The Best New Games Confirmed For Xbox Series X In 2020

The next-generation of Xbox is just around the corner. Since the announcement of price and release dates, the internet has been buzzing with anticipation for Microsoft’s newest consoles. The Xbox Series X & S will bring new levels of gaming to the next generation of console gamers. The consoles have been built for high-performances, with their lofty price tags one example of the kind of hardware you can expect when you plug your Xbox Series X or S in on November 10.

To help you get even more amped, we’ve compiled a list of Every Confirmed Game For Xbox Series X & S.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is the most anticipated Xbox Series X/S launch title. The game which has been developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft, will take place in the 9th century AD. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will recount an alternate version of the Vikings invasions of Britain. This game will release two days earlier on Xbox Series X than it will on PS5.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a continuation of the Assassin’s Creed franchise and the successor to 2018’s, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is the 17th installment in the Call of Duty franchise. The game is being developed by Treyarch and Raven Software and published by Activision. 

COD: Blacks Ops Cold War is set in the early 1980’s, during the Cold War. The campaign will follow CIA agent Russell Adler, desperate to track down alleged Soviet spy, Perseus.

Crossfire X is still yet to receive a hard release date, but the title is still billed for release in 2020. The game is a first-person shooter and will be an Xbox Series X & S exclusive. Crossfire X will be the console version of the popular Crossfire, released in South Korea in 2007.

Cyberpunk 2077 is THE most anticipated game of 2020. Technically, Cyberpunk 2077 is billed for release on Xbox Series X in 2021, but the games initial release on Xbox One will occur in 2020. While we may lose a point for accuracy, we couldn’t pass up the chance to add this highly anticipated, massively open-world first-person RPG to the list.

Cyberpunk 2077 has been developed by CD Projekt.

DIRT 5, will actually be released on Xbox One prior to the launch of Xbox Series X/S. But as of this article, this is still a brand spanking new game. I’d imagine most gamers expecting to purchase the new consoles will hold off on game purchase in the month leading up to launch.

DIRT 5 is a continuation of the DIRT franchise. The racing game is developed by Codemasters. This is the 8th game to carry the “DIRT” title.

Similar to DIRT 5, FIFA 21 will be release on the Xbox One prior to the launch of Xbox Series X. It’s unknown at this point exactly what day FIFA 21 will be released for next gen consoles, but I would be surprised if it wasn’t before the end of the year.

FIFA 21 is the latest edition to the hugely popular football series.

Immortals: Fenyx Rising will be an action/adventure game. The title is being developed by Ubisoft Quebec and published by Ubisoft. The game will be set in a large open-world environment. Players will be able to customise the gender, voice and appearance of the main character at any point.
