10 best video games for the Xbox Series X

vfhnb12 // Shutterstock Since its release in November 2020, the Xbox Series X and its more affordable companion, Xbox S, have made a strong case for being among the best game consoles ever invented. Building on the Xbox legacy, the systems have a reputation for pristine gameplay and crystalline graphics. Both consoles have also been designed to reduce loading time and render games into a consistent 4K resolution, even though the Xbox Series S sometimes plays games at lower graphical quality than the Series X. Microsoft has neglected to release hardware sale data throughout this generation of consoles. However, Xbox head Phil Spencer told the New York Times in January 2022 that the Series X and S have sold more consoles than “any previous version of Xboxes.” That would place the pair of consoles at over 12 million sales through 2021, according to estimates. With that in mind, Stacker compiled this list of the 10 best video games on the Xbox Series X using data from Metacritic. Games were first ranked based on their Metascore (out of 100), which is aggregated from critic reviews. Any ties were broken based on Metacritic’s user score (out of 10).
