Not sure which games to buy for Xbox One? Go through our list of the best projects for this platform. If even half of these games are missing from your Xbox One library, you're missing out.
Our selection of games for Xbox One was recently expanded with Far Cry 5 and A Way Out, which impressed us with a vast open world and rich co-op gameplay, respectively. Sea of Thieves was also asking for this, but the game did not have enough depth to take one of the places in the selection - nevertheless, this is a rather fun project that deserves your attention. We will continue to monitor upcoming games and add to the list of the best titles for Xbox One.
This list is adorned with great Xbox One titles, ranging from classic titles like Forza Motorsport 7 and Gears of War 4 to many others like The Witcher 3 and Assassin's Creed Origins, which are among the most significant releases for Xbox One X. There are many truly outstanding games in every genre.
So let's take a look at the best Xbox One games. This is a relatively small selection, consisting of 25 items, which included only the unconditional favorites of their genres. And the competition among them is really tough.
Dropped off the main list
If we were told that 96% of accidents in Australia are due to the fact that drivers admire the scenery, forgetting to watch the road, we would believe it without question. All you have to do is play Forza Horizon 3, a game that will show you what your Xbox One is capable of. This is an incredibly beautiful racing simulator with carefully recreated car models and dynamic races on the roads of Australia, which will impress both avid racers and lovers of photorealistic graphics. This is definitely the best part of the Forza series and almost all time.
The brand is not strongly associated with the console from Microsoft, but this does not negate the fact that Final Fantasy 15 turned out to be one of the best RPGs of the year. It combines a vast open world, created by all the standards of Western RPGs, and the standard Final Fantasy anime atmosphere, in some places brought to healthy absurdity. This mixture works great, thanks to which we have a rich world full of ferocious monsters, huge magic crystals and powerful magic.
At times, Final Fantasy 15 feels like a jumble of ideas, but all the elements that are presented (a strange world, exciting real-time combat, and lovable characters that accompany you throughout the adventure) add up to something incredible. This is perhaps the best Final Fantasy game in many years; This game fully justifies the expectations placed on it.
After numerous transfers, Cuphead finally came out and instantly became one of the best games for Xbox One - it will definitely appeal to all fans of shooters (you can find out more about it in our review). Visually, the game adheres to the cartoon style of the 1930s (in particular, the Betty Boop shorts and the Silly Symphonies series from Disney), while the gameplay was clearly inspired by projects such as Mega Man, Contra, Metal Slug and Gunstar Heroes.
The levels here are not particularly long, but the whole point lies in the complexity of the game, which requires you to be attentive and able to remember the sequence of actions of opponents. Each boss is a real test of strength, and the pleasure of defeating them is simply beyond words.
*leave all your complaints in the comments
Yes, we are well aware of all the problems of this collection, but it would be unreasonable to deny the skill of its creators. The genius of Bungie and the love of Studio 343 rolled into one - this is the shortest way to describe this significant set for the whole industry.
A polished and updated collection of iconic titles, the Master Chief Collection makes you wonder if Halo has always looked this good. And you know what? At the time of its release, each part looked as worthy as this entire collection today.
The first minutes of a match in Rainbow Six: Siege are more like some kind of slasher than a brave first-person shooter. From the roof comes the clatter, which does not bode well. People who have settled in the house quickly make traps and barriers, like the hero of the movie "Home Alone". Enemies begin to ram the door, causing panic. This tension is typical of most horror games.
But once you're head-to-head with the opposing team, the game throws you into the midst of a gritty and unforgiving war scene where deep strategy comes first. Fine-tune your tactics and win in short but action-packed rounds in one of the most addictive multiplayer shooters on Xbox One.
The Halo series is known for its balance between campaign and multiplayer, but in this part, the developers focused on the multiplayer component. The story of Locke the Soldier chasing the Chief isn't as epic as we'd like, but we're excited for the most colorful multiplayer experience in the entire franchise. Halo 5: Guardians invites us to plunge into the exciting world of online battles. The good old arena, which returned to Halo, is a classic shooting ground, made according to all the canons of the genre.
If you're looking for something a little more inventive, the Warzone mode is for you, where you can expect massive battles based on a card collection system. What's more, just recently, 343 Studios announced that the new Big Team Fights mode and an updated version of Blood Gulch will be available for free. Welcome home.
