Top frequently asked questions.
How do I use Xbox One Backward Compatibility?
The digital titles that you own and are part of the Back Compat game catalog will automatically show up in the “Ready to Install” section on your Xbox One. For disc-based games that are a part of the Back Compat game catalog, insert the disc and the console will begin downloading the game to your hard drive. After the game has downloaded to your hard drive, users will still need to keep the game disc in the drive to play.
Does backward compatibility cost extra?
Xbox One Backward Compatibility is free and allows you to play select Xbox 360 and Original Xbox games you already own on Xbox One.
Is Xbox Live Gold required for backward compatibility?
Xbox Live Gold is not required for Xbox One Backward Compatibility. However, it is required for any standard Xbox Live Gold feature like online multiplayer.
Will functionality for the Original Xbox games via Xbox One Backward Compatibility change from the Xbox 360 games in any way?
Functionality will be very similar. You can play the digital or disc-based game you own, taking advantage of Xbox One features like Game DVR and broadcasting.
Since these are the original games, not remasters, Xbox Live services such as online multiplayer and in-game marketplaces that were available on the Original Xbox, will not be available. However, offline multiplayer scenarios such as co-op, party scenarios (multiple controller on one console), and system-link are supported if they were supported on the Original Xbox. With system-link (if game supports the feature), you can play with others across Original Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox One S and Xbox One X consoles.
There are no Xbox achievements for Original Xbox games because this functionality was not available on the Original Xbox at that time of its release. Lastly, game saves will not transfer to Xbox One but once created on Xbox One, the game saves can transfer to other Xbox One consoles through the cloud.

The biggest and best superhero game on Xbox One is easily LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. Featuring just about every beloved Marvel hero and villain you can think of – The X-Men, Spider Man, Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Guardians of the Galaxy, Fantastic Four and more – LEGO Marvel Super Heroes gives you the massive, open world of Manhattan to explore while trying to stop an evil plot by Loki and Doctor Doom.

Minecraft Story Mode takes place in the familiar blocky world players know and love, but features a large fully voiced cast of characters and a linear story about your character using their unique building abilities to seek out a mysterious group of heroes called the Order of the Stone and, eventually, save the world.
This is a story-driven game where you talk to characters, find items, and solve basic puzzles to access new areas and move the story forward; it's not an open world like normal Minecraft. It does have the traditional Minecraft crafting and building elements at key points in the story, however.
Even the most experienced Minecraft players will enjoy seeing all of the familiar items, blocks, locations and techniques presented in a new way here. The combination of the familiar Minecraft aesthetic with an actual story and cast of lovable characters make Minecraft Story Mode a must-play.
Music games like Rock Band 4 are great for kids and the whole family because they allow everyone to play together with the guitar, bass, drums and microphone. Sure, the fake plastic instruments aren’t very close to the real thing in these games, but learning basic musical timing and rhythms and getting your fingers into shape playing Rock Band really does help when it comes to learning to play the real thing.
The music selection in Rock Band 4 is absolutely massive as well, thanks to the huge amount of songs in just about every genre that are available as downloadable content. So more than likely your favorite songs will be playable in the game. Creating music, even with toy instruments, is extremely satisfying, and sharing that feeling with kids can lead them to a lifetime of loving music.

Toy-to-life games are awesome for kids because they’re really two toys/games in one. To start, you get real world toys and action figures that are fun to play with, but those special figures can also be scanned into a video game and played digitally as well. Our favorite toy-to-life game, LEGO Dimensions, takes it one step further by having you actually build the figures and playsets (which include licenses such as “Jurassic World,” “Back to the Future,” “Ghostbusters,” “Doctor Who,” “Scooby-Doo” and more) piece-by-piece with LEGO bricks. The video game levels based on those licenses are the same 3D action/platforming as other LEGO games, but you can swap any characters from any license in and out on any level, which creates some fun and funny crossover situations you’ll only find in LEGO Dimensions.
The “Jurassic Park” movies aren’t always exactly kid-friendly, but LEGO Jurassic World presents all four of the films in a light-hearted and humorous way where no one actually dies or gets hurt, and any violence is replaced with silly jokes. Not only does the game let you play through the plot of all four “Jurassic” movies, but it also gives you fully open world versions of the locations from the movies for you to explore.
Even better, along with the playable cast of human characters like Alan Grant, Dr. Sattler, Ian Malcom and more, there are also a number of playable dinosaurs including velociraptors, brontosaurus and T-Rex. The graphics are an interesting mix of realistic backgrounds with plastic characters that looks fantastic, and the sound effects/music were all taken directly from the movies.

Zoo Tycoon is a zoo building/management simulator at its core, but its real appeal comes from the fact that it is a great way to simply observe and interact with animals. The free play mode allows you to ignore the management aspect entirely so you can just build a zoo with whatever animals you want, and it is in this mode where the experience really shines.
Lions, tigers, bears, elephants, giraffes, chimpanzees and many other species of animals are available here, and just sitting back and watching them as they run around and play is an absolute joy. The graphics are fantastic, right down to the soft- and fuzzy-looking fur on the animals that makes you want to reach out and touch.
The best kids' games get them to think a little and maybe learn something new, and Adventure Time: Finn & Jake Investigations does this very well. In this game, Jake (the dog) and Finn (the boy) have to solve mysteries all over the land of Ooo. You explore fully 3D versions of key locations from the show, like Treetrunks’ house or Princess Bubblegum’s palace, in order to find clues and items that you piece together to solve the mystery.
Things like combining a bottle+water+soap to make a giant bubble so you can float upward, or having to interview everyone around town to figure out who took a key item are just some of the puzzles. You really have to think critically and be smart, and solving the puzzles is really quite fun. All of the fan-favorite characters from the show are here, fully voiced by the real actors, and the presentation overall is top notch.

Kinect for Xbox One was an undeniable flop, but if you do happen to have a Kinect you’re in for a treat with Fantasia: Music Evolved. Fantasia: Music Evolved pairs the visual brilliance of the Disney “Fantasia” films with a motion-controlled music game where you create music like the conductor of a symphony. The game includes classical pieces from Mozart and Bach, as well as modern songs from David Bowie and Queen.
By moving your hands in different ways to mimic onscreen indicators, you bring the music to life. The gameplay is relatively simple and intuitive, but the challenge comes from making sure your hands and body are in the right position to complete the next series of moves, not just the current one, which is tougher than it sounds. Once you learn to play, though, Fantasia: Music Evolved is extremely fun and stands as easily the best Kinect game ever.

