Microsoft's Xbox Developer Direct has generated significant excitement for the future of Xbox gaming. But which Xbox game franchises truly resonate with players? This article explores a subjective ranking of prominent Xbox game series, considering both classic titles and future prospects, encompassing franchises from Xbox Game Studios, Bethesda, and Activision Blizzard. Note that only series with multiple entries are included.
A personal tier list is presented below, reflecting individual preferences and experiences:
The "S-tier" ranking of Doom reflects the high regard for recent installments, with Doom: The Dark Ages generating considerable anticipation. Similarly, Forza Horizon secures an S-tier placement, lauded as among the best racing games ever created. The "A-tier" placement of Halo, while acknowledging the excellence of Halo 2 and Halo 3, reflects concerns about recent inconsistencies. A personal preference for Fallout over Elder Scrolls is also noted.
This ranking is, of course, subjective. Players may strongly favor franchises like Gears of War or Fuzion Frenzy. Feel free to create your own tier list and compare your rankings with others.
