[Shadow of War on Xbox One X] will be the prettiest possible version of the game [among consoles]. We have some dev kits which also load a lot faster. While in development it’s extra nice to load a giant world in a matter of seconds so we can iterate faster. But it will also have faster loading times for players.” – Bob Roberts, Middle-earth: Shadow of War Design Director, as quoted in GamesRadar+ “The experience of the game is the same across all of the different platforms. We try to make sure the game shines on every platform the best it can. Having said that, the Xbox One X version is absolutely the most beautiful version.” – Ashraf Ismail, Assassin’s Creed Origins Game Director, as quoted in WeWriteThings. “Bringing a PC game to Xbox, Microsoft makes it really easy…So it really just comes down to making the gameplay good. And especially on Xbox One X, two hours after we got the dev kit it was running at 4K, 60fps. That thing is very powerful. It was that easy. I think we were expecting it to take a little longer than that, but no, it was a cinch.” – Jonathan Rogers, Path of Exile Lead Programmer, as quoted in GamesRadar+ Xbox One X joins the Xbox One family of devices this holiday alongside Xbox One S and the recently-announced Forza Horizon 3 Hot Wheels bundle, Minecraft Limited Edition bundle, Shadow of War bundle and Madden NFL 18 bundle – all also available for purchase or pre-order now.

E3 2017: Every Xbox One X-Enhanced Game At The Show. Here's a list of all the games confirmed to have Xbox One X / Scorpio support at E3. Last updated by Oscar Dayus on June 12, 2017 at 9:20AM. Please enter your date of birth to view this video. By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's. You are now subscribed. At its press briefing, Microsoft revealed its Xbox One X Enhanced program, which aims to update existing games with support for the new console. Here, we're gathering together a list of all the games confirmed at E3 to get Xbox One X 4K support; we will continue to update this story as more titles are revealed during the conference. For more, you can also check out our list of all the games confirmed for E3 2017, or take a look at our wrap-up of all the Microsoft Xbox E3 press conference news. GamesRadar+ 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. This year starts gently with the arrival of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, a supernatural murder mystery. It's good, but not 'best Xbox One games' good. It's mean the two most recent additions to our best Xbox One games list are Assassin's Creed Origins and Wolfenstein 2. If you're looking for something new to play and still haven't checked those out, maybe give them a look. They're both great games with plenty to offer, and Enhanced for Xbox One X. If you have a 4K TV and an X, then those are two of the best 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 Feb 27, along with this little selection over the next couple of months. Feb 13 - Kingdom Come: Deliverance. 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. Some online stores give us a small cut if you buy something through one of our links.

If Nintendo's Switch doesn't tickle your fancy, it's currently a two-way decision between PS4 vs Xbox One. Each console has particular strengths and weaknesses that go deeper than which games are exclusive to each system (though games are certainly a huge factor), and deciding how to spend your hard-earned money can be a daunting task. Check out our best Cyber Monday PS4 deals or best Cyber Monday Xbox One deals to see the best prices for each console. To make your decision easier, we've broken down the most important aspects of competition between the two and declared a definitive winner. We'll take a look at the games, prices and bundles, the new PS4 Slim and Xbox One S models, the upcoming mid-generation upgrades, online services, controller quality, and more. You can't go wrong with either console, but if you really want to know which machine stands above the other, we have the full break down right here. Games are, for most people, the reason you buy a console, and will make their choice based on which machine boasts the superior software lineup. Xbox One has close to 900 games available to buy. The console's biggest hitters include Halo 5: Guardians, Forza Horizon 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Sunset Overdrive and Quantum Break. Microsoft is still aggressively pursuing timed-console exclusives (like Dead Rising 4), plus upcoming Xbox One games include Mass Effect: Andromeda and Final Fantasy XV. The Phil Spencer era continues to see the Redmond giant going big on first-party killer app contenders - we're finally getting a new Crackdown and Sea Of Thieves looks huge fun. Microsoft also deserves credit for its strides with backwards compatibility; a huge range of Xbox 360 titles can be played on the Xbox One; here's a list of the backwards compatible games. PlayStation 4's catalog clocks in at well over 1100 games. While Sony hasn't released as many