Starting tomorrow, for the first time, you’ll be able to play three generations of games on one console – a curated list of Original Xbox classics like Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and more will be available across the entire Xbox One family of devices. And when Xbox One X launches on Nov. 7, you can run select Xbox 360 games at higher resolution, 9X the original pixel count, and with expanded color details. Xbox One X Enhanced Xbox 360 games will include favorites like Halo 3 and Fallout 3 .
Compatibility is important to Xbox, to developers and their games, and our community. Preserving the art form of video games is part of our DNA, which is why Xbox One is the only console designed to play the best games of the past, present and future. We’re excited to continue to deliver on our vision of compatibility by adding Original Xbox games to the existing Backward Compatible library.
Original Xbox games available tomorrow on Xbox One.
The 13 Original Xbox games releasing tomorrow will look better on the Xbox One family of devices, taking advantage of the power of Xbox One with up to 4X the pixel count on Xbox One and Xbox One S, and up to 16X the pixel count on Xbox One X. You’ll be able to play Original Xbox games on Xbox One through the disc you already own, or you can purchase the games digitally in the Microsoft Store.
Since these are original games and not remasters, Xbox Live services such as online multiplayer that were available on the original Xbox will not be available. However, offline multiplayer scenarios such as co-op and system-link are supported as they were originally. There will also be no Achievements for Original Xbox games because this functionality was also not originally available.
Below is the first curated batch of Original Xbox games we’re releasing into the Xbox One Backward Compatibility program. We expect to release another curated list of Original Xbox classics in Spring 2018, so stayed tuned for more. And to help celebrate the launch of Original Xbox games into the Xbox One Backward Compatibility library, Xbox Game Pass members get access to Xbox Original Ninja Gaiden Black for free as a part of their membership to the game subscription service.
Select Xbox 360 games will run at a higher resolution on Xbox One X.
When the world’s most powerful console launches on Nov. 7, you will be able to run select Xbox 360 games at higher resolution, 9X the original pixel count, and expanded color details. The team developed the Heutchy Method (after the engineer who created it) which leverages the power of Xbox One X to let the Xbox 360 emulator present the very best version of the game possible with the existing assets—all without touching the game code. The same method improves the graphics for Original Xbox games on Xbox One and Xbox One S.
Here are the Xbox 360 games that will join the Xbox One X Enhanced catalog on Nov. 7.
We created the Xbox One Backward Compatibility program for our fans and we’re thrilled with the response we’ve seen – gamers have spent more than 700M hours playing Xbox 360 games on Xbox One. It’s been quite the journey; the team has worked tirelessly so you can experience your favorite games across generations on Xbox One. Original Xbox classics join more than 400 Xbox 360 games in the Xbox One Backward Compatibility program, which also means we’ll have our largest console launch portfolio ever when Xbox One X releases on Nov. 7.
If you’re interested in learning more about the story of Xbox One Backward Compatibility, we encourage you to read this exclusive article from IGN. To celebrate this release, we are inviting fans to join us on Mixer tomorrow at 11AM PT for a special stream with the Backward Compatibility team. We’ll be joined by special guest James Ohlen, Lead Designer for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic , and will have giveaways, gameplay, and will be answering your questions throughout the stream.
The Xbox One will be able to play your old Xbox 360 games, but there's a catch.
Microsoft just announced its living-room game console, the Xbox One, will be backward compatible with Xbox 360 games.
Microsoft plans to offer digital copies of Xbox 360 titles to anyone who has purchased them, but you'll still be able to play your old discs.
But there's a catch: Not all Xbox 360 games will work with the service. Microsoft said about 100 titles will be available when the feature launches "this holiday season," but during the Monday news conference, Microsoft showcased "Mass Effect," one of the most popular games from last-generation consoles, as an example of a 360 game you will be able to play on your current-gen console.
This is a huge move for Microsoft as it aims to better compete with Sony's PlayStation 4, which got a head start in this generation's console wars.

The 25 best Xbox One games.
What are the best Xbox One games to buy? Take a look at this list and all will become clear.
The cream of the crop.
In case you missed it, Monster Hunter World is pretty popular right now. It's sold well, and is good, but it's best Xbox One games good?
Well, not quite. There's been some online problems on Xbox One and while it's good, it's not really a hall of fame job. It was a similar story with the recent Vanishing of Ethan Carter, an atmospheric supernatural murder mystery that, like Monster Hunter World, is highly recommended. However, when you've only 25 places to fill they've got to go to the best of the best.
That means things like Assassin's Creed Origins and Wolfenstein 2 most recently. They're also two Xbox One X Enhanced games so if you have a 4K TV and an X, then those are great games to show everything off.
In terms of upcoming Xbox One games, Coming up soon we'll have Monster Hunter World on Jan 26, and Far Cry 5 on March 27, along with this little selection over the next couple of months.
Mar 13 - The Crew 2.
Mar 23 - A Way Out.
'Spring' - State of Decay 2.
'Spring - Crackdown 3.
Only time will tell if any of those will make it into the 25 best Xbox One games list.
For the meantime, though the best Xbox One games is still full of classics like Fallout 4 , Cuphead , Titanfall 2 , Minecraft and Gears of War 4 . If it's an essential Xbox One title it's here, and as there's only 25 places competition only the best get a look in. Every time something new comes alone we review it, appraise it and then, if it's good enough, it might be added here.
25. Final Fantasy 15.
The Final Fantasy name isn't exactly synonymous with Microsoft's console, but we're happy just the same as Final Fantasy 15 is easily one of the best RPGs of the year. It blends the vast open-worlds of Western RPGs with Final Fantasy's hallmark over-the-top anime absurdity to great effect, crafting a world based on the highways and byways of Middle America while filling that world with ferocious monsters, massive crystals, and powerful magic. There are times when Final Fantasy 15 feels like an idiosyncratic mishmash of ideas, but when you throw everything together - the strange world, the thrilling, real-time combat, the lovable characters who stick with you for your entire journey - it becomes something much greater than the sum of its parts. It becomes one of the best Final Fantasy games in ages; a game well worth the wait.
24. Cuphead.
After delays that led to maybe just a touch of apathy, Cuphead is here and has instantly become one of the best shooters all time (according to our review). While the presentation is crafted beautifully from 1930 cartoon art - things like Betty Boop shorts and Disney's Silly Symphonies - this takes gameplay cues from sources like Mega Man, Contra, Metal Slug, and Gunstar Heroes. The levels aren’t huge but it’s the challenge, not the size that matters here as you dodge bullets and learn enemy patterns. Everything tests your skills and reactions in a range of interesting ways and, most importantly, are a joy to beat.
23. Halo: Master Chief Collection.
*braces for complaints* Yes, we are well aware of the problems that plagued this particular entry, but now that it works, there's no doubting the craftsmanship here. Bungie's genius meets 343's love in a package that truly does justice to an industry-shaking legacy. Buffed-up, revarnished and back in the shop window, The Master Chief Collection leaves us to wonder if Halo always looked so lovely. And you know what? It more or less did.
