Petrolheads with Xbox One consoles are spoilt for choice when it comes to virtual racing, but for our money, Forza Horizon 4 is out in pole position.

Forza Horizon 4 sees you zipping through disturbingly realistic representations of rural Britain in everything from bulky ATVs to mouth-watering supercars.
Those that want track-based racing thrills would be better off with Forza Motorsport 7, but theres nothing that matches the adrenaline of taking a razor-sharp turn and narrowly missing a flock of sheep.

After a lackluster fourth outing, Gears 5 marked a gory, gutsy return to form for the iconic Xbox franchise.
While developer The Coalition dropped of War from the name, Gears 5 delivers on the boots-on-the-ground, third-person shooter skirmishes fans expect, while also deftly answering some unexplained mysteries spanning the entire history of the now-venerable series.

The multiplayer is a little too grind-heavy, but Gears 5 ranks easily among the best Xbox One games on the strength of its stellar single-player campaign.

While you should absolutely check out Halo 5: Guardians to see where the series is heading next in the not-so-distant future, its hard to deny the ludicrous bang for your buck you get with the Master Chief Collection.

The bundle comes with Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2: Anniversary, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo: Reach (a.k.a. The Best Halo), and Halo 4.
Throw in a multiplayer system that encompasses maps and modes from all six games and youve got arguably the best gaming collection since The Orange Box.

Arguably the biggest breakout indie series in the consoles library, Ori and the Will of the Wisps is a relatively new Xbox One game that expands on the now multi-platform original game with gorgeous 3D modeling, a streamlined save system, a very welcome overhaul to combat.

Cutesy indie platformers are dime a dozen in gaming, but the second Ori game is a masterful, emotive journey that Xbox One players shouldnt miss.

After years of mediocrity well below the standard of the halcyon days of the Nintendo 64, Rare finally delivered a game worthy of its retro heritage with Sea of Thieves a quirky pirate game where you sail the high seas in the hunt for booty with up to four co-op scallywags.

The online adventure is a breath of fresh air in its genre, with strict missions and hand-holding towards objectives jettisoned in favor of loose nautical escapades that frequently devolve into hilarious farce.
Cuphead A fiendishly hard platformer styled after 1930s cartoons. Best played with a friend and with a stress reliever on hand.
Dark Souls Trilogy Xbox One players miss out on the PS4 exclusive Bloodborne, but the Dark Souls Trilogy (and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice) easily fills the void of challenging FromSoftware action RPGs. Also check out the Souls-inspired Ashen.
Doom The perfect reboot of the demon-slaying shooter series. Its sequel Doom Eternal is also worth a look, though the 2016 game is a little tighter.
Hellblade: Senuas Sacrifice Dive into Senuas incredible journey into mythology and madness ahead of the Xbox-exclusive sequel coming to Xbox Series X.
Minecraft Its Minecraft. Need I say more? The sandbox phenomenon has some Xbox One-exclusive content to boot. Without doubt one of the best Xbox One games for kids.
Overwatch The Xbox One has no shortage of online shooters. Our pick of the bunch is Blizzard Entertainments Overwatch, butFortniteand Apex: Legends (two of the best free Xbox One games) will both scratch that competitive itch too.
Quantum Break A bizarre mish-mash of TV show and sci-fi action game, Remedy Entertainments Quantum Break is a unique Xbox One exclusive. Also check out Control from the same studio.
Red Dead Redemption 2 Rockstars sequel is a Western odyssey for the ages. Of course if you want more open-world action, theres also the ever-popular Grand Theft Auto 5 or The Witcher 3.
Sunset Overdrive Insomniac Games may be a PlayStation studio now, but the underrated Sunset Overdrive ranks among its best games if youre into action, shooting, and skating.
What Remains of Edith Finch A compelling story-driven title with a gut-punch ending. For something similar, give Firewatch and Return of the Obra Dinn a try.
Thats it for our list of the best Xbox One games you can buy. Well update this list as more games are released. In the meantime, be sure to check out our other gaming content below!
