Top Xbox Games Ranked by Series

After a robust Xbox Developer Direct to kick off 2025, the future looks bright for Microsoft and its impressive array of first-party studios. With such a rich catalog of game series from Xbox, Bethesda, and Activision Blizzard, fans have plenty to be excited about. Whether you're reminiscing about the glory days of the Xbox 360 or eagerly anticipating Xbox titles on other platforms like PlayStation, there's no shortage of legendary series to choose from.

Here's my personal tier list, based on my enjoyment and the impact these series have had over the years:

Simon Cardy's Xbox Games Series Tier List

In my S-tier, Doom stands out as a clear favorite. The recent entries have solidified its place among the best first-person shooters, and the upcoming Doom: The Dark Ages promises to continue id Software's stellar run. Forza Horizon also secures a spot in the S-tier, with its games ranking among the finest racing experiences I've ever had, rivaled only by classics like Burnout 3 and Burnout Revenge.

While Halo is an iconic series, I've placed it in the A-tier due to its recent inconsistencies, despite the brilliance of Halo 2 and 3's campaigns. Similarly, I lean more towards Fallout than The Elder Scrolls, preferring the allure of power armor over dragons.

If you disagree with my rankings, perhaps you believe Gears of War deserves the top spot or are a staunch defender of Fuzion Frenzy. Feel free to create your own tier list and compare your S, A, B, C, and D tiers with the IGN community.
