but at this rate that’s going to be consumed just as quickly as the original Xbox One’s 500GB. Storage space can be easily expanded with any USB hard drive, but if you don’t already own one that’s an extra expense you have to account for on top of this already premium-priced console. These monster-sized files can also have an impact on install and load times because so much data needs to be transferred to and from the 5400rpm hard drive. For example, loading the first campaign level of the native 4K-enhanced version of Gears of War 4 took the One X roughly 20 seconds, compared to 10 seconds for the standard version on a One S. However, Assassin’s Creed Origins and Shadow of War both regularly loaded faster on the One X than on the PS4 Pro, while loading times on other unenhanced games appeared inconsistent. Like the One S before it, the One X is now the most appealing console for home theater enthusiasts thanks to its ultra-HD Blu-ray drive and Dolby Atmos audio support. That ability to play 4K movies off of physical media is something the competing PS4 Pro strangely doesn’t offer. Beyond that, the One X includes a number of cool upgrades like 4K support for DVR game clips (which are downsized to 1080p if you’re uploading directly, but can be exported to a hard drive at 4K if you want to edit and upload from a PC.) Its design also allows easy transfer of data between your Xbox consoles through an external hard drive or your home network. And, with such a focus on visuals, the handy TV calibration and compatibility features help you to ensure your display is hitting the right notes for HDR enhanced games. The long-standing issues with the sluggish dashboard are rectified with the newly updated UI, which runs snappier on the One X. The Xbox One X is a very impressive collection of hardware crammed into a sleek case. It runs cool and quiet as it delivers performance a step above any of its console competitors. It’s hard to believe Microsoft exclusives like Gears of War 4 can look so good and run so smoothly on a box that costs less than half of what you’d pay for a high-end gaming PC. Plus, it caters to home theater enthusiasts with 4K UHD Blu-ray playback and Atmos sound. Though much of the Xbox One X's impact depends on developer support and the quality of your display, it delivers exactly what was promised: the most powerful console you can buy right now, by a significant margin, with plenty of potential left to tap. The Xbox One X is the most powerful console, though its full potential is tied to your display and developer support. © 1996-2018 Ziff Davis, LLC.

The Xbox received a much needed boost with the release on the Xbox One X this year. The console's successes have varied, but this year in particular was a big step in the right direction. Part of this can be attributed to the arrival of Xbox One X, currently the most powerful console on the market. In theory, it will be the best way to play cross-platform games. It's this forward-thinking that has given Microsoft an edge over its competition--despite its short list of console exclusives. On the other hand, 2017 also yielded an array of fantastic indie games for Xbox One, further rounding out its lineup of first-party and third-party releases. The Xbox One offers solid experiences that are often made even better by high-end hardware. In no particular order, here are our picks for the best Xbox One games of 2017. Assassin's Creed Origins. After seven years worth of annual releases, it's understandable that people grew fatigued with the Assassin's Creed franchise. However, Assassin's Creed Origins quells doubts and concerns over the series' future by making good on the promise of revitalizing the franchise. Taking form now as an action-RPG, it benefits from expanded stealth and combat mechanics, offering more depth and nuance than its predecessors. Its protagonist Bayek is one of the series' best, possessing kindness and compassion that make him instantly likable, but he's also a morally conflicted character with a tragic past that's easy to empathize with. While Origins maintains the series tradition of period-piece settings and conspiracy theory narratives that made past entries so engrossing, it also reinvigorates the formula with new ideas. The game organically shifts progression through a multitude of activities you discover while navigating a stunning depiction of Ptolemaic Egypt. No longer do you climb towers to unlock a checklist of simplistic tasks; instead, each quest you take on offers narrative context that shines light onto the state of the world, displaying the time-period's myriad injustices or simply showing you a heartfelt encounter between Bayek and his loved ones. Origins is one of the best open-world adventure games on Xbox One this year, offering an experience that'll keep you hooked for hundreds of hours. It's also the best version of the game on consoles, as it performs and looks best on Xbox One X compared to PS4 Pro. If you haven't picked it up, Origins is well worth your time on Xbox One, regardless of whether you're a hardcore fan of Assassin's Creed or not. If a game was made in the 1930s, what would it look like? The answer