Is that mug a Mimic? How about that chair? Or even that corpse. There's nothing quite like exploring Talos-1, just waiting for its terrifying alien predators to appear when you least expect it before splatting them senseless with a wrench. But that's only the beginning of the joys of Prey. Before long, you're expertly juggling Neuromods, experimenting with new abilities and attempting to stay out of sight of horrific Typhons and the frankly intimidating Nightmare. Prey requires to explore every inch of its space station, heading into tunnels when you'd rather go the other way and hunting down corpses of those who came before. Add in the twisting narrative that gradually unravels before you and this is an instant addition to our best Xbox One games list. Just remember your GLOO gun. You'll need it.
21. Rainbow Six Siege.
The first few minutes of a Rainbow Six: Siege match feel more like a slasher film than an all-guns-blazing FPS. The pitter-patter of combat booted feet sounds through the roof. Defenders erect Home Alone defences. Was that the whine of a rappel buckle? It's a sense of tension that beats most horror games. And once all hell does break loose, you're suddenly thrown into the midst of deep, strategical, brutally unforgiving warfare. Ripe with tactical options and built for "one more go" appeal, this is by far Xbox One’s smartest multiplayer shooter.
20. Halo 5: Guardians.
Halo's always been a balance of campaign with multiplayer, but this entry's a tad lopsided. The story of Locke chasing Chief isn't quite the era-defining moment we were hoping for but, luckily, it's the series-best multiplayer that gets our visors misty. Halo 5: Guardians offers so very much to prospective online warmongers. Arena is a return to the Halo of old, tense cerebral skirmishes that are an oasis of sanity in a sea of crude shooters. If you fancy some madness, then you have Warzone - mega-battles powered by a desperately addictive card-collecting system. And more's being added - 343 just reintroduced Big Team Battles and a new version of classic map, Blood Gulch for free. We're home.
19. Ori and the Blind Forest.
Imagine a lavish, beautiful storybook world… that slams shut on your stupid, bleeding fingers for seven brutal hours. This is Ori and the Blind Forest, the result of Microsoft handing a group of retro fanatics enough money (and freedom) to make a worthy successor to the platformers of old. Not only is this a pitch-perfect update to the formula set up by Metroid and Castlevania, combining mechanical satisfaction with tear-jerking narrative sequences, it's also quite probably the best-looking 2D game of all time. So yeah, it's pretty special.
18. Middle-earth: Shadow of War.
With a bigger, richer world and more tightly honed mechanics Shadow of War is a great sequel - the combat is more immediate and satisfying, the environments more detailed varied, and everything combines beautifully. It's also one of the best Xbox One X enhanced games if you want to show off all that power. This is a big game though - seriously, seriously huge. 15 hours or so will finish the prologue; another 25 odd will unlock the rest of the map, so don't pick this up for a quick fling - you need to commit. The series' nemesis system that defines the series has had expanded to create a twisting narrative of encounters, defeats and victories as you meet and battle various orcs - yours and their progress defined by who wins the fight. This time it's also been expanded to include castles you can storm, building and training an army up to the task. Even if you don't like Lord of the Rings, it's a massive and exciting open world to explore.
17. FIFA 18.
It's another step on for FIFA 18 this year, with some great tweaks to the action: taking a shot from a distance now has more impact, crosses are improved with a genuine whip added to the ball. AI's been improved as well with far more individual character and personality to different star's playing styles and, while lower league team don't feels quite as good, teams do have different feeling tactics when you play them. The continuation of the single player Journey also continues to impress with an exciting and even occasionally touching campaign as you follow his career. It's this mode that gives FIFA 18 the edge over PES this year as it's leagues ahead of any comparable mode you might find in similar games. And, finally, the monster that is FIFA Ultimate Team is improved by Squad Battles which let you progress better without spending real money. A welcome addition if chasing cards and coins is big part of your life.
16. Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus.
Wolfenstein: The New Order is one of the most unique, brutal, brave, hilarious, and intelligent shooters of the generation so far. MachineGames' sequel, The New Colossus, confidently doubles down on all of that. Moving BJ Blazkowicz's very personal war further into the alternative-universe '60s, and transposing it to an America under Nazi rule, The New Colossus is uncompromisingly relevant. It's a smart, sensitive, and emotive discussion of callousness, prejudice, and cruelty, that nevertheless knows how to be fun at all times. A biting portrait of human failures and social horrors, that does its biting with big robot teeth and hatchet blades. It's a game that exemplifies heart and brains throughout, but never with more unremitting flair than when it comes to the noble art of tearing Nazis to shreds with bloody and balletic style.
15. Battlefield 1.
We were worried DICE had set themselves up for a fall with a WW1 shooter, when Battlefield 1 was announced. Taking on one of the most bloody and tragic conflicts in human history isn't typically the best starting point for a fun game. But the anthology format is a masterstroke, using different perspectives to capture the sensational action of conflict, while sensitively showing the human cost of war. The story of the British chauffeur turned tank driver alone is more emotionally nuanced than anything we've seen from Battlefield before. But this isn't some weepy drama – it's a WW1 epic, an overwhelming shooter like nothing else on Xbox One, with 64 player multiplayer mode to keep you coming back. It's a gamble that paid off. Just be careful how you Tweet about it next time, OK EA?
14. Rocket League.
Nobody expected this to be quite such an explosive success but then think objectively and put the words ‘cars’ and ‘football’ together and suddenly it all makes beautifully insane sense. Both local and online modes for its petrol fuelled madness makes Rocket League multiplayer gold. Slews of DLC - Back To The Future’s DeLorean anyone - since release and now a new Xbox One/PC multiplayer option means it’s now bigger and better than ever, and there’s no better time to put your hand on your wallet and foot on the gas. Make it one of your life… goals.
13. Rise of the Tomb Raider.
Don’t be fooled by its frostbitten landscapes; this is the kind of barn-burning action-adventure that, until recently, only (ahem) other consoles used to get. Pivoting effortlessly from digital sightseeing to cinematic survival, then into stealth before exploding into brutal action, this is truly blockbuster stuff - appropriate for one of gaming's biggest icons. Amidst a gaming landscape packed with open worlds that sap full weeks of your life away, that Rise of the Tomb Raider packs all its thrills into a dizzying ten hours isn't just welcome, it's an accomplishment - this is non-stop fun. Except when Lara's murdered by your fumbling fingers. That's not so nice.
12. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.
