We know the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S will be out on Nov. 10, but little has been said about which games you'll actually be able to play from moment one. That changes now.
Microsoft has confirmed the full Xbox Series X/S launch lineup at long last. The sizable list includes every game that's either coming out or benefits from next-gen enhancements from the very first moment you plug in and turn on your new gaming console.
Many of the launch titles are part of Microsoft's Game Pass program, meaning subscribers will have immediate access as part of their subscription. Also note that this list doesn't include older games that are strictly backward compatible, with no improvements beyond the basic upgrades the new Xbox's backward compatibility offers.
Here's the full list, along with notes for which titles are part of Game Pass and which ones support Smart Delivery.