is: Cuphead. Developer Studio MDHR's creation brings together a wealth of ideas and mechanics that feel completely at home with one another. The game's hand-drawn animation and watercolor backgrounds bring to life a visual style that is both completely unique to video games and executed flawlessly. From the moment the opening title rolls, Cuphead envelops you in its world, one whose authenticity never lets up for a second. But Cuphead is more than just a fancy, well-drawn exterior. The game is an ode to the run-and-gun shooter genre and to classic video games in general, with homages to series like Mega Man, Contra, and Street Fighter. Cuphead's two-dozen-plus bosses not only fill the screen with hazards and obstacles, but also with personality, constantly offering challenges that excite just as much as they frustrate. You're encouraged to get better, though, and eventually overcome its toughest levels. Cuphead is a game that deserves to be seen and played by everyone. Backed by a fully orchestrated jazz soundtrack that you'll catch yourself humming for weeks to come, Cuphead grabs hold of you with its beautiful and infectiously cartoony world, and hopes you never leave it. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus never lets you forget who you're fighting, and why. Nazi brutality is on full display, from the blown-out, irradiated remains of Manhattan to each of the characters, who all carry mental scars if not physical ones. The far-future technology of the Nazi regime is exhilarating to partake in--high-powered laser weapons are exciting to use, after all--but it’s also a grotesque display of their ruthless subjugation of all corners of the world. That said, a tongue-in-cheek tone reminiscent of Inglorious Basterds strikes the right balance with the game’s incredibly heavy subject matter. The New Colossus has a completely bonkers storyline, and it’s elevated by satisfying Nazi-killing action and a self awareness of its own dark humor. It also manages to make combat exciting without becoming a power fantasy--it’s straight-up difficult, and its mechanical, heavily armored enemies can seem impossible to take down at times. But regardless of whether you take a stealthy or guns-blazing approach, you’ll be rewarded with a thrilling fight once you do emerge victorious. The most memorable thing about The New Colossus, though, is its direction. Carefully choreographed cutscenes give more gravity to an already great cast of characters, and the timing of specific moments (all spoilers) makes them all the more impactful. Wolfenstein's tense gameplay elevates this further by giving you the power to truly resist--and come out of each battle ready for another fight. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard marks a return to form for Capcom, which reconnected with its survival horror roots in 2017 to deliver a Resident Evil that is both modern and faithful to the series' legacy. The game casts aside the third-person perspective for first-person, and in doing so, ratchets up the nerve-wracking tension throughout the campaign. Crucially, however, it leans on the genre pillars that it both established and popularised; bullets and healing items are in short supply, and enemies require strategy and a steady hand to take down. From the early moments of breathlessly running around the Baker home, hoping and praying not to cross paths with Jack, the psychotic patriarch of the family, to the nail-biting cat and mouse game in Marguerite's bug-infested cabin, and the intense fight for survival at the end, Resident Evil 7 is edge-of-your-seat gaming at its finest. What Remains of Edith Finch. In What Remains of Edith Finch, you play titular character Edith Finch as she explores her family's old and mysterious mansion. Ever since her ancestors arrived in America from Norway in the 1930s, there's been a rumor that suggests the Finch family tree is cursed, leading to many strange and unfortunate deaths. As you explore the various rooms within the large estate and read old notes from your fallen relatives, the game flashes back and allows you to play out their last moments. What makes What Remains of Edith Finch so powerful is that it does an excellent job tapping into the commonalities of belonging to a family. Who hasn't lost a loved one in life? Seeing how Edith's aunts, uncles, and siblings pass away can be heartbreaking, but these little story vignettes are also wildly imaginative and whimsical. Seeing a hungry little girl eat poisoned berries only to experience hallucinations that lead to her untimely death is both sad and fantastical. Reliving your brother's last moments as he overcomes depression while daydreaming on the job at a fish factory is another haunting, yet beautiful experience. Each vignette in the game is distinct and amounts to short-but-sweet modern-day fairytales. It helps that the game is tied together by wonderful voice acting and meticulously detailed environments that further bolster the story's eerie events. GameSpot will be unveiling its picks for the best games of the year throughout all of December. Check out our Best of 2017 hub for even more. More from Best of Games 2017.

