The disastrous Xbox One announcement is a day gamers will never forget, and not for good reasons.
Xbox slowly abandoned the course and, in the process, helped the Xbox One become about games rather than restrictive DRM. A lot of quality titles are on the Xbox One, and most of them are inexpensive. Combined with Game Pass, the Xbox One is still a great system today.
Here are ten of the best games you should play on your Xbox One ASAP.
Titanfall 2
Titanfall 2 is the kind of FPS that makes you wonder why every shooter doesn’t feel this good.
The buttery smooth movement lets you wall-run, slide, and grapple your way through levels like a cybernetic ninja. The campaign? An absolute banger, filled with creative level design and an emotional connection with your Titan, BT-7274. And multiplayer? Fast, chaotic, and endlessly satisfying—once you get the hang of it, every other shooter feels like it’s stuck in molasses.
Monster Hunter: World
There’s something primal about tracking down a massive beast, learning its attack patterns, and finally taking it down in a perfectly executed hunt. Harvesting parts of the monsters to make great looking armor is essential. Monster Hunter: World makes every fight feel like a miniature boss battle, rewarding patience, skill, and a little bit of reckless bravery.
The world is breathtaking and teeming with life, and each hunt feels like a trip through a dynamic ecosystem. Whether you’re rolling solo or with friends, the grind for better gear never feels like a chore; it feels like a hunt.
A Way Out
A Way Out isn’t just a game; it’s an experience that demands you and a friend work together to escape prison. The story of Leo and Vincent is packed with twists, heartfelt moments, and some genuinely clever co-op mechanics that keep you both engaged from start to finish.
What makes it special is how it forces teamwork, with split-screen perspectives constantly shifting to give you both unique roles in every situation. And that ending? Let’s just say it hits hard.
It’s one of those moments you and your co-op partner will discuss for years.

Devil May Cry 5
If you’ve ever wanted to feel like an absolute god while comboing demons into oblivion, Devil May Cry 5 delivers that fantasy on a silver platter.
The combat is deep, stylish, and completely over-the-top, rewarding creativity and precision in equal measure. Each character—Dante, Nero, and V—feels distinct, giving you three wildly different ways to slice, shoot, and summon your way through hordes of enemies. With Capcom’s RE Engine making everything look incredible, it’s one of the best action games of its generation.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection
Without Halo, there is no Xbox. This isn’t just a collection; it’s a love letter to one of gaming’s greatest franchises.
Every game, from Combat Evolved to Halo 4, has been polished and enhanced, making it the best way to experience Master Chief’s legendary saga. Multiplayer is an all-you-can-eat buffet of classic maps and modes, letting you relive the golden days of Xbox Live or discover them for the first time.
If you grew up with Halo, this is nostalgia done right; if you didn’t, welcome to one of the best FPS series ever made.
Gears 5
Gears 5 doesn’t just carry the torch for the series—it ignites it with new life.
The story dives deeper into Kait Diaz’s journey, bringing an emotional weight that previous entries never quite explored. The gunplay still hits like a truck, with chunky, satisfying combat and some of the best-feeling weapons in any shooter. And let’s not forget the multiplayer. Escape mode adds a thrilling, high-stakes challenge, while Horde mode is still the ultimate test of teamwork and survival. The campaign and multiplayer are some of the best outside the first and third games.
This is a must-play game in the library.
Cuphead
Cuphead is proof that video games can be both works of art and merciless tests of skill.
The old-timey cartoon aesthetic is so flawlessly executed that it feels like you’re playing an interactive animated short from long ago. But don’t let the charming visuals fool you; this game will chew you up and spit you out with its brutal, pattern-based boss fights. The sense of triumph when you finally take down a boss that’s been kicking your teeth in for hours? Pure euphoria.
Final Fantasy XV
Final Fantasy XV is a road trip with the boys that turns into something far more emotional and epic than you ever expected.
The open world is vast and gorgeous, filled with hidden surprises, towering monsters, and some of the best real-time combat in the series. The bond between Noctis and his friends feels genuine, making their journey one of the most heartfelt in modern RPGs. And the soundtrack? Absolute magic—Yoko Shimomura’s compositions make every moment feel grand and cinematic.
Yakuza: Like A Dragon
Yakuza: Like A Dragon rips up the franchise’s playbook and starts fresh: New main character and new combat system.
Ichiban Kasuga is the perfect underdog protagonist—equal parts goofy, tough, and full of heart, making his journey through the criminal underworld impossible not to love. The switch to turn-based combat is a bold move that pays off, blending RPG mechanics with the series’ signature absurdity.
One moment, you’re fighting yakuza in an emotional, high-stakes battle—the next, you’re drop-kicking a grown man pretending to be a worm in a sleeping bag.
Killer Instinct (2013)
Fighting games live or die by how good they feel, and Killer Instinct feels incredible. Every punch, kick, and combo string has a satisfying weight to it, making each match an adrenaline rush. The character roster is diverse and ridiculously fun, ranging from classic brawlers to guest fighters like Rash from Battletoads.
The music that Mick Gordon made is incredible. And with one of the best online netcodes out there, you can test your skills against players worldwide without lag ruining the experience. We are still waiting on that sequel, Mr. Xbox CEO.
