Top Xbox Games Series Ranked

After a robust Xbox Developer Direct to start 2025, Microsoft's impressive lineup of first-party studios has set the stage for an exciting year. With a rich catalog of game series spanning Xbox, Bethesda, and Activision Blizzard, the question arises: which series sparks the most excitement? Whether reminiscing about the glory days of the Xbox 360 or anticipating future releases on other platforms like PlayStation, Microsoft's strategic sharing of its library promises to captivate a broader audience.

Here's a curated tier list, reflecting personal enjoyment and the impact of various Xbox game series over the years:

S-Tier:

• Doom: The latest entries have solidified its place as one of the finest first-person shooters around. The anticipation for Doom: The Dark Ages suggests id Software's continued excellence.
• Forza Horizon: Outside of the iconic Burnout series, these games stand out as some of the best racing experiences, offering unparalleled freedom and excitement.

A-Tier:

• Halo: While Halo 2 and Halo 3 are celebrated for their groundbreaking campaigns, recent iterations have introduced some inconsistencies, keeping it just shy of the top tier.
• Fallout: A preference for post-apocalyptic power armor over fantasy dragons places Fallout above Elder Scrolls in my ranking.

If you have a different take, perhaps championing Gears of War as Xbox's crown jewel or defending the fun of Fuzion Frenzy, feel free to create your own tier list. Compare your S, A, B, C, and D rankings with the IGN community.