Alternatively, there are a wide variety of bundles with different games and freebies, as laid out below. What you won't find are deals on Xbox One X . A used Xbox 360 will be free with a mail-in rebate at GameStop, however. If you're looking for controllers , again, many retailers will offer a standard discount of $20, bringing the cheapest options to $40. Different Xbox Live Gold subscriptions will be discounted, with perhaps the best option being a three-month membership for $10 at Best Buy. Microsoft has discounted both a month of Xbox Live Gold and a one-month membership to its Xbox Game Pass service to $1, but only for new subscribers. Additionally, a variety of headsets will be discounted. Most importantly, there's no shortage of games on sale. That includes exclusives like Forza Motorsport 7 ($29 at Target), Forza Horizon 3 ($15 at Target), Gears of War 4 ($15 at Best Buy and Target), Halo Wars 2 ($19 at Walmart), Halo 5: Guardians ($15 at Best Buy), and Super Lucky's Tale ($20 at Toys R Us), as well as backwards-compatible games like Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas ($9 each at Walmart) and Red Dead Redemption: Game of the Year Edition ($10 at Best Buy).

You won't find many Microsoft Store game deals below; that's only because we only know the games, but not the specific prices. If you're a My Best Buy Elite or Elite Plus member, you have early access to the store's doorbuster deals by heading to its website now. Meanwhile, the Xbox Store Black Friday sale has begun for all Xbox Live members, following an Xbox Live Gold-only period. It includes hundreds of games, bundles, and DLC packs at nice prices (if, generally speaking, not as cheap as their physical counterparts). There are far too many to list below, but you can see them all here. Both Xbox One and Xbox 360 games are included, including a number of backwards compatible titles on the latter. You can check out our comprehensive list of physical Xbox One deals below. As noted above, this is an evolving list--we'll update it as we find out about more deals.

The best upcoming games to Xbox One for this year. This month brought Monster Hunter World to Xbox One and it's a good way to start off the year. That means Sea of Thieves is the next big things, literally on the horizon as it's ship sails in on March 20. And that's quickly followed by Far Cry 5 on March 27. So a busy way to kick 2018 off. One good things about this year is that we should finally get some much needed Xbox One X exclusives. There's Sea of Thieves, obviously, but also with Crackdown 3 and State of Decay 2 promised for 'Spring'. Plus there's also things like Metal Gear Survive, Vampyr and more on the way. And we'll see a lot more Xbox One X enhanced games joining the library too.. There are a lot of Xbox One games on the way, so this is a big list. You can work though it in order if you want, or skip to the games you want to see using the page links and guide below (in the order everything's out). Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Metal Gear Survive. State of Decay 2. Gwent: The Witcher Card Game. Call of Cthulhu: The Official Game. Red Dead Redemption 2. Kingdom Hearts 3. Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Beyond Good & Evil 2. Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Release date: February 13, 2018. Genre: Action role playing game. What is it? A classic tale of village nobody rising up to kill the bad king, and make everything nice again by cutting stuff up with a sword. What to look out for: It's a big medieval open world adventure built on freedom with numerous non-linear quests that can be completed in several different ways. While the overall aim is to drive out an invading army (who killed your parents) the skill system will let you progress however you want. Classes like warrior, bard, thief, and different hybrid types are mentioned. There's also a time limited converstation system that builds or break relationships. And, just to emphasis the 'real' nature of it all, the player will have needs like sleep and eating, while gear and clothes will degrade and require repair. The Crew 2. Release date: March 16, 2018. What is it? The sequel to Ubi racer that sees you driving, flying and boating across a huge open world adventure. What to look out for: The second game has gone all out with its motoring action, by not only letting you drive just about every vehicle imaginable, you can also switch freely between them. If you get bored of racing you can swap instantly to a plane and soar away from the road. Then, seconds later, swoop over a river and switch to a boat. All of this is happening across a huge, open world interpretation of America, giving you the freedom to indulge just about every kind of racing, flying and boating imaginable. Sea of Thieves. Genre: Online action-adventure. What is it? An online open-world where you join fellow motley pirates, crafting your own stories as you