More and more Xbox Series X games and exclusives are unveiled as we get closer to the console’s launch on November 10, 2020. Here’s the full list of all the games announced so far.
The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are the two ninth-generation consoles from Microsoft. Expected on November 10, 2020, the Xbox Series X promises to be the most powerful gaming console on the market, alongside the PS5. New games for the next-gen console have been brewing for several months and keep coming in, giving us a clearer idea of the quality and quantity of titles to come. In order to find you there, we have put together a complete table summarizing all the games expected on Xbox Series X.
You can also find our list of PS4 and Xbox One games that will be available in an optimized version and free on PS5 and Xbox Series X / S as well as the list of games available on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Microsoft’s cloud gaming.
The complete list of games expected on Xbox Series X / S
Many games are expected on Xbox Series X. At launch, we know that the console will have a handful of new games, including Ubisoft’s next open-world, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, as well as the action-RPG game, PC and Xbox exclusive, The Ascent. Some new games already announced for Xbox Series X will arrive by the holiday season, others later in 2021, such as Halo Infinite. Microsoft has also announced that it will not be postponed a second time.
Also scheduled for the release of Xbox Series X (in Smart Delivery) Destiny 2, DiRT 5, Fortnite, Gears 5, Gears Tactics, Grounded (still in early access), Rainbow Six Siege, Scorn, Haven, Tell Me Why as well than Yakuza: Like a Dragon, already available in Japan and on PS4. While more games will likely arrive at the same time as the console, most of them do not yet have a specific release date.
Expected on November 19 on PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Google Stadia, Cyberpunk 2077 will also be released on Xbox Series X, in an optimized version and through Microsoft’s Smart Delivery feature. Its release date (on Xbox Series X) is not yet known, however.
Here is the full list of games expected on Xbox Series X, with the following information: the name of the game, whether it will be exclusive or not, the name of the studio or publisher and the release date. Titles with the TBA (To Be Announced) mention do not yet have a release date.