Imagine a beautiful and elegant book of fairy tales... that slams shut again and again, leaving bruises and bleeding wounds on your fingers. This is Ori and the Blind Forest, a Microsoft game created by a group of retro enthusiasts who were given a decent budget (and freedom) to develop a worthy successor to classic platform games.
The game is not only a great example of how you can bring the recognizable mechanics of Metroid and Castlevania to modern conditions, combining it with a touching story, but it is also deservedly considered the most beautiful 2D game of all time. Therefore, passing by this masterpiece is highly discouraged.
Shadow of War, with its rich world and carefully crafted mechanics, is the perfect sequel - the combat is more dynamic, the environment is more detailed, and all the elements interact perfectly with each other. In addition, this is one of the most beautiful games for Xbox One X. It is worth noting the impressive scale of the project. It will take you about 15 hours to complete the prologue alone; 25 - to open the entire map, so do not think that a couple of evenings will be enough for you to complete.
The iconic Nemesis system for the series has also been improved, which now includes entire storylines dedicated to battles with orcs - the development of these heroes depends on whether they won the battle with you or not. The game also introduced castles that can be captured and the ability to create your own armies. Even if you love The Lord of the Rings, the local open world will not leave you indifferent.
FIFA 18 has introduced a number of innovations to the already established formula: for example, shots from a long distance can now be more effective, and the soccer ball itself spins in the air in much the same way as in real life. The AI of opponents has also improved, and each player has acquired his own unique style of play, which must be taken into account when drawing up team tactics.
The single-player mode has also remained in place, where we have to get used to the role of the chosen player and which at times includes matches from the regular campaign. The latter, by the way, allowed FIFA 18 to bypass PES this year, because it includes the largest number of sports leagues among all football simulators. And finally, the FIFA Ultimate Team mode has been improved, which can now be completed without investing real money
Wolfenstein: The New Order is one of the most brutal, fun and smart shooters of our generation. The sequel from MachineGames, called The New Colossus, confidently multiplies all the achievements of its predecessor by two. The touching story of BJ Blaskowitz is set in the 60s in an alternate universe where America was conquered by the Nazis.
Before us is a rather bold statement on the topic of prejudice, cruelty and insensitivity, which is not complete without quite appropriate humor. This is a game that makes you think, and, importantly, gives you plenty of shooting at crowds of Nazis, without being embarrassed by especially bloody scenes.
After the announcement of Battlefield 1, we feared that a failed World War would appear on DICE's resume. The fact is that bloody and tragic military conflicts from history are not the best platform for a fun shooter. However, the anthology format presented in the game turned out to be extremely successful - with its help we were able to plunge into the thick of the action, considering it from different points of view and without losing the thought of how much human lives are depreciated in war.
The story of how a British driver turns into a tanker has an incredible emotional depth that we have not seen before in Battlefield. But before us is not a tearful drama - this is an epic shooter that shows the war in all its details; and this is a unique project for the Xbox One console. The multiplayer mode, designed for 64 people, will drag you out for many months. This is a game that exceeded all expectations.
Don't let the snowy landscape fool you; it's a fast-paced action adventure with explosions, chases and great gunfights, which until recently was only available to owners of (ahem) other consoles. A virtual walk through beautiful locations gracefully flows into a fight for survival, after which it turns into stealth, leading to brutal action - we have a worthy embodiment of a video game icon, served on a grand scale by a big-budget Hollywood blockbuster.
At a time when other games are trying to impress us with weeks of open-world content, Rise of the Tomb Raider isn't shy about its nature - it's an exciting attraction rated at roughly 10 hours, but every minute spent in it will leave a lot of positive emotions. Unless, of course, you do not count those moments where Lara dies through your fault. There is little fun in this.
A list of the best Xbox One games simply couldn't be complete without Forza. Improved AI, collision system, updated controls - everything in Forza Motorsport 7 is performed at the highest level, as befits a worthy racing simulator. The cars are a pleasure to drive and you really feel like you're in the driver's seat when you start the car into a long drift or crash into a fence. It is worth recognizing that the game masterfully corrects all the shortcomings of the previous part.