exclusives as some fans would like, a library that includes Uncharted 4, Bloodborne, Ratchet & Clank, DriveClub, Until Dawn, and No Man's Sky is still pretty damn strong. Looking ahead, The Last Guardian, God of War, and Horizon Zero Dawn should ensure PS4's first-party lineup gets even more alluring. Sadly, things aren't as bright with backwards compatibility - you can only play PS3 games on PS4 through Sony's (fairly expensive) PlayStation Now streaming service. Winner: PlayStation 4. While Xbox One pulls ahead in terms of high-profile exclusives, PS4 has a superior variety of games - most of which run better on Sony's console - whether it's AAA blockbusters or offbeat indies. Everyone loves a bargain, but the key battleground here is value – which console is most closely aligned with your needs? Winner: Xbox One. Both consoles boast similarly priced bundles with their new slim models, but the Xbox One S offers better value when you you consider its 4K Blu-Ray player. Xbox One controllers are also a bit cheaper than the PS4's for the Player 2 in your life, and the Elite controller is probably the best you can get your hands on. That said, the PS4 Pro offers a serious power upgrade for $100 more. Subscription Perks. Why is it important? Controllers. Controllers are your primary interaction with the console, so precision and comfort is at a premium. Xbox One's basic controller retails for about $50 and its design is both comfortable and ergonomic. It has an upgraded d-pad that's (thankfully) superior to the Xbox 360's, and the joysticks have great grip. Additionally, the integrated battery pack keeps the back from bulging out like the 360's did, and the rumbling triggers are fun (if not essential). However, the pad's L1 and R1 bumpers feel cheap and overly clicky. This keeps the Xbox One's controller from being the full upgrade it could have been, but if you're willing to spend a larger chunk of change you can pick up the Xbox One Elite controller. It makes vast improvements over the standard controller - it has a premium build set of interchangeable sticks and triggers - but it will set you back $150. PlayStation 4's DualShock 4 is a massive improvement over its predecessor in almost every way, with a fantastic d-pad, satisfying buttons, much better sticks, and a headphone plug-in jack. That said, the clickable touchpad remains largely under utilised, while the option and share buttons are somewhat difficult to press. It's also a bit pricer than the Xbox One's controller, around $60. To accompany the PS4 Slim, Sony has also released a slightly updated DualShock 4, which now has a small LED strip on the touchpad that emits the same colour as the light bar. It's a minor, somewhat unnecessary change when you consider the rubber on the DualShock 4's sticks still have a nasty habit of wearing away. Winner: PlayStation 4. This is easily the most subjective category, but the DualShock 4 is a colossal upgrade on its predecessor. Of course, the Xbox One pad is a mighty fine controller in its own right, but perhaps Microsoft played it a little too safe with the design. It's worth noting that the Xbox One Elite controller is on another level to either console's standard pad – but you pay for it. Slim Versions: Xbox One S and PS4 Slim. Making a console purchase is now more complicated than ever. If you're new to the market, do you opt for a cheaper, older, version of a console – or the new, slightly pricier, slim model? VR and AR support. Let's be frank, for many people, the drive to create new experiences in virtual reality and augmented reality aren't that important, but don't be fooled – this is unlikely to be a fleeting experiment, like 3D or Kinect, but here to stay. Broadcasting, Sharing and Streaming. Budding streamers and YouTubers will appreciate the nuances of each console's broadcasting abilities and sharing services, more casual gamers will just appreciate the ability to capture cool moments and share them with friends on social media. Upgraded consoles: PS4 Pro and Xbox Scorpio. Do you wait for the upgraded version of either console to launch before making a choice – and if you commit today, which upgraded console is most likely to leave your current console obsolete? The traditional lines between console generations are being blurred, with Microsoft talking about 'leaving no one behind'. Either way: which upgrade will be most powerful? Closing arguments: Xbox One. The Xbox Live service is superb, providing subscribers with monthly free games, reliable connectivity and updates, and, with the new user interface, an easily accessible online Store. The updated interface vastly improves the speed of navigating the Xbox One Dashboard. Creating Xbox Live Parties with friends has been streamlined, making the process much faster from a processing and user input standpoint. The increase in speed also goes for Snapping achievements in game, sending messages, and engaging with various game communities. Under Xbox boss Phil Spencer, the One is rapidly acquiring a killer lineup of first-party