Let's face it. Resident Evil had gone a bit like a foot left out of the fridge too long. A bit, well, off . After the glorious heady heights of Resi 4 defining the third person shooter as we know it, it all got a bit mediocre. Well 2017 is the year Resi got its groove back and you should be very afraid. Turning the franchise on its head, Resident Evil 7 is a first person survival terror-fest that sees you sneaking through a decrepit Louisiana mansion hunting for your missing wife. Texas Chainsaw Massacre style fiends? Check. Horrific body horror? Check that too. Add in a story that'll leave you forgetting to breathe for a little too long and Resident Evil 7 manages to be an exhilarating rollercoaster ride that reinvents the franchise. Sure you'll recognise those green herbs but this is a new brand of horror that just demands you creep through its hallways even if it feels like you should run in the opposite direction.
11. Forza Motorsport 7.
Improved AI, collisions, handling - what Forza Motorsport 7 gets right reads like a list of everything a racing game should do perfectly. Cars all feel great to control, giving you the confidence you need to push the handling to its limits - drifting on cue, or hugging the rails when you need dig the tires in. In fact, throughout, this a game that tweaks and adjusts everything the previous installment got wrong. It’s all about delivering the best player experience and creating a game that’s both realistic and fun. Some of the progression is a little demanding, with numerous barriers to surmount as you collect cars and win events, but there’s nothing that really take the shine of one the greatest racers currently available.
10. Gears of War 4.
It was during Act Four, when the storm was raging, bullets were flying from all sides, blood was gushing all over us as we chainsawed close-up enemies and then tried to aim at those sniping us from afar, when suddenly the music rose at the perfect moment. It was as if God himself was singing 'I'm really sorry for Gears of War: Judgment'. Apology accepted. A bloodbath with real brains, Gears of War 4 adds an army of new monsters, each demanding fresh tactics to dispatch and bringing new ideas to how we approach combat. It means the first sequel since Gears 2 that can surprise newcomers without sacrificing the excellent cover-shooting that made the series famous. Bloody essential.
9. Titanfall 2.
Any FPS that lets you run along walls and then double jump into a giant mechanical Titan instantly has our attention. Titanfall 2 does that and so much more. “But where's our single-player?” we moaned, when the first Titanfall came to Xbox in 2014. “Fine!” retorted Respawn. “How about for this sequel, we tell the story of a pilot and his Titan? One where you steadily unlock Titan weapons that look powerful enough to burn the universe in half? How about a stage wherein you can travel through time at the touch of a button? How about several hours of dizzyingly paced, ideas-stuffed action that makes every shooter since we made Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare look lazy?” Well that certainly shut us up. Throw in Bounty Hunt, a capitalist nightmare of an essential multiplayer mode, and we promise never to accuse Respawn of laziness again.
8. Overwatch.
Well if Valve aren't going to bother making Team Fortress 3, we'll have Blizzard do it instead. The World of Warcraft studio had never made a shooter before, so it makes no sense at all that Overwatch is one of the best multiplayer FPS' ever. A ridiculously varied cast of colourful heroes, each with powers that should logically break the game (Tracer can travel back through time for crying out loud!) Yet it all checks and balances, letting us fire bows and arrows, sky dragons, walls of ice and whip chains through the air for hours and hours without ever feeling like its cheaty or unfair. Months later, and still the only flaw we can find is Tracer's horrid cockney accent. By this logic, if Blizzard ever offer to make us dinner, expect world hunger to be eradicated within the hour.
7. Destiny 2.
After the endless, life absorbing life sink of the original game what could Destiny 2 possibly do to beat it? The answer is actually obvious: more of the same, only richer, more accessible and. just. more Destiny. The sequel takes nearly every element of the space travelling, gun collecting, number raising MMO and polishes it to a fine sheen. You can see almost every area where Bungie learned from the last game, making the areas you explore richer with things to do, adding depth to both the systems that progress your character, and hte activities you take on to do so. Few games mix combat, multiplayer and character progressions so well and it's an addictive draw as a result.
6. Grand Theft Auto 5.
Gaming's biggest blockbuster deserves its place at the head of the list. GTA 5 was already an excellent, brutal, beautiful open-world game, and is made even more so on Xbox One with a visual tidy-up, a glut of new content and the addition of first-person pedestrian-beating. With the addition of online Heists to make its online component even more enticing, Rockstar edges closer to making a game world so vast and varied that you could start to do away with anything else. Which, come to think of it, was probably the plan all along.
5. Minecraft.
As simple or as complex as you want it to be, Minecraft is the perfect example of a game that lives up to the hype. Whether you just fancy pottering around in creative mode, or jumping into survival to take on various blocky nasties in your quest for the End, Mojang's masterpiece always feels perfectly yours and unique. This is a world worth just wandering in for eternity. Plus, the constant evolution with new packs, new textures and gameplay tweaks means that Minecraft is always moving forward. If you thought it was just about stacking up green blocks, it's time to catch up.
4. Assassin's Creed Origins.
Assassin's Creed Origins is the long awaited reboot the series has needed. And ye gods, is it ever exactly what we hoped for. It's also a flagship Xbox One X Enhanced game so a great way to show off your new console. Remodelling Assassin's Creed into a true open-world RPG, full of creative stabbing, character stats, and malleable gameplay (What is best in life, Conan?), the ancient Egyptian adventure is a vast, sprawling, actual, bona fide country of a game, packing with detail, side-quests, and secrets to tackle your own way, at any time you want.
With the overhauled combat now fuelled by a fully customisable gear system (Want twin daggers that put people to sleep, and a poisonous shield? Or a sword that buffs your health, and a bow with controllable arrows? You can have all of these things), any hint of the old series’ weary gameplay is long gone. Packed with wit, warmth, and a staggering scale of options, it's really rather fitting that the game that goes back to the beginning of the story is also the one that gives Assassin's Creed a fresh start.
3. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain.
If we didn't know better (or should that be worse?), we'd say Konami took the Hideo Kojima brand off of his last stab at MGS 5: The Phantom Pain because it feels quite so different to his previous efforts. Yes, it's packed with the off-kilter jokes, mechanical ingenuity and conspiracy theories so wild they're seemingly drawn from the darkest of the internet's depths - but at it's core, this is a very different kind of Hideo Kojima game.
2. Fallout 4.
We sort of knew what we were getting. It's big, it's buggy, it's Bethesda. Fallout 4 is a natural evolution, bringing with it the often aimless exploration, gentle humour and moral greyitude of the last two instalments, while propping it all up with a new-gen veneer. They might not be enormous shifts, but main character voice acting, better gunplay and (shock) not having to look inside crates to loot them all make this a streamlined version of a now-classic formula. Frame rate dips and occasionally horrifying glitches rear their heads as usual, but it's difficult to feel too bad when there's simply so much going on. Once again, Bethesda has crammed several games' worth of joyously inconsequential stuff in here, resulting in one of the most compulsive, moreish games of this generation. Get stuck in, and you won't emerge for weeks.
1. Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
One of the most immersive RPGs ever made - a standout, mutable storyline, endlessly satisfying detective-cum-hitman Contracts, and side quests deeper than many games' main campaigns. The Witcher 3's world is one of the few game spaces to deserve that title - full of political intrigue, folklore and gross beasts to slice into ribbons. And all of that's failing to mention CD Projekt RED's raft of free DLC, and a couple of expansion packs - the first of which, Hearts of Stone, is responsible for this shooting up to the highest reaches of this list. Beautiful, rewarding and essential, this is a game we'll remember for years and years to come.

The 14 Coolest Xbox Live Arcade Games That You Can Now Play on Xbox One.
Backward Compatibility for Xbox One is here, and the list of supported games is a pretty long one. Here’s a look at some of our favorite Xbox Live Arcade games, ranging from ‘90s classics to modern masterpieces. Whether you’re looking to race, shoot or survive an apocalypse, there’s something here for everyone.
Banjo-Kazooie : Developer Rare’s famous bear and bird first made their debut in 1998, and this classic platformer still holds up. The game is split into nine levels, where you must gather musical notes and jigsaw pieces (called “Jiggies”) to progress. Stars Banjo and Kazooie are occasionally aided by their friend Mumbo Jumbo – a shaman who can use magical powers to transform them into several creatures like termites, pumpkins, bees, walruses and crocodiles.
Beyond Good & Evil HD : An HD remake of one of the original Xbox’s sleeper masterpieces, Beyond Good & Evil HD has you playing as Jade, a young investigative reporter in the midst of exposing a government conspiracy. Joined by your loyal pig friend Pey’j, you set out in this action-adventure to save your planet and its inhabitants. It’s a brilliant, surreal example of games at their finest.
Castle Crashers : One of the games that started it all on Xbox Live, Castle Crashers is a side-scrolling 2D beat-‘em- up that has you battle your way across frozen tundras, deadly lava fields and rival kingdoms with up to three other players. There’s a nicely varied arsenal of combos and magical attacks to choose from, and the art from Dan Paladin is the stuff that 2D dreams are made of.
Doom : This is the first-person shooter that (along with Wolfenstein 3D ) started an FPS revolution! The plot is simple: You’re a Marine stationed on Mars when a military experiment goes horribly wrong… and your mission is to blast your way to freedom. You’ll go up against Hell’s army, which includes brutal cacodemons and undead Marines; fortunately, your arsenal of weapons includes the infamous BFG 9000, among others. Online deathmatch lets you battle your friends for dominance of the leaderboards, or team-up with a friend in co-op.
Earthworm Jim HD : Hold off on that de-worming for just a moment: Earthworm Jim is back, and this time he’s… still a worm. For the first time, this version of the game lets you grab friends and combine forces for four-player co-op, locally or online. Experience all of the original levels, zany gameplay and a remastered version of the cult classic soundtrack. You’ll get brand new enemies and locations to boot, making this one a no-brainer.
Ikaruga : This wild shooter is based on an elegantly executed concept: The enemies come in one of two polarities – black or white – and the player can flip their ship between either polarity at will. When the player ship is black, it may absorb black bullets, but it takes longer to shoot down black ships (and vice versa for white). The result is an intense, thumb-testing battle of brains and brawn – with five levels, cooperative multiplayer, leaderboards, achievements and the option to record and replay levels.
Metal Slug 3 : Metal Slug 3 comes to Xbox One in all of its 2D glory. A Japanese cartoon interpretation of classic American action movies like “Rambo” and “Commando,” Metal Slug 3 boasts some spectacularly detailed 2D pixel graphics, animation and pick-up-and-play arcade-style action. Lots of things will go boom, and you can team up with another player for some co-op blasting.
Monkey Island: Special Edition : Wannabe pirate Guybrush Threepwood stars in what is undoubtedly one of the finest point-and-click adventures ever devised. He’s on a quest to become the most infamous pirate in the Caribbean, and this remastered edition faithfully re-imagines the internationally acclaimed classic pirate adventure from LucasArts in gorgeous HD. With its new hand-drawn art style, a full voiceover by members of the original Monkey Island franchise cast, and a remastered musical score, you’ll be swashbuckling in your living room like never before.
N+ : From Toronto-based developer Metanet Software, N+ is truly the action-platformer deconstructed. With more than 400 levels, a custom level editor that lets you build your own challenges and share them with friends, leaderboards, achievements, the ability to upload your high score runs, and several distinctive flavors of multiplayer, N+ is a supreme test of your gaming precision and mettle.
Pac-Man: Championship Edition DX+ : Arguably the finest Pac-Man game ever conceived, Pac-Man Championship Edition DX+ builds upon the gameplay of Pac-Man Championship Edition . The foundation is the same as the original: Players control Pac-Man as he travels through a maze collecting dots and avoiding ghosts, which can be eaten by collecting power pellets. The game’s speed increases as the player acquires more points. The bright neon mazes and insane graphical effects make it feel like a Pac-Man rave and breathe new life into one of the all-time quarter-munching arcade classics.
Perfect Dark : A spiritual successor to the classic GoldenEye 007 , Perfect Dark is a spy thriller and action game rolled into one. You’ll uncover amazing gadgets and weapons as secret agent Joanna Dark, and everything in the game has a new coat of paint, thanks to this amazing remaster – not to mention multiplayer modes playable across the globe!
Plants vs. Zombies : Perhaps the most-played tower defense game ever created, Plants vs. Zombies turns you into a homeowner who must use a variety of different plants to prevent an army of zombies from entering your house and eating your brain for dinner.
R-Type Dimensions : Those looking for a side-scrolling space shooter fix need look no further. R-Type Dimensions includes coin-op classics R-Type and R-Type II together in one journey that has you piloting through all 14 alien-infested stages – in their original 2D form, or with all-new 3D graphics. Both Classic and Infinite modes can be played as single-player or multiplayer missions, either locally or online.
Super Meat Boy : Weak thumbs need not apply, as Super Meat Boy is as intense as platformers come. Taking the reins of an animated cube of meat, you’re trying to save your girlfriend (who is made of bandages) from an evil, tuxedo-clad fetus in a jar. Super Meat Boy brings the old-school challenge of classic retro titles we all know and love, and streamlines them down to straightforward twitch reflex platforming.
You can check all of these classics – and more – out now, via Xbox One Backward Compatibility!
First 13 Original Xbox Games Announced for Xbox One Compatibility.
Microsoft has revealed the first 13 backwards-compatible original Xbox games for Xbox One to IGN – several of which we got to play. These first 13 will be available tomorrow, October 24. All are enhanced with 1080p resolution, higher and/or smoother framerates, and faster loading times.