This is definitely the best game in the series that creates a realistic and exciting experience for the gamer. Of course, some of the presented races may seem a bit difficult, but if you gain experience in numerous races and various championships, then you simply stop paying attention to it.
Somewhere during the fourth act, when real hell was going on on the screen, bullets were flying in all directions, blood was gushing in rivers, and we were crushing enemies that were getting close with chainsaws and trying to kill snipers who had settled in the distance, unimaginably beautiful music began to play. As if the Lord himself sang: "I wildly apologize for Gears of War: Judgment." Apologies are accepted.
A bloodbath called Gears of War 4 introduces us to an army of new monsters, each of which requires individual tactics, and new ideas for the combat system. This means that we have the first sequel since Gears 2 that can surprise fans without sacrificing the excellent shooting from behind cover that made the series famous. And we don't need more.
Most cooperative games boil down to the fact that sometimes there are several doors in the levels that only two people can open. There are similar doors in A Way Out, only the game itself develops the concept of cooperative passage much better.
Both players are constantly given different tasks, which are necessarily interconnected and which allow you to fully experience the importance of teamwork. You will find a lot of memorable scenes - from fixing a car to escaping from prison, which will eventually lead to an incredibly strong ending.
Let's admit it. The Resident Evil series has been out of its element for several years now. And this situation has obviously dragged on. After the incredible success of RE 4, which actually laid the foundation for the third-person shooter genre, the franchise began to gradually sink into mediocrity. However, in 2017, RE finally returned to its roots, reminding all its fans what real fear is. Resident Evil 7, a game-changer for the series, is a first-person survival horror game set on an old Louisiana farm where the protagonist is looking for his missing wife. Villains straight out of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre? On the spot.
Creepy body horror. One more tick. And, of course, a gripping story that won't let you go until the very end. Resident Evil 7 boldly breaks the stereotypes created in the past parts, and offers us a truly unpredictable adventure. Of course, the iconic herbs for the series have not disappeared anywhere, but otherwise it’s perfect, which makes you wander through the sinister corridors even when you most want to close in a safe room and not go anywhere.
If a shooter has the ability to run on walls, jump off them and climb into gigantic mechanical Titans on the fly, then this shooter immediately grabs our attention. Titanfall 2 just falls into this category. "Where's the single player company?" we grumbled when the first Titanfall came out in 2014. “Convinced!” Respawn responded. “Here's a sequel for you with a story about a pilot and his Titan. In it, you will gradually unlock weapons for the Titan, each of which looks like it can be used to blow the universe to pieces.
It will have a level in which you can travel through time by pressing only one button. It will feature hours of mind-blowing and inventive action that will make every shooter game since Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare look like a breeze. Are you happy now?" Yes, now we are happy. We also appreciated the Bounty Hunt multiplayer mode (a real nightmare for capitalists) and we promise not to call Respawn studio employees lazy again.
Since Valve is not going to make Team Fortress 3, why not Blizzard release it. The developers of World of Warcraft have bypassed the shooter genre before, and therefore it is still hard to believe that Overwatch has become one of the best multiplayer FPS. The game features a motley cast of colorful characters, each with abilities that are supposed to upset the balance (Tracer can rewind time!), but in reality everything works surprisingly smoothly.
That is, we can arbitrarily launch fire arrows, summon dragons, create walls of ice and rewind time without feeling like cheaters. The game is already a year old, and the only thing you can find fault with is Tracer's unnatural accent. Based on this logic, if Blizzard ever decides to invite players to dinner, it will cook so many dishes that the problem of world hunger will be solved in a matter of hours.
After the endless gameplay of the first part, which took weeks of the lives of millions of gamers, what could Destiny 2 offer to surpass the original? The answer is obvious: everything is the same, but multiplied by two. In the sequel, almost every detail - space travel, weapon collecting and MMO elements - is expanded and polished to a shine.
Every detail in the game indicates that Bungie has done a lot of work on the mistakes made in the first part, adding depth to the character progression system and diversifying the set of tasks that must be completed for this progress. As a result, we got a game in which single-player battles, multiplayer battles and leveling of the hero look equally nice.
