After over a year of anticipation the Xbox One X is finally here. The console juggernaut launches tomorrow November 7 worldwide. Those who preordered or those who plan to get the console Day 1 may be wondering just what games they want to pick up and what games are going to take advantage of all that power. Well the Lions have you covered. Here are the Top 5 games we recommend you pick up to compliment your new Xbox One X.
5. Forza 7
The Forza series has been the pinnacle of racing games for some time now and Forza 7 continues that tradition. Enhanced for the Xbox One X, Forza 7 outputs at a beautiful and stunning 4K while playing at a smooth 60fps. If you love Forza and you're picking up an Xbox One X this one is really a no brainer. You need this game in your library. Be warned though, as with many of the Xbox One X games the file size is MASSIVE. So if you haven't already, you may want to cop and external hard drive.
4. NBA 2K18
NBA 2K18 is also getting the royal treatment and outputs at a native 4K and runs at 60fps. This makes for fantastic visuals as well as fluid gameplay you would expect. 2K18 has been the lead dog in sports sims for awhile now and there is a reason for that. The great part is, it's even better on Xbox One X.
3. Assassins Creed: Origins
Assassin's Creed: Origins has returned to form and is easily one of the best in the series. The visuals on the stunning open world are even more pronounced on the Xbox One X and are impressive to say the least. That said, we really wish that given the power of the new console Ubisoft would've pushed for 60fps but they did not. Parity perhaps? We don't know. But what we do know is Origins is a great game and if you haven't picked it up already you'd do well to compliment your Xbox One X with this game.
2. Middle Earth: Shadow of War
This one is a personal favorite of mine. I love Shadow of War. It's a phenomenal game that offers hours upon hours of enjoyment as you build your army of Orcs to challenge Sauron and the Nazguls in the fight for Middle Earth. Also outputting at 4K(but unfortunately also outputting at 30fps) Shadow of War looks stellar. Even Digital Foundry was impressed by how Shadow of War looked on Xbox One X compared to the S and other consoles. This is easy to recommend. Looking for something to get on the X? Do it.
1. Gears of War 4
Gears 4 looks and plays, in a word, amazing. The leap here is pretty incredible. Outputting at a native 4K and running at an ultra smooth 60fps Gears 4 really highlights what the Xbox One X is capable of. While most of us have already experienced Gears 4, you really owe it to yourself to come back to the game if you have an Xbox One X. It really surprised me just how good Gears looked and played running of the X. This game really showcases what the Xbox One X can do and what we can expect in the future. The Xbox One is a beast or in this case, a brumak. This game really highlights that.
Now mind you these aren't the only games that will receive Xbox One X enhancements. More than 100 games have already been given or will receive the enhanced treatment. That includes backward compatible games as well. These are just our current picks. MS has long touted Xbox One X as the world's most powerful console. And it is. These are just five reasons why.
