With the changing of the console generations at hand, it's time to assemble the list of essential Xbox One games! Like all other Essential threads, you're encouraged to vote for your favorite Xbox One games here! Voting is as simple as commenting the name of the game you'd like to vote for in this thread, which will add a point to its tally. Games voted for should be ones that have an Xbox One edition specifically, rather than Xbox 360 or original Xbox titles that can be played via backwards compatibility. The four categories, as always, are Essentials, Recommended, Noteworthy, and Other!

Essentials (15+)

You can vote for any Xbox One game that's been released, which you do by simply commenting the name of the game in this thread. I've amended the above post to make that a bit more clear!

horizon chase turbo.

What else I have on my Xbox...

The crew 2
Destiny 2 (this was free so this is why I have it. I'm not a fan of fps games)
Ori and the blind forest
Ori and the will of the wisps
Xenon racer
Visage
Retroarch (the best one)

Those are all the Xbox one games I have so I'm gonna vote for all of them even if some of them sucks (xenon racer).

That's not how this works. You should only list games you think are good, games that anyone who owns an Xbone should play, not just every game you have including the bad ones.


Anyways, +1 for MCC.

Horizon 3 is a masterpiece and a staple of my childhood, since my homie got it when it came out. Music, graphics, cars and atmosphere is absolutely unmatched

I’ll throw in a vote for Red Dead Redemption 2 — easily one of the most immersive experiences on Xbox One. The world detail, story, and soundtrack are all incredible, and it really shows what that generation of hardware could do at its best.

 

[Marc_LFD]

Forza Horizon 4
Halo Master Chief Collection
Sunset Overdrive
Rare Replay
Project Spark (For the Conker level)
Conker: Live & Reloaded (BC)
Toy Story 3 (BC)
Disney Rush (BC) (Now with controller support)
GTA IV (BC)
Quantum Break
Ryse: Son of Rome
Split Second (BC)
Rage (BC)
Phantom Dust (BC)
Harm's Way (BC)
Gears of War (BC)
Crackdown (BC)
Tekken Tag 2 (BC)

I can't get these games on PS4/PS5 so I just play on Xbox.

 

[Hansel85]

I actually really wanted to play Destiny 1 for its single player mode, but then I read it's 30fps only on the One X so skipped it.