After the previous parts, it might seem that the series simply has nothing to surprise us with, but Far Cry 5 once again raises the quality bar to a new level thanks to excellent design and a rich world. It's a more straightforward game, where routine side quests give way to the series' iconic action and mayhem. Yes, we still liberate bases and shoot villains in huge locations, but now you don’t have to spend long hours crafting or looking for towers here.
All this is left in the past, and the game concentrates on gunfights, fires and collisions with wild animals. The chosen setting is also interesting - the fictional state of Montana turned out to be quite realistic. Moreover, you can play the game in co-op, and if you get tired of it, you can always switch to the arcade level editor and create a couple of new locations.
The biggest gaming blockbuster deserves a place in the top five. GTA 5 was a beautiful and polished open-world game when it first came out, but on Xbox One it's taken on a whole new dimension with improved graphics, tons of new content, and the ability to beat up pedestrians in first-person view.
In addition, the game has acquired a fresh online component - a cooperative robbery mode. Thus, Rockstar gave us a vast and rich world in which, from the very first seconds, you can do everything that comes into your head. After all, this is exactly what we expect from GTA.
Minecraft, whose glory has not faded to this day, is a game that can be both surprisingly simple and incredibly complex. Whether you're building your world in creative mode or trying to make it through another day in survival mode, Mojang's masterpiece generates unique and unrepeatable situations every time. This is a world in which you can spend an eternity.
Moreover, this world is constantly evolving, delighting us with new textures, new gameplay features and other improvements that erase even hints of stagnation. If you associate Minecraft only with the ubiquitous green blocks, then it's time to catch up.
4 Assassin's Creed Origins
Assassin's Creed Origins is the long-awaited reboot that the series needed so much. And it turned out exactly the way we hoped. In addition, the game can be safely called one of the reasons to buy the Xbox One X console, because the updated graphics look just amazing. This Assassin's Creed has evolved into a full fledged open-world RPG with character leveling, creative kills and malleable gameplay. An adventure in ancient Egypt will please many with a mass of side quests, details and secrets that can be searched for days on end.
And the redesigned combat system works great in tandem with a fully customizable equipment system. (Dual blades and a poisoned shield? A health-boosting sword and a bow with controlled arrows? You can craft them all with no problem.) Throw in a witty story line and an impressive amount of options for completing each mission, and you have the perfect reboot of the Assassin's Creed series, which, symbolically, tells about the birth of the Assassin order.
3. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain
If we were not familiar with the history of the creation of this game, then we would confidently say that Konami developed the last part of Metal Gear Solid without the participation of Hideo Kojima, since the game is very different from the past creations of the master. Yes, it's not without the series' typical in-jokes, crazy mechanics, and even crazier conspiracy theories that seem to have been gleaned from the depths of the internet, but it's clearly not one of those games that Kojima usually comes out with.
The shift in focus to a massive open-world setting with multiple missions has not only made the game a masterclass for all stealth action developers, it has also given players the freedom to choose – in effect, we have become the directors of our own spy movies. Did you manage to pull off an intricate multi-level heist? Know that scripts have nothing to do with it - this is solely your merit.
Things didn't go according to plan, and you had to detonate the explosives planted in the enemy base, and then fly into the sunset on a mechanical chicken? So, at this point, you were the author of the script. In the past, many have noted that Hideo Kojima enjoys quoting his favorite films more than creating games. But MGS 5 proves this judgment wrong - Kojima wants us to quote our favorite paintings ourselves. And we will gladly spend several hundred hours on it.
From the very beginning we knew what to expect. Something massive and something buggy, because we are talking about Bethesda. Fallout 4 is an example of natural evolution - it is a game in which sometimes pointless exploration of the world, pleasant humor and a system of moral choice from the previous two parts side by side with elements new to the genre. This, of course, is not a revolutionary breakthrough, but the voice acting of the main character, and (shock!) The ability to not look into the boxes to take their contents, definitely benefited the game.
Do not think that the periodic drops in the frame rate and bugs of varying severity are left overboard, but you are already less angry with them, because the game skillfully juggles the attention of gamers, switching it from one detail to another. Studio Bethesda once again packed into one project material that could be enough for a couple of games of different genres, presenting us with perhaps the most intense game of this generation. Once you run it, you'll be stuck in it for weeks.
