With the release date of Xbox Series X narrowed from Holiday 2020 to November, it’s about time to start trying to figure out whether it’s the next-gen console for you. For many, a major part of the decision that goes into pre-ordering a new console is the lineup of games that’s supported for the hardware. To that end, we’ve highlighted all of the games that will be available for Xbox Series X at or around launch. If it’s scheduled for 2020 and it’s going to be available for Series X, it’s on the list.
You may notice that Halo Infinite is absent. Well, that’s because Halo Infinite has been delayed to 2021. The game was the flagship title in the Series X’s launch lineup, so it’s a bit disappointing to see it delayed, but Microsoft’s next-gen console has a few other games to look forward to if you’re leaning towards picking it up this November.

In an Xbox Wire blog post, Microsoft promises that, even with Halo Infinite delayed to next year, there will be “thousands of games to play, spanning four generations, when Xbox Series X launches globally this November and over 100 optimized for Xbox Series X titles, built to take full advantage of our most powerful console, are planned for this year.”
Though the game’s listed above are all of the new games coming to Series X, the console will support backwards compatibility for original Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One games. Xbox Game Pass brings over several current and past-generation games to Series X as well, including titles like Dishonored 2, Hollow Knight, Rocket League, Gears 5, and Halo: The Master Chief Collection. With an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, you gain access to xCloud as well, allowing you to play over a dozen Xbox games on your mobile and smart devices via the cloud.
