Xbox Games Series Tier List

Following a strong showing at the Xbox Developer Direct to start 2025, the future looks bright for Microsoft and its impressive roster of first-party studios. But which Xbox game series excites you the most? Which ones provided the most enjoyment during the Xbox 360 era? Or, if you're new to Xbox, which series are you most anticipating experiencing on platforms like PlayStation, given Microsoft's apparent commitment to expanding its game library's reach?

There's a wealth of legendary game series to choose from, especially considering Microsoft's acquisitions of Bethesda and Activision Blizzard. This tier list includes any series associated with Xbox, Bethesda, and Activision Blizzard, provided it boasts more than one entry – apologies to MachineGames and Indiana Jones! A sequel would certainly change that. This isn't an exhaustive list of *every* Xbox game series, but we've aimed for comprehensive coverage of current and historically significant titles.

For me, Doom easily earns an S-tier ranking. The recent entries are among my favorite first-person shooters, and Doom: The Dark Ages looks like id Software is maintaining its winning streak. Forza Horizon also sits comfortably in S-tier; arguably, aside from Burnout 3 and Burnout Revenge, they're the best racing games I've ever played. Placing Halo in A-tier might raise eyebrows. While Halo 2 and 3 boast phenomenal campaigns, I can't overlook the inconsistencies in more recent entries. I'm also more of a Fallout fan than an Elder Scrolls enthusiast. Power armor over dragons, any day!

Disagree? Believe Gears of War reigns supreme? A staunch defender of Fuzion Frenzy? Why not create your own tier list below and compare your S, A, B, C, and D tiers with the entire IGN community?