Arguably the most immersive RPG of all time, featuring a distinctive and memorable storyline, a chain of contracts each more surprising than the last, and an amazing array of side quests, some of which are deeper than the stories told in most modern games. The world of The Witcher 3 really deserves to be called a world - it is full of political intrigue, its own folklore and, of course, monsters that need to be cut into small pieces.
A separate advantage of the project from CD Projekt RED is a set of completely free DLC, the first of which, Hearts of Stone, we officially call the reason that the game got to the first place in this collection. This is a beautiful, inventive and iconic game for the genre, which will not be forgotten in decades to come.
Xbox One came out in 2013, sending Xbox 360 history to the shelves. The best games of which you have collected in ours. For owners of the new console, we offer our new Top 20, which contains the best games on Xbox One.

Falling to the ground, the leaf turned into a charming animal, something like a snow-white luminous kitten. In this form, Naru found him - a creature somewhat similar to a large clumsy bear - who became Ori's foster mother. The protagonist, torn from his home, must go through a gloomy forest to restore the Tree of Life and bring light to the tormented lands of Nibel.
Cuphead is literally a "classic" platform game. Classic, because everything in it is sustained in the spirit of the 1930s: from the graphics, it seems, that came out from the pen of Walt Disney himself, to the watercolor backgrounds and jazzy musical accompaniment. Boundless madness at each level will be provided to you.
Assassin's Creed Origins

Looking for something to play on Xbox One that you will definitely enjoy? Or are you planning a New Year gift for the owner of this console? In both cases, your eyes will probably run up from a huge number of names. To help you decide, we've put together a list of the top 11 Xbox One games to date.
But before we go directly to the games, let's turn to the eternal question.
AAA or indie?
The Xbox One console has come a long way since its release in 2013. Microsoft fixed the hardware bugs it found by releasing first the One S and then the One X earlier this year. But the main problem of the console remained unresolved: we are talking about the lack of exclusive games that are not available on other platforms. In recent years, third-party games released as Xbox One exclusives have been released to other platforms over time, including Windows (and sometimes even macOS) via Steam.
This often happened with the PS4, but the difference between Sony is that it releases games itself, which, accordingly, do not go further than the PlayStation. Not to say that there are no worthy exclusives on Xbox One at all. Another thing is that rarely is it something outside of the eternal Halo-Forza-Gears of War. So now all hope is indie. Microsoft promised to fix this in the future, so the situation may change in a couple of years.
Microsoft proved that indie games can also find their way to consoles when they released Braid on the Xbox 360 in 2008. Nine years later, the situation has changed significantly. The Nintendo Switch has become home to niche titles, while the number of blockbusters that Sony offers exclusively for PS4 is steadily growing. Faced with the harsh reality, Xbox CEO Phil Spencer admitted last month that the company hasn't invested enough in developing its own games. He plans to fix it next year. And we are talking about both the purchase of projects and contracts with developers and studios.
In general, indies are now almost the only interesting exclusives on Xbox One. In the same time, quality Microsoft won't be able to do AAA games until it stops thinking in terms of Forza and Gears of War alone. Note that indie is not always bad. After all, the most expensive indie game to date is the notorious Minecraft, which is now owned by Microsoft. So it's no surprise that he opens our best-of-the-best list.
Since purchasing this game in 2015, Microsoft has improved the graphics a lot, but managed not to ruin all of its pixelated charm. Most importantly, the game has become cross-platform so that people around the world can play together no matter what they play. Surprisingly, the “soulfulness” of Minecraft has not disappeared from these changes and it is still just as addictive. Next year, the graphics will be improved again, adding HDR and more detailed textures. This excellent game with high-quality original graphics will remain a necessary item in the collection of almost every gamer for a long time to come.
The second game from Playdead, the developers of Limbo, showed what they can do if they try to make the game a little more understandable for the player. Inside is a physics-based platformer that tells the story of a little boy who is trying to break into a research facility. Although at some point it will seem that it is impossible to complete the game, an interesting plot keeps you moving forward. While the sci-fi and dystopia genres in a game aimed at teenagers are almost guaranteed to mean something like The Hunger Games, in the case of Inside, it came out more like the Black Mirror series. By the time you see the end credits, all the frustration of countless defeats will be gone in one of the craziest endings in modern video games.