hits. The company is also changing how we view the Xbox platform with Xbox Play Anywhere. It's an initiative that lets you play Microsoft-published games - such as Gears Of War 4 and Forza Horizon 3 - on Xbox One and a Windows 10-powered PC with full cross-save compatibility providing you buy the digital version of the game. It merges the console and PC spaces together more closely than ever. You can use up to two external hard drives for extra storage, but they have to be 256GB or larger and support USB 3.0. Once formatted, they can hold games, apps, DLC, or whatever else is filling up your Xbox One. Cable TV boxes can also be hooked straight into your Xbox One, so you don't have to switch inputs when you want to watch TV, and can even use Kinect to change channels, though these features don't feel as big of a deal as Microsoft made them out to be at launch. Finally, the console has a fine controller, while the new Xbox One S provides a sleek redesign that also acts as the best value 4K media device on the market. Closing arguments: PlayStation 4. The PS4 can hook up with all kinds of devices. Android and iOS tablets can run the PlayStation app for basic interaction with the console, while select Sony smartphones can even remote play games. And using the PS Vita to remote play Destiny in bed is a dream. You can view global completion rates for individual trophies on PS4. Its a nice bragging right to perform an "Ultra Rare" feat that only 0.10% of players have accomplished. Spotify is fully integrated on PS4, letting you enjoy your favorite playlists while you play. You can even use your smartphone or tablet to fiddle with the music without interrupting your game. More than anything though, the PS4 is the 'anti-PS3' in all the ways that count. Thanks to a newfound humbleness Sony has made a brilliantly versatile machine. The pad's great, it's easy to develop for, its indie scene is vibrant, and sharing awesome experiences with friends is a doddle. Sony done good. The Winner: PlayStation 4 (for now) The PlayStation 4 is absolutely nailing that ideal triumvirate of great games, robust online features, and slick hardware design. For most of this generation it's had all the goodwill and momentum, and that doesn't seem to be slowing down. But the Xbox One is not far behind, especially with the introduction of the sleeker Scorpio model. There's a lot to love in both boxes, and this console war isn't going to be wrapping up any time soon. But at the end of the day, one factor should rise above all else: the games. If there's a particular game that you really want to play that's only available on one console or another, let that be your guiding light when making a purchase. You won't be disappointed with either console, so get out there and play the games you love. Recommended. 8 things to watch out for this week. Who are the GamesRadar+ team?

I haven't played any of these. Apr 5, 2016 11:20PM. Why PS4/XO have different multy platform games in list? Like PS4 have Gone Home(87) in 2016 list and XO did not. Why so? game is identical on both platforms. Same for LMB and Life is Strange. and and so on. Jan 15, 2016 2:34AM. so, only 5 out of 25 of "all-time hits" are not available at ps4. Jul 8, 2015 11:29PM. There are 71 critics for Ori and the blind Forest and only 12 and 11 for Dark Souls and The Witcher. . So Ori should be Number 1 - because its much harder to get that metascore with 71 critics. Nov 2, 2014 8:45PM. Terrible list. Minecraft is fun don't get me wrong. But it doesn't belong anywhere near most of these games for next gen. Either does NBA 2k. Same content with new skin. Apr 2, 2014 4:32AM. Curious about some rather obvious multi platform games missing from the list. Where's Battlefield 4, Rayman Legends, Lego Marvel etc? They made the PS4 list. Even Assassins Creed 4, seems the XO list has the freedom cry DLC and not the actual game? Seems a bit pointless compiling these lists if it misses half the AAA titles.. Mar 25, 2014 4:28PM. So XBOX One sucks? I look at PS4 list, and it's almost all green. XBOX One's is half yellow? You'll be able to play (and make) unfinished games on Xbox One this summer. Microsoft will stop deciding which games are good enough for the Xbox store. Even wacky, unfinished, "early access"-style games will appear there. The Xbox One S, the newer, slimmer version of Microsoft's console. The Xbox One isn't exactly an open game platform. Every game you see was vetted by Microsoft. Developers had to jump through hoops. That means quality, but not necessarily quantity -- and it meant two kids off the street with the next great game idea probably wouldn't launch it on Xbox. It wasn't supposed to be this way. In 2013, then-Xbox chief Marc Whitten promised that anyone would be able to publish a game to the Xbox One all by themselves. That never happened. The Xbox Evolution. But nearly four years later, Microsoft is taking a big step in that direction. This summer, Microsoft will no longer pick and choose which games are good enough to make it to the Xbox store -- even wacky, unfinished, "early access"-style games will be allowed to appear there. "We're hoping through a program like this that we can discover the next Rocket League," Bryan Saftler, a senior marketing manager on Xbox Live, tells CNET. The program he's referring to is the Xbox Live Creators Program, announced at the 2017 Game Developers Conference this week. While the program was introduced without many key details, we spoke to Saftler and his colleague Mahraan Qadir to get the big picture. While it doesn't sound like carte blanche for developers to publish any game they can dream up, it could still lead to an influx of new game titles. While Microsoft hasn't released Xbox One sales numbers in years, it seems likely that Xbox could use some help. Estimates suggest the rival Sony PlayStation 4 console has outsold it 2-to-1, and the PlayStation has arguably been more successful in courting exclusive game titles. (Just compare these lists of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One exclusives for 2017.) Some of the hottest new games are coming from indie developers, so attracting more indies could be key. But how much easier will it be for indies to try Xbox development now? First, let's get the limitations out of the way: No multiplayer games. This is the big one. Even if a game developer wants to use its own third-party servers and matchmaking, online multiplayer isn't allowed. That's going to make it hard to find the next Rocket League. Games won't have access to the full power of the Xbox . "It's going to be running in the system space of the console," says Qadir, meaning the portion of the Xbox's resources typically devoted to running apps like Netflix, not big beefy game titles. No achievements . You won't be grinding through Creators Program titles to boost your Gamerscore. Only UWP games . Devs have to make titles with Microsoft's Universal Windows Platform (UWP) tools, so don't expect existing Windows games to instantly port over. (Unless they already exist in the Windows 10 Store.) No marketing support, and no promises that good games won't get buried . Like Google and Apple with their app stores, Microsoft will still play favorites. Creators Program titles won't necessarily get the same sort of placement as ID@Xbox titles or traditional games from big developers. Plus, Saftler and Qadir say they're not yet sure how users will be able to sift through the titles on offer. There's still an approval process . Games won't get published as soon as devs pull the trigger. But Microsoft says the process is just the standard Windows Store process to weed out inappropriate content and clones, and that it'll take "hours, not days" to get approval. Devs won't all get into the program all at once. Right now, Microsoft is limiting access so they don't get overloaded. They say that'll change once the SDK is broadly available. Windows ports will need to support the Xbox controller. The Xbox One still doesn't support mouse and keyboard. Games need to integrate Xbox Live sign-in. Because that's how Xbox games work. Now for the good parts: Microsoft won't reject any game unless it breaks store policy. The big one. Games will appear in the Xbox Store. "We don't want to treat them separately, they're first-class citizens as well," Saftler says. Developers can set their own prices. "Game developers will have full control over all pricing on their games, and that includes sales," Qadir says. You might find these Xbox games in the Windows Store too. It's up to developers -- but any Xbox game they build can automatically appear on Windows as well if they so desire. Games will automatically carry over to the next Xbox too. Project Scorpio is a go. Players can save their games in the cloud, and see which friends are playing. Most Xbox Live features will be available for these titles. Devs only need to pay a single $20 fee to get started. Not per game, either: just $20 (roughly converting to £15 and AU$25) to register for a Microsoft developer account, and then you're golden. Devs can build and test their games on an Xbox One itself . Retail Xbox One consoles can become dev kits now. Devs can still apply for ID@Xbox to avoid some of the limitations above. If they build a direct relationship with Microsoft through the ID@Xbox program, they can make multiplayer games and get access to the full power of the console. Devs can immediately submit Windows games that already have Xbox Live sign-in as soon as the program begins. Qadir and Saftler imagine there'll be quite a few new games available on Xbox after the preview program ends, and these new Creators Program titles are released. And while Xbox still won't be as open as, say, Steam after that happens -- particularly with Steam Direct -- it's going to be very interesting to see how the gaming community reacts to struggling indie developers who submit unfinished, early-access style, pay-as-we-continue-to-develop game titles. Microsoft already had an early access program of sorts, but tame. It's time to see developers go wild.