These are the first 13 games you can play on any Xbox One if you own the title, beginning tomorrow:
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Ninja Gaiden Black Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge Fuzion Frenzy Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Psychonauts Dead to Rights Black Grabbed by the Ghoulies Sid Meier’s Pirates! Red Faction II BloodRayne 2 The King of Fighters Neowave.
If you still have your original Xbox disc, just insert it into your Xbox One console. If you own it digitally, that will also work. Many of these games can also be purchased from the Xbox Store in digital form for $9.99.
Above: A comparison between Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic running on the original Xbox versus it running on an Xbox One.
For titles that support System Link multiplayer, it still works – even across the Xbox family.
For titles that support System Link multiplayer, it still works – even across the Xbox family. I got to play a four-player round of Crimson Skies, with me on the original Xbox, another person on an Xbox One X, another on an Xbox One S, and the fourth on a launch Xbox One. Online multiplayer is not supported, however, as servers for original Xbox games were shut down years ago.
I also got to play a bit of Star Wars: KOTOR, Ninja Gaiden Black, and Fuzion Frenzy. All three looked clearer and crisper than ever thanks to no longer being restricted to 480p (or for many at the time, 480i) resolution. Most still run in their original 4:3 aspect ratios, though Ninja Gaiden Black natively supports 16:9 widescreen so it looks particularly modern.
Above: A comparison between Fuzion Frenzy running on the original Xbox versus it running on an Xbox One.
“This detail has always been there, but the technology of the day was holding it back,” said Xbox principal software engineer Eric Heutchy as he pointed out the orange bill and black outline now clearly visible in 1080p on a duck icon in Fuzion Frenzy’s “Twisted System” minigame. "Forgive the clunky tutorial start," KOTOR lead designer James Ohlen told IGN with a laugh when asked what advice he'd have for players trying KOTOR for the first time. "It's definitely a product of his time."
As for what original Xbox games will be brought forward next, the team is being careful to keep expectations in check – though they have a good reason. “A curated list of key games was the way to go with this,” Xbox platform lead Bill Stillwell told IGN, noting that many original Xbox game publishers either don’t exist anymore, or the contracts are missing (because they were done on actual paper!), or there’s a licensing issue with a particular song, etc. As such, while it might be technically possible for Microsoft to make them compatible with Xbox One, it might be legally impossibly or unfeasible.
Above: Another comparison between Fuzion Frenzy running on the original Xbox versus it running on an Xbox One.
For much more on backwards compatibility, don’t miss the report on our day with the compatibility team at Microsoft to talk about why and how they did this, as well as the just-announced Xbox One X-specific enhancements for four high-profile Xbox 360 games.

The best Xbox One games 2018: 25 must-play titles.
All the best games for Microsoft's Xbox One.
Best Xbox One Games introduction.
It's a new year and you know what that means: new games on the Xbox One. However, while the new year is a time for looking forward, it's also a time for reflection and we think it's important to remember the greats that you can already play on Microsoft's console.
[ Update: Monster Hunter: World is our first 2018 title to make its way onto our must-play list.]
Sure, 2018 is going to bring some thrilling new titles to the Xbox family of consoles, from big exclusives like Sea of Thieves and Crackdown 3, to new games from big third-parties like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Anthem.
But we're trying to reign in our excitement and focus on the fantastic games that we can play in the here and now.
In the five years since its launch, we've seen some true greats come to the Xbox One. There are a diverse range of exclusive experiences available, whether you're looking for exciting indies like Cuphead and Ori and The Blind Forest, or high-octane AAA adventures such as Forza Motorsport 7.
And that's without even taking hugely successful third-party blockbusters like Assassin's Creed Origins and Overwatch into account.
With the release of the Xbox One X in 2017, we've seen the Xbox family grow and change but thanks to backwards compatibility, you don't have to miss out on anything. Yes, whether you're on original Xbox, the Xbox One S or you've just set up your sparkly new Xbox One X, you're more than able to experience the wonderful games we've picked out here.
As delightful as all these great games are, they do pose a problem: which ones are worth your time and money?
We understand the struggle, which is why we've put together this best-of list; whether you're looking for a high-octane adventure, a thrilling racing sim or razor sharp first-person shooter, you'll be able to find it on Xbox.
Check out the video below to see more on the Xbox One X.
Make sure you frequently check back here as we frequently update this list to make sure you never fall behind on the latest and greatest releases.
Forza Horizon 3.
Huge, exotic and amazing to behold: Australia is a petrol-head's dream.
While the original Forza titles were about pristine driving skills around perfectly kept tracks, the Horizon series has a penchant for trading paint and isn't afraid to have you get down and dirty with off-road races from time to time.
While the first two entries in Turn 10's spin-off franchise surprised and delighted, Forza Horizon 3 is the unabashed pinnacle of the series, and stands amid some of the greatest racing games ever made. Good news for Xbox One X owners – Forza Horizon 3 now has its 4K and HDR patch.
Gears of War 4.
The Gears keep on turning for this excellent third-person shooter franchise.
Despite a new platform, a new development team and a new-ish set of muscled heroes on its box art, Gears of War 4 isn't some grand reimagining of the series that helped Xbox 360 go supernova back in 2006. But then again, such a revelation shouldn't come as a shock – this is the cover shooter that made cover shooters a fad-filled genre all unto itself, so messing too drastically with that special sauce was never a viable option.
Instead, the Xbox One and Xbox One S get the Gears of War template we all know and love with a few extra features gently stirred into the pot. For a start, the jump to current-gen tech has made all the difference to The Coalition's first full-fat Gears title. Spend a little time in the previously remastered Gears of War: Ultimate Edition and you'll see how small and confined those original level designs were, even with a graphical upgrade to make it feel relevant again.
It's more than just graphics, though. It's the return to form for the franchise; the focus on what makes a Gears game so great, that really won us over.
Beautiful and frustrating in equal measure.
After a long development and lots of anticipation, Xbox indie exclusive Cuphead has finally been released. Was it worth the wait? It certainly was. Cuphead is a run-and-gun platformer with stationary boss fight levels thrown in.
With visuals and a soundtrack inspired by 1930s animation but gameplay inspired by the platformers of the 80s this game has had us torn since we first tried it at Gamescom. It's lovely to look at but its gameplay is challenging and you're going to find yourself frustrated and dying a lot.
We enjoyed Cuphead so much we named it Best Xbox Exclusive in our 2017 Game of the Year Awards.
Still, it's an indie experience that shouldn't be missed and you'll only find it on Xbox and PC.
Battlefield 1.
A refreshing jump back in time.