If you're looking to play this masterpiece from Blizzard, we recommend the Xbox One version. Playing with friends is super easy with Xbox Live, which makes it easy to share volume between game and voice chat, add new people to your team, and even stream via Mixer on Microsoft's console. Overwatch was released last year, but is still popular and not boring. At the same time, the Blozard team is only fueling the excitement of the players by adding new characters, modes and locations - and for free. So, by purchasing Overwatch, you automatically provide yourself with all the innovations for which only the imagination of the developers is enough.
cuphead
After a number of transfers, this year Cuphead finally released - and on several platforms at once, including Xbox One. This side-scroller from Studio MDHR is close in spirit to classics like Contra and Ghouls ‘n Ghosts – and the graphic style only adds to that sense of retro nostalgia. At the same time, as a visual reference, the creators took not the usual 8- or 16-bit games, but hand-drawn cartoons from the 30s. But in order to win, you will have to take a break from the colorful design and animation and concentrate on passing: remember the level scheme, the location of the enemies and the tactics of the boss attacks. Cuphead can be challenging even for experienced players, but this original project is worth all the “I can’t do this anymore” and the subsequent closure of the game.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection
The Halo series has been a goldmine for Microsoft since the first game was released on Xbox in 2001. But in recent years, rejection of the series and its shortcomings has been constantly growing. Therefore, we recommend the Master Chief Collection (MCC), a collection of the best and iconic parts of the franchise with improved graphics and a unique mission selection menu with support for sorting by topic. Want to complete the introductory level of each game in turn? Please. Interested only in missions in which you need to drive a car? And that's not a problem. In addition, in MCC, all locations are available for online play. And while most players have moved on to Halo 5: Guardians, it's a good way to remember your first LAN mission in Halo.
Forza Horizon 3
Forza Horizon 3 isn't just Microsoft's latest racing game. It's also the best Forza game to date. Unlike the main Forza Motorsport series, in this part, be ready to press the pedal to the floor and create any insanity that you can. It's more arcade than simulation - but that doesn't mean accuracy isn't important either. The laws of physics still apply here. Tired of beaches and jungle? The Blizzard Mountain add-on will show you the complexity of driving in inclement weather. Another add-on, Hot Wheels, is flooding the streets with Cars toy cars.
Alan Wake
The main benefit of the Xbox One is backwards compatibility. Simply put, you can play all the games in the huge Xbox 360 library on it, while PlayStation 4 players are deprived of most of the masterpieces of the PlayStation 3. Alan Wake from Remedy Games was the first Microsoft exclusive back in 2010. The protagonist is a writer whose life has been invaded by dark creatures from a novel he once wrote. The quiet town of Bright Falls and its inhabitants are gradually being taken over by a dark entity, turning both people and even objects into terrible enemies. To defeat them, firearms will not be enough. First you need a flashlight or a torch to "burn" the evil spirits - and only after that the enemy can be destroyed.
Ori and the Blind Forest
Ori and the Blind Forest will break your heart in just 10 minutes of play. After that, however, it will become easier - at least emotionally. In the best tradition of Super Metroid and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Ori invites the player to explore a huge 2D world where secrets can be hidden in plain sight, and as characters level up, new passages will be discovered in long-familiar locations. Amazing music and high-quality graphics perfectly complement the gameplay. If you like physics-based platform games like Super Meat Boy, Ori and the Blind Forest is almost guaranteed to be to your liking. Now is also a great time to go through it: Microsoft has already ordered a sequel from the developers.
When Microsoft bought Rare Ware back in 2002, the main question for players was whether this meant the resurrection of the legendary Killer Instinct series. So it was, but due to constant transfers, the release dragged on for 11 years - and in the end, development was completely transferred to Iron Galaxy. Microsoft, for its part, has added new heroes: General Raam from Gears of War, Arbiter from Halo and Rush from the legendary Battletoads for NES. Now the number of available characters in the fighting game is steadily approaching 30, and the combat system pleases no less than in its time on the Super NES and N64. The story mode is perfect for those who like to play alone, and you can practice against artificial intelligence that simulates the play style of real people on your friends list. This is something like the Drivatar system from Forza, only in KI you don’t need to overtake the enemy, but beat.