sail the waves. What to look out for: D'you remember the days when Rare turned around and said things like, 'our next game is about a forgotten character in Diddy Kong Racing who now swears and fights turds'? OK, Sea of Thieves isn't quite that much of a departure, but it's a classically Rare-like step into the unknown. A cartoony, pirate-themed MMO, it enables players to craft their own stories as they join a crew, grab a ship and, presumably, brutally attack unsuspecting passers-by. The brief glimpses of high seas action served up at E3 2016 point to a rollicking adventure that looks like it'll provide us with our first worthwhile pirate game since Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. Rare hasn't elaborated much on those custom story tools, and there are also rumours of first-person features, yet despite the remaining questions, our timbers are very much shivered by this ocean outlaw. Release date: March 23, 2018. What is it? A split-screen co-op tale of two rogues trying to break out of prison, who reluctantly team up for mutual benefit. In other words, not exactly an Orange is the New Black buddy comedy. What to look out for: Spearheaded by Josef Fares, the mind between Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, A Way Out going to have you control either Vincent or Leo, who both have the urge to get out. Interestingly the screen is going to be split, with one player perhaps being in a cutscene while the other sneaks around the unsuspecting NPC or takes advantage of their partner's distraction. It looks like collaboration and planning is going to be a key part of the game, and seeing as you can't play it solo it's going to be bonding exercise with either a buddy or an online stranger for many players. Release date: March 27, 2018. What is it? Another bout of free-form, open-world anarchy, this time in a location much closer to home. What to look out for: Making notable steps forward in both gameplay and subject matter, Far Cry 5 could – after a couple of so-so sequels and spin-offs – be the series’ next, stand-out sequel. Moving the action to America for the first time, Far Cry 5 is set in modern-day Montana. Even more intriguingly, it might have – if Ubisoft is willing to follow through – one of the most relevant and controversial stories in recent AAA gaming. Dealing with the very real issue of isolationist, survivalist cults, Far Cry 5 puts you up against a militant ‘faith, freedom, and firearms’ militia in control of a huge swathe of the Montana countryside. Along the way, you’ll recruit a resistance, call in gun-mounted cropdusters, ally with combat priests, and make friends with Good Dogs who will both sick enemies for you, and cheerily bring back those enemies’ guns like so many happily retrieved sticks. And for the first time in the series’ history, there will be a fully-featured character creator, meaning that you can play as whoever you want. Metal Gear Survive. What is it? A strange online spin-off from Metal Gear Solid 5, where Mother Base soldiers battle zombies in an alternate dimension. What to look out for: By all rights, this should utterly, utterly suck. Konami is rapidly trying to exit the traditional triple-A games space, Metal Gear's legendary creator and iconic auteur has bitterly parted ways with the publisher, and oh yeah. IT'S A FREAKIN' ONLINE MGS ZOMBIE GAME. Yet against all odds, the Kojima-less Survive is already looking decidedly decent. The demo from 2016's Tokyo Game Show revealed a game that's undeniably erected on MGSV's building blocks - hell, its 'alternate dimension' Afghan map reuses loads of assets from The Phantom Pain - yet one that still has a few tricks of its own to deploy. Four-player co-op carnage against rampaging zombie hordes. Healing smashed limbs, Snake-Eater style. Building barricades in a way that's reminiscent of old school COD zombies. A seeming return for MGS4's threat ring. Survive may be a bizarre, somewhat shameless spin-off, but you can't accuse it of being boring. And yes, you can still Fulton sheep. Bloodstained. Genre: Action-adventure exploration platformer. What is it? A side-scroller heavy with the influence of Castlevania, which will have you slashing your way past demons as you puzzle your way through an eerie mansion. What to look out for: If you lie awake at night missing Castlevania, I have some excellent news. The mastermind behind the later 2D series, Koji Igarashi. is hiding away working on his newest game. Centred around orphan Miriam, it’s a tale about her voyage to lift the curse that’s slowly turning her skin into crystal. As would be expected, she’s not crazy about the idea of becoming a walking mineral, so she sets off to hunt down a summoner who has suffered from the same affliction for a long time. Nostalgia will hit you in the face if you’re a fan of Castlevania, as it’s got the same seamless action, gothic atmosphere, and haunted locale spelunking. Current page: Page 1.