In the latest Battlefield game, DICE takes players back in time to World War One and by doing so completely rejuvenates the once stagnating franchise.
The game offers a poignant and entertaining single-player campaign that sets a new standard for first-person shooter. Broken into six sections, each following a different character and front line location, the campaign never feels dull or repetitive –and even feeds neatly into Battlefield 1's multiplayer mode which, while familiar, also benefits from the much-needed breath of life that the change in setting gives.
Graphically impressive, entertaining, and sometimes touching, Battlefield 1 is a return to form for the series.
Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition.
You'd have to be blind to miss this indie fantasy stunner.
A top-class graduate of the "Metroidvania" school of action-adventure design, in which an enormous world gradually opens up as you unlock new abilities, Ori is the kind of experience you show a reactionary relative who thinks "videogame art" is a contradiction in terms.
There's the world, to start with - a dreamlike maze of canted-over trunks, thorny caverns and sunlit glades – but it's not just a question of blissful visuals. Ori is a crisp, empowering platformer, with a main character who learns to scurry up surfaces and ricochet away from projectiles, like a spacecraft "sling-shotting" around a planet.
The Definitive Edition improves upon the original by adding new areas to explore and additional background on one of the game's most beloved characters.
Halo 5: Guardians.
Halo multiplayer at its best.
A franchise that has defined Xbox as a platform for a long time is Halo and Halo 5: Guardians is a worthy addition to the series. With both a single-player campaign and the usual thrilling multiplayer combat, this is the Halo game for Xbox One you don't want to miss.
Though its single-player campaign isn't the best in the franchise in terms of story, this is Halo multiplayer combat at its most fun and anyone that loves playing online with friends will enjoy what the various modes on offer.
The team-based shooter you need to buy on Xbox One.
Overwatch has, without a doubt, been one of our favorite games to come out of the last year – garnering our Game of the Year 2016 award.
It's a classic team arena shooter from Blizzard that sets two six-person teams of wildly different characters against each other in a bright and cartoonish science fiction universe. And while it feels similar to the Call of Duty you've played before, Overwatch turns traditional shooters on their heads by adding unique character abilities and cool-downs to the mix that force you to strategize every once in a while instead of blindly running from room to room.
Great graphics, tight maps, and a good roster of characters to enjoy playing. Overwatch is good old fashioned fun and we thoroughly recommend it.
Dark Souls 3.
Consult your doctor first to see if Dark Souls 3 is right for you.
Playing a Dark Souls game is a masochistic thing. The pain of losing to the same boss ten times in a row is crushing, but chasing the buzz of a victory makes it all worth it.
Dark Souls 3, the latest in the soul-crushing series, is back and more terrifying than ever. The graphics have been updated for the modern era, with stunning lighting effects, which illuminate all that is good, as well as what's better left unseen.
The gameplay is faster than previous Souls games, riffing off of BloodBorne's rapid pacing. Finally, the story and the online multiplayer come together to make this a game that you won't put down once you pick it up.
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.
A chilling return to form.
Your gaming collection isn't really complete if it doesn't have a quality horror title and if we had to suggest one it'd be the newest installment in the Resident Evil franchise.
Resident Evil is the franchise that put survival-horror games on the map and though it lost its way slightly in later titles, the newest game is a return to form for Capcom.
By going back to the survival-horror basics and getting them dead on, Capcom has made Resident Evil 7 a genuinely frightening and exhilarating gaming experience. If you have the stomach for the gore, it's absolutely worth playing.
Don't miss our full review of the game.
Titanfall 2.
They had the technology to rebuild him, better than before.
The original Titanfall was a great game – so great that it long held a place on this very list. However, its sequel, Titanfall 2, improves on it every conceivable way: the motion is more fluid, there are more distinct titans to choose from and, hold onto your hats here, there's actually a single-player campaign that might take the cake for the best first-person shooter story of the year.
This game's pedigree is inherited from one of this generation's smartest and most unusual shooters. The original Titanfall married ninja-fast on-foot combat to the gloriously thuggish thrill of piloting giant mechs, which are summoned from orbit a few minutes into each match.
The skill with which Respawn has balanced this mix of styles in the sequel is remarkable – Titans have firepower in excess but they're easy to hit, and maps offer plenty of places for infantry to hide. These ideas coalesce into one of this year's most remarkable entries in the genre and is well-deserving its own shot in the spotlight as well as a Game of the Year nomination.
A retro-slash-modern romp through the underworld.
DOOM is very, very good. Not in a “wow, that’s good for a remake” kind of way, either. It’s genuinely a great shooter – so much so that we gave it a Game of the Year award in 2016. While Overwatch reinventing the wheel for first-person shooting games, DOOM impresses us by bringing us back to the time where dial-up internet was the only way to access AOL email: DOOM is, in so many ways, an excellent evolution of what the series was 20 years ago. It’s brutal. It’s bloody. It has devilish, frightening creatures that bleed when you slice them in half with a chainsaw. It’s the experience we wanted two decades ago but couldn’t articulate it because of the limitations of technology.
Rise of the Tomb Raider.
The name of the game is freedom in Lara's latest sprawling outing.
Despite being the sequel to a prequel about the young life of the Lara Croft, this still feels like a Tomb Raider game that has grown up. The reboot which saw a brave new direction for the franchise seemed a lot of the time to be little more than a bit of light Uncharted cosplay, but Rise is a far more accomplished game.
There's now a genuine open world which feels like there is always something to do, and something more than just harvesting up collectibles in exchange for a light dusting of XP. There are also tombs. Yes, that might seem a fatuous thing to say given the name, but the previous game gave them short shrift. In Rise though they are deeper and more plentiful. Rise also has one of the best narratives of any Tomb Raider game, penned again by Rhianna Pratchett, it's sometimes rather poignant.
So come on, ditch Fallout 4's wasteland for a while and give Lara some love.
The homecoming we've waited seven years for.
All things considered, this is one of the best games Bethesda has made. It ticks all the boxes: a massive, detail-oriented open-world; still-fantastic tenets of looting and shooting; a story filled with intriguing side quests and subplots that feel like they matter; and of course a classic soundtrack that brings it all to life.
In many ways it's the game we've been waiting for since Fallout 3 steered the series away from its top-down role-playing roots. Not only is the world itself wider, but the plot is better, and more digestible, than any of the games before it. There's still a sense of mystery about what's happening but you no longer have to dig forever and a day through terminals to piece it together.
Welcome home, stranger.
Dragon Age: Inquisition.
"Our weapons are fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency and gigantic sidequests."
Inquisition is the proverbial RPG banquet - a 200-hour array of quests, magic-infused scraps, postcard landscapes and well-written character interactions that's perhaps a bit too familiar, at times, but makes up for it with sheer generosity.