Quantum Break combines elements of a third-person shooter with an interactive movie genre in which the player's decisions affect how each episode ends. To solve puzzles and get rid of the enemy, you have to use not only weapons, but also time manipulation. The fact is that, according to the plot, errors in the space-time continuum led to the fact that time began to collapse. Because of this, time in the game periodically stops - and it doesn’t matter what happens at that moment. Everything can freeze in place the moment a barge crashes into a suspension bridge or a helicopter attacks an office building. This makes the game unique – and beautiful. Speaking of beauty: the developers have prepared for the release of Xbox One X and released a patch with improved graphics. So, if you have the latest version of the console from Microsoft, Quantum Break is a definite must-have.
A list of co-op games for two players on Xbox One that you should play with your friends. You only need additional gamepads.
Get together with friends and spend the evening playing a cool game - what could be better? However, the latest generation of consoles has focused its attention on online projects, where the mode of simple cooperation has become a rarity. We tried to find good options for joint gatherings.
Unravel Two
Continuation of the adventures of a knitted hero, who is called Yarni. The first game won popularity with great graphics, music and Scandinavian landscapes. Unravel is a platform game where Yarni travels through levels.
In the second part, it is possible to play together on the same screen and control a pair of Yarnis (red and blue). Passing tests, the colors of the world will be brighter and brighter, and friendship will be stronger and stronger.
Perfect for a cozy family evening, but stern bearded friends are unlikely to appreciate a kind and sweet game.
Mortal Kombat X and XL
Mortal Kombat needs no lengthy description - it's the most famous and popular fighting game since 1992.
In 2015, a fresh version of Mortal Kombat X was released for Xbox One with updated combat mechanics and cinematic quality. The XL version is cheaper and includes the base game with additional fighters that do not need to be purchased separately.
Two gamers can "wet" each other on the same console.
Call of Duty series
Call of Duty is a shooter video game series published by Activision. Some parts can be played together: Advanced Warfare (2015), Infinite Warfare(2016) and Black Ops III (2017).
War, in any form, is at the heart of every Call of Duty game. Gamers will be able to get into a wide variety of battlefields, it can be the Second World War, the fight against terrorists of our time, and even a massacre in space.
Forza Motorsport games
The FORZA MOTORSPORT racing simulator is exclusive to the XBOX and Windows 10 consoles. This game is loved by many racing fans and is considered a classic of the genre.
Motorsport can please the most jaded gamers, because in the auto-lists there is a huge amount of a wide variety of cars and popular race tracks.
Forza Motorsport will reveal the best racer, and you can do it on one TV in split screen mode.
#IDARB
This 8-bit game does not shine with graphics, but it draws you in with its recklessness and action (). This is a kind of chaotic likeness of football, but only with various obstacles (platforms) on the field, on which characters jump with the ball. The goal is simple - to score the ball into someone else's goal, and the steeper it is, the more points will be awarded.
Lots of customizable "footballers", logos, tournaments, teams and so on. Up to 8 people can play locally or via the Internet at the same time.
IDARB is a great choice for a fun company where everyone can take part without skills and long training.
BORDERLANDS: THE HANDSOME COLLECTION
The handsome collection offers many hours of bloody action with the destruction of marauders and monsters, accompanied by jokes. The re-release retains the "drawn" art style, a huge selection of weapons and the possibility of character development. You can combine up to 4 players on one screen.
DIABLO III
An RPG like Diablo has made the transition from PC to console very well, making Blizzard's Diablo III one of the best games of the genre available on Xbox One. You can collect up to 4 players in a team of six classes and go ahead to destroy monsters in the dungeons, collect goodies and pump the level. The difficulty of the game also scales depending on the number of players, so it will not be boring and easy.
minecraft
Minecraft is an incredible success story. The open-world survival sandbox game captured the hearts and minds of young and experienced players alike and soon became the game everyone is talking about. The Xbox One version supports up to 4 players locally, with the option to increase to 8 online. You can decide for yourself what you will do and how you will play. Want to mine resources and explore the world, or want to build the USS Starship Enterprise? What you do is entirely up to you and your friends, to describe the game in a nutshell.
