Microsoft’s Xbox One X is the most powerful console
available on the market. If you want to play a game in true 4K, with the
clearest visuals and highest resolution, but don’t want to drop more
than $1,000 for a high-end gaming PC, the Xbox One X will take care of
your needs.
Even better than the system itself is the Xbox Game Pass. For $9.99 a month, Microsoft gives players access to a rotating list of 200 games. These aren’t third tier and C-list games either. Right now you can play The Witcher 3, The Outer Worlds, and Gears of War 5 on Game Pass without having to pay $60 for each full game.
Below is a list of the 10 best games you can play on the Xbox One X. Of the set, you can play eight on Game Pass right now. The other two — Hitman 2 and Red Dead Redemption 2 — are games that look and run better on the Xbox One X than any other console.
There’s no other game on the market like Sea of Thieves, which simulates the life of a pirate by pitting the player against the pitiless sea. Crew up with friends and run a pirate ship, or try to make a go of it on your own. It’s dangerous out there on the sea, though —other groups of players patrol the waters looking for new blood to terrorize and rob. Go on grand adventures, fight skeleton pirates, and struggle to survive in the Xbox’s most unique game.
unset Overdrive is one of the most criminally underrated games of the generation. Developed by Insomniac Games, the people behind the PlayStation’s excellent Spider-Man, Sunset Overdrive is a fast-paced open-world action game where you’ll traverse a city by sliding across rooftops and shooting at mutants. If you’re looking for the spiritual sequel to Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, this is it. It’s a bright and colorful explosion of 2000-era punk rock energy that begs the player to climb every building, shoot every mutant, and slide down every guardrail.
Gears 5 is the continuation of the long running Gears of War franchise. Playing the single-player campaign without playing the previous games in the franchise is like jumping into the final season of prestige television without knowing the plot. Thankfully, the older games are available on Xbox’s Game Pass. Multiplayer has always been Gears’ strong point, however, and Gears 5 delivers some of the franchise’s best online moments. Time.com
