So far the Xbox Series X games list adds up to 49 video games announced for the next-gen Xbox Series X console that will be released in Fall 2020. Confirmed launch games include Halo Infinite*. Plus plenty of Xbox One year-2020 games that are listed below will be Xbox Series X optimized.
Backwards Compatibility: All original Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox One games that have been made backwards compatible for Xbox One will be backwards compatible with the Xbox Series X AKA Xbox 4 console at its launch! In fact, these games from previous Xbox generations will look better with added HRD support.
Exclusives: (Timed) Exclusive & Console-Exclusive games have their names bolded.
Update Note: On July 23 Microsoft will hold an online Xbox Series X 20/20 event presentation (as a replacement for the cancelled E3 2020 show) which will provide more Microsoft-published first- and third-party game reveals for the system’s launch & beyond.