GEARS OF WAR Series
Gears of War was the game that introduced the angry Marcus Fenix and his buddies to the world. IN Ultimate Edition the developers painted the world, removed the abundance of gray, worked out the details, but left the game mechanics original. You can mow down hordes of locusts, saw through enemies with a lancer, jumping from cover to cover. The co-op mode of Gears of War is one of the best in the genre. In terms of gameplay for co-op, all parts are good, but the Ultimate Edition will please the picture, details and dynamism. You can also play in co-op Gears of War 4, the game is available.
HALO: THE MASTER CHIEF COLLECTION
Halo: The Master Chief Collection can be considered a prime example of a quality re-release that not only polishes the graphics well, but also presents the classic Halo multiplayer, made with the utmost precision and accuracy. You can join forces and play through the original Halo: Combat Evolved campaigns like Halo 2, 3, and 4 with Halo 3: ODST's expansion. A well-implemented cooperative game mode and the bright atmosphere of the best space shooter. The Master Chief universe deserves your attention.
ROCKET LEAGUE
Rocket League is an interesting combination of racing and football. The goal is simple: a team of several riders (from 1 to 4) must drive the ball into the goal. But if you try to rewrite the laws of physics, add unkillable cars and turbo acceleration, you get RL. Cars have very sensitive control, easily enter steep walls, jump on the suspension and take off at acceleration. Rocket League is a crazy, driving and outrageously fun game that you should definitely play together.
FIFA/NBA/NHL
Never neglect the classics. It may seem that sports simulators have already reached their maximum and with each new release only the cover and the database of athletes changes. However, it is not. A lot is changing inside the gameplay: developers add new modes, improve graphics, improve the technique and movements of athletes. Games have a HotSeat mode, that is, there is a co-op with the ability to play on one screen. Your favorite team in real life can not win the Super Bowl for a long time? But with you at the helm? Who knows!
EA-Games sports simulators do not have to be purchased, you can play for free thanks to a subscription.
Resident Evil-Revelations 2
The famous "Star Wars" in all its glory - fight shoulder to shoulder with a friend (girlfriend), in the literal sense of the word.
It depends only on your team who will win the battles on land and in space. Many characters, unique skills, weapons, equipment and locations.
Battlefront is sure to appeal, not only to StarWars fans, but also to gamers who are not familiar with this large-scale space story.
This is a music simulator that is entirely dedicated to rock. Included with the game you can purchase a set of controllers (2 guitars, drums and a microphone). Rock Band 4 supports up to 4 players. You can choose who will play guitar, who will sing, and who will play drums. Create your group and go ahead to conquer the star Olympus. This version of the game adds a new technique: a virtual guitar solo. That is, now the players themselves at some point can play for their own pleasure. The soundtracks range from classic rock like The Who, Rush, Aerosmith and Judas Priest to more modern songs like Imagine Dragons. Your neighbors may hate you completely, but at least you will have a good time.
OCTODAD: DADLIEST CATCH
Octodad is a game in which you spend an ordinary day of the most normal person. Well, actually, you play as an octopus who donned a costume and misled people into thinking he was a man with a wife and kids. The goal is to do basic housework and keep up the legend that you are an ordinary person. Not an easy task, given that instead of arms and legs you have bulky, spinning, sticky tentacles.
Dadliest Catch offers a rather unique co-op experience for up to 4 players. Each controls one of the octopus's tentacles. And the simplest action, such as making coffee or mowing the lawn, turns into an exciting quest. The game will help not only to have a good time, but also to laugh heartily.
LOVERS IN A DANGEROUS SPACETIME
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a 2D game in which you control a glowing starship and defend yourself against enemies. The ship is equipped with modern technologies: all kinds of lasers, shields and a powerful engine. Only high coordination and choosing the right rooms will help protect the starship and defeat the enemies. Up to 4 participants are supported. Goal: save as many space bunnies as possible, kidnapped by the insidious forces of anti-love. Once they are on your starship, you can unlock new ships and locations. It is also worth noting the design and musical accompaniment. Each location has its own unique style, bright colors are combined with unusual monsters and all this to the accompaniment of 8-bit music.
