The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a legendary action RPG set in a dense and meticulously crafted open world. These are our top picks for best Xbox games you can play today. We've also added some editor's picks further below for games that are either from smaller genres or deserved an honorable mention. These are the games from the biggest genres that represent the upper echelons of what it truly means to be a 'best Xbox game,' which isn't always necessarily 'most expensive Xbox game.' Even smaller-budgeted games can dig deep and reach high in terms of fun, with Minecraft as a very clear example. These games were chosen for their quality, universal praise, and popularity among the Windows Central editorial team. We've collated our picks for best Xbox 360 games further below. There's also a list of backward compatible Xbox 360 and original Xbox games that work on the new systems too. Until then, though, know that all of the best Xbox One games are fully playable on Xbox Series X and Series S thanks to pervasive backward compatibility. We expect that in the next couple of years, the amount of games exclusive to the more powerful Xbox Series X and Series S will swell, justifying a separate list entirely. We've bundled our picks for best Xbox One and best Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S games into a single list for the time being since the lineup of next-gen exclusive games is still very small.