It puts you in charge not just of a four-man party of adventurers but also a private army with its own castle and attendant strategic meta-game, tasked with defeating a mysterious demon menace.
The choice of Unreal Engine makes for vast open environments and sexily SFX-laden combat – fortunately, you can pause the latter to issue orders if the onslaught becomes overwhelming. It's a genre giant.
Monster Hunter: World.
Friends who slay together, stay together.
You've probably heard of the Monster Hunter franchise before now – it's a classic that's been going a long time. But we haven't seen it on console for a while. Until now. Monster Hunter: World is the franchise's debut on the latest generation of consoles and it's a true breath of fresh air.
Giving players the option to play solo or team up with up to three other friends, this game invites you into a living, breathing game world to hunt down some monsters. For research. And fun.
You'll face a learning curve with Monster Hunter: World and the dark-souls style of combat has the potential to frustrate, but this is the most accessible Monster Hunter game we've seen in years. If you've been looking for a chance to break into the series, this is it.
In our review we called the game "a bold and confident new chapter" and gave it a "play it now" recommendation. Thinking of becoming a Monster Hunter yourself? Make sure you check out our full survival guide .
Dishonored 2.
A smart, stealthy, steampunk adventure.
Following the surprise 2012 hit Dishonored wasn't going to be an easy task, but Dishonored 2 has more than lived up to its expectations.
Picking up 15 years after the events of the original, Dishonored 2 takes players back to the Victorian Steampunk city of Dunwall. This time, though, you have the choice of whether or not you want to play as the original title's protagonist Corvo, or his equally-skilled protegee Emily.
Dishonored 2 doesn't differ wildly from the first game, but there was nothing wrong with Dishonored in the first place. What we get is a vastly improved and close to perfected take on it.
Anyone who likes their games filled with atmosphere, character, and a bit of wit and intelligence will find Dishonored 2 worth picking up.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
Stories don't come bigger than this.
Geralt didn't have the smoothest of entries to consoles, but after some heavy patching and a lot of angry words about visual downgrades, we're left with an RPG boasting tremendous scope and storytelling.
Oh, and combat. And don't forget Gwent, the in-game card game. And there's the crafting to get stuck into. And the alchemy.
You're rarely short of things to entertain yourself with in The Witcher 3's quasi-open world, then, and all the better that you're in a universe that involves the supernatural without leaning on the same old Tolkien fantasy tropes. Invigorating stuff.
Still the best football sim money can buy.
FIFA is, for many console owners, a highly anticipated annual event. The latest and arguably greatest installment in the football sim series has arrived in the form of FIFA 18.
Whether you're looking to play against others online, build up a management career on your own or play a cinematic story mode that'll give you an insight into the dramatic life of a premier league footballer, FIFA has a game mode just for you.
The best thing is, there's always more than enough to throw yourself into and agonize over until the next game rolls around with further incremental improvements that'll convince you to upgrade.
You can read our full review of FIFA 18 right here and make sure you're the best on the pitch using our tips and tricks guide.
Out of this world online multiplayer.
Taking the place of the original Destiny on this list is, of course, its sequel Destiny 2. With its original game, Bungie managed to create a huge triple-A success as well as a cult hit.
Now, however, it's opening up to the masses and anyone that felt like they couldn't jump on the Destiny band wagon the first time shouldn't miss the opportunity to do so now.
This huge online multiplayer shooter will reel you in with its universe, single-player story, satisfying gameplay and addictive online modes. In our full Destiny 2 review , we call Destiny 2 "the Destiny you know, and the Halo you used to love, all in one loot-filled package."
If you're just getting started, it's also worth taking a peek at our handy tips and tricks guide which will allow you to hit the ground running.
Grand Theft Auto V.
There's no fear and loathing in Los Santos – just explosive entertainment.
Yes, including one of last generation's greatest games among this generation's finest is rather boring, but GTA V on Xbox One is too good to ignore, with HD visuals, a longer draw distance and a faster frame-rate.
Among other, more practical perks it includes a first-person mode, which genuinely makes this feel like a different game, though the missions, tools and characters are the same. The new perspective pushes Rockstar's attention to detail to the fore, allowing you to better appreciate the landscape's abundance of in-jokes and ambient details.
GTA V's open world multiplayer remains a laidback thrill, whether you're stuntdiving with friends or teaming up to complete a Heist (a long overdue addition to MP, but worth the wait) – it's probably the best place to hang out on Xbox Live.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
How many Snakes does it take to change a lightbulb?
Okay, so Hideo Kojima's last game for Konami - and his last ever Metal Gear game - might be a little tough for the MGS n00b to get to grips with, but it's still one of the best stealth-action games ever crafted. The open-world shenanigans will satisfy all your behind-enemy-lines / Rambo fantasies and probably confuse you with crazy plot twists and a million characters all with the same gravel-toned voices.
But hey, that's all part of its charm, right?
Assassin's Creed Origins.
Making the old feel new again.
After a year away, Assassin's Creed is back and it's bigger and better than ever. In Assassin's Creed Origins you go back to ancient Egypt, before the brotherhood and before the Templars, where you play as the original assassin Bayek.
Assassin's Creed is a series that was growing increasingly stale but with Origins the formula has been refreshed with new RPG mechanics, story-driven side quests and a far more free-flowing combat system.
Whether you're new to the series or a fatiguing fan, Assassin's Creed Origins is absolutely worth playing as it's the strongest installment we've seen in years.
Middle-earth: Shadow of War.
Bold, brilliant and brutal.
Middle-earth: Shadow of War is the sequel to the accomplished Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and builds upon all of its strengths.
Taking up the role of Talion once more, this game takes you back to a beautifully realized world that's bursting with originality. If you were a fan of the original game, we highly recommend that you pick of Shadow of War as it's an improvement in almost every way.
Rocket League.
Looking for a game that you can dip into between those long-winded RPGs? Take a gander at the online extravaganza that is Rocket League.
Cars essentially playing football shouldn't really work but thanks to Rocket League's outstanding mechanics and physics system it really does. You play with and against others online in matches of varying numbers and though each match only last 5 minutes so it should be easy to break away.
Invariably, though, you'll find yourself hours later murmuring about winning "just one more". Rocket League has been available for a while now and as a result it's built up a dedicated and skilled community. Prepare yourself for a challenge.
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.
Looking for an incredible single-player shooter? Look no further than the 2017 wonder that was Wolfenstein II. Picking up from where the original game left off, this game is a timely social commentary and a superbly silly adventure all rolled into one well-written package.
With tight mechanics and a story worth caring about this is one of the most satisfying first-person shooters we've played in a long time. In our full review we called it "expertly crafted" and recommended that you play it now.