The Best Xbox One Games of 2017. Highlights. The Xbox One has had a lean year Halo Wars 2 tops our list of favourites 2018 should have a better showing from Microsoft. The Xbox One has had a lean year. With the cancellation of Scalebound, and delays for Crackdown 3, Microsoft’s console has seen better days than 2017. It's mostly managed to stay relevant thanks to the Xbox One X, which launched near the end of the year, heralded as the "world's most powerful console". We called it "Microsoft's greatest triumph", so you know what we feel about it. On the software front, Sony definitely had a better year for exclusives, but if you were a part of Team Xbox, things weren't all bad either. There were still some great games in 2017 - both exclusives and third party games - for those who own an Xbox One. Here are our favourites. Taking place shortly after what happened in Halo 5, this sequel is set 28 years the proceedings of the first Halo Wars game. You’re in control of the troops of a giant space cruiser known as the Spirit of Fire. And while its the same ship and characters from Halo Wars, you now find yourself on the Ark — a sprawling planet-like installation from other games - against a new alien faction known as the Banished. Halo Wars 2 may be a sequel to 2009’s Halo Wars real-time strategy game (RTS), but in tone it's much closer to the first person shooter (FPS) that started it all - Halo: Combat Evolved. This is because of slick story-telling, but also intuitive controls, that help bring out the potential of the RTS genre on consoles. The moment we started playing Cuphead, we were instantly reminded of indie platformers such as Super Meat Boy. That's never a bad thing, though Cuphead is really a run and gun shoot 'em up. In these games, death follows quickly if you land just one pixel in the wrong direction, and the only way to win is by honing your reflexes to get better with each try. Cuphead is exactly that kind of game. If you enjoy challenging games, you will love Cuphead. It has all the elements of a great shoot ‘em up— fun music, great level design, nice collection of weapons, and a rewarding difficulty curve. Long loading times aside, Cuphead gets pretty much everything right. Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus. This shooter is set in an alternate universe where the Axis forces won the Second World War. You're back in the role of series protagonist William "B.J." Blazkowicz, and are tasked with setting up a revolution in America, to fight against the Nazi regime that was set up after the dropping of an atomic bomb in Manhattan. Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus does not seem to be a game from 2017 - in a good way. It’s an oddity in an industry that is currently obsessed with open-worlds, micro-transactions, and always online play. It has none of those, and instead sticks to being one of the best single-player experiences we’ve had this generation, and that alone makes it a game that needs to be experienced. That's particularly true on the Xbox One X thanks to enhanced visuals at 4K and 60fps, making it one of the better games to buy on the One X. Tacoma is a first-person narrative adventure set in the depths of space aboard a space station by the same name. It’s developed by Fullbright, the studio behind Gone Home. Much like in that game, here too, you play a solitary explorer in an abandoned environment. You’re in the role of Amy Ferrier, a contractor tasked with retrieving Odin - Tacoma’s AI - for its owner, the Venturis corporation. You’ll explore the various areas within the ship, such as the medical bay, engineering, and even the personal spaces of the now evacuated staff. Along the way, you’ll piece together what happened in the hours and days before Tacoma’s inhabitants fled. The game stirs up some interesting arguments about AI, privacy, and loyalty, and has a fantastic set of characters along solid execution of its plot, that make it worth a purchase. In isometric open-world action game Tokyo 42, you’re wanted for a murder you didn’t commit. To clear your name, you become an assassin and murder a huge number of people - video game logic at its finest. Tokyo 42 is a game that wears its inspirations on its sleeve. The art direction is reminiscent of Monument Valley, while its open-world and interactions are derived from earlier Grand Theft Auto games, and its combat has a lot in common with Hotline Miami. However it’s just as entertaining as its inspirations if not more so. Although these were our top picks for the best games available on the Xbox One in 2017, there were some other games that we enjoyed a lot as well Honorable mentions include PUBG in Xbox Game Preview, Halo 5 bringing back the Oddball game mode and Forza Horizon 3’s Hotwheels expansion to name a few. 2018 should see Crackdown 3, Sea of Thieves, State of Decay 2, and The Last Night hit the Xbox One. E3 2018 should see some big announcements too. Halo 6 and Gears of War 5 maybe? Only time will tell. What are your favourite Xbox One Games from 2017? Let us know via the comments.

