Best Xbox Games
Xbox is Microsoft's gaming platform — spanning Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S — and the home of Game Pass, widely considered the best-value gaming subscription available. Xbox's first-party lineup includes Halo, Forza, Gears of War, and a growing portfolio from acquired studios including Bethesda (Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Starfield), Obsidian (Outer Worlds, Pentiment), and InXile. The Xbox ecosystem is unique in bridging console and PC: most Xbox exclusives are also available on PC through the Microsoft Store, and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate covers both platforms simultaneously under one subscription.

About Xbox Gaming
Xbox's defining advantage is its ecosystem rather than any single exclusive. Game Pass Ultimate gives subscribers access to hundreds of games — including every Microsoft first-party title on day one of release — playable on both Xbox and PC. Xbox Series X/S is backwards compatible with Xbox One, Xbox 360, and original Xbox games, giving it the deepest backwards compatibility library of any current console. Cross-buy and cross-save between Xbox and PC means your game library and progress follow you between platforms for most Microsoft titles, with no double-purchase required.
Game Pass changes the buying calculation significantly on Xbox — before purchasing any Microsoft first-party title, check whether it's included in Game Pass, since most are added on day one of release. The Xbox Series S (digital-only, less powerful) and Xbox Series X (disc drive, full performance) serve different needs and price points. Online multiplayer on Xbox requires Game Pass Core or Ultimate — unlike Nintendo Switch, where online multiplayer for many games is free. If you primarily play single-player games, the cheaper console tiers and no subscription requirement save money.
Microsoft first-party Xbox games are better value through Game Pass than as individual purchases if you play multiple titles per year. For third-party games not on Game Pass, physical Xbox Series X discs hold resale value like PlayStation physical copies. The Microsoft Store runs sales, but PC key resellers — Fanatical, Green Man Gaming, Voidu — often have better prices on multiplatform titles. GameTheca tracks prices across Xbox, PC, and all key resellers simultaneously so you can compare every option in one place and buy wherever the price is lowest.
