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.