Best Xbox One Games 2018. Best Xbox One Games. The Xbox One is home to some of the best games of this generation, from big exclusives such as Gears of War 4 and Forza Horizon 3 to awesome third-party blockbusters like Resident Evil 7 and Overwatch. And now that the Xbox One X is here, you can enjoy many these games in beautiful 4K with all kinds of neat performance benefits. But regardless of whether you're upgrading or sticking with your trusty Xbox One S, here are the best games to play right now, from massive role-playing adventures to small indie masterpieces. Looking for the best titles to play in 4K? Check out our roundup of the best Xbox One X Enhanced games! Gears of War 4. Gears is back and better than ever. Gears of War 4 returns to planet Sera, only this time you're playing as JD Fenix, son of the hero of the original trilogy. It's up to you to run, gun and even chainsaw through the gooey hordes standing between you and victory. But as much fun as the single-player campaign is, it's all about the multiplayer, including staples like Team Deathmatch, King of the Hill and the refined Horde 3.0, where you're fighting off wave after wave of angry gun-toting creatures. Trust us -- you haven't lived until you've yanked and shanked someone from that decisive victory. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Is fighting mythological beasts like dragons and wraiths your thing? Do you like going on epic quests with the promise of untold riches? Do you like spending countless hours playing cards? Then The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt may be the game for you. The third entry in the Witcher series takes protagonist Geralt of Rivera throughout the world of The Continent as he searches for his lost love and his adopted daughter. Touted as one of the largest open-world third-person action role-playing games on the market, this bombastic title is one with which players should expect to spend at least 100 hours. Cuphead marries brutal 2D platforming with a gorgeous hand-drawn art style inspired by 1930s cartoons, resulting in a package that’s equal parts charming and challenging. This captivating sidescroller is defined by inventive, punishing boss fights that are complemented by a handful of platforming levels, all of which you can enjoy either solo or with a friend. Cuphead might make you want to throw your controller at times, but overcoming each unforgiving encounter provides some of the most satisfaction you’ll find from any action game. Overwatch is the rare multiplayer shooter that just about anybody can enjoy. Featuring over 20 colorful characters that battle in equally colorful arenas, this game is all about working as a team and tapping into your hero's unique abilities rather than simply racking up kills. With tons of skins to unlock and a steady flow of free content updates, Overwatch is the kind of game that could keep you hooked for months -- or years. Plus, what other game lets you put a cowboy, a talking gorilla, a pop star in a mech suit and a roller-skating medic all on the same team? Assassin's Creed Origins. After taking a year off to retool, Ubisoft delivered one of the best Assassin’s Creed games yet with Assassin's Creed Origins. This gorgeous open-world adventure sets you loose in ancient Egypt, where you’ll stealthily take down enemies, explore famous pyramids and tombs, and even ride a few camels. While Origins sticks to the Assassin’s Creed formula pretty closely, it does so with some of the most satisfying combat and storytelling the series has seen yet. It’s also a stunning showpiece for the new Xbox One X, thanks to breathtaking visuals that look especially great in 4K. Dragon Ball FighterZ. Dragon Ball FighterZ is a must-have for Dragon Ball fans and fighting game fanatics alike. The game's stunning visuals make every match feel like an episode of the anime, while its frenetic 3-on-3 fighting system is inviting for button mashers while offering tons of depth for competitive players. Factor in a rich, RPG-like story mode, plenty of online options, and heaps of fan service moments both in and out of battle, and FighterZ is the ultimate game for anyone who wants to feel like a Saiyan. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. Picking up where Wolfenstein: The New Order left off, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is a bigger, bolder sequel that puts you back in the boots of B.J. Blazkowicz as you fight to liberate a Nazi-controlled America. The New Colossus stands out with its cinematic storytelling and unforgettable characters, but it also lets you indulge in the delight of killing Nazis with a whole bunch of satisfying weapons, upgradable abilities and open-ended combat encounters.

Xbox One X, Dynamic Resolution Support Added in Unity 2017.3. Unity 2017.3 is available now for developers all around the globe, delivering an impressive array of improvements across the board. Xbox One X gamers will be particularly happy to know that Microsoft’s new console is now officially supported in all Unity 2017 versions of the engine. Furthermore, the increasingly popular dynamic resolution feature is now available for the Xbox One platform, with other platforms due to become compatible with it at a later date. We added support for the new Xbox One X console from Microsoft. Use Quality Settings to enable support for 4K HDR rendering, or use the extra power in other ways such as improving framerate or increasing graphical fidelity. Xbox One X support is available in all 2017.x versions of Unity. There is now support for HDR compressed lightmaps (BC6H) on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. We also made a number of GPU instancing improvements, and we’re adding Dynamic Resolution as an engine feature debuting on the Xbox One platform with other platforms to follow later. Dynamic Resolution debuting on Xbox One platform. As its name suggests, Dynamic Resolution refers to dynamically scaling some or all of the render targets to reduce workload on the GPU. Dynamic Resolution can be triggered automatically when performance data indicates that the game is about to drop frames due to being GPU bound. In such a case, gradually scaling down the resolution can help maintain a solid frame rate. It can also be triggered manually if the user is about to experience a particularly GPU intensive part of gameplay. If scaled gradually, Dynamic Resolution can be virtually unnoticeable. Two Unity powered games that could very well make use of Unity 2017 to add Xbox One X support are the recently announced Antigraviator anti-gravity racing game as well as the gorgeous action/adventure RPG Ghost of a Tale, available now via Game Preview.
