*These games will take advantage of Xbox Smart Delivery, giving you the best version of the game depending on which console you play it on at no additional cost. Game progression is automatically carried over, as well.
Please note that while Halo Infinite was initially listed as a launch game, it was announced in August that it would be delayed until early 2021. Third party exclusive game Scorn had also been rumored to be a launch game, but has also since been delayed to early 2021.
Several games will also be available during the launch window for the Xbox Series X, including Call of Duty: Black Ops – Cold War (Nov 13th), and Cyberpunk 2077 (Nov 19th)
In addition to the above launch games, it has been confirmed that both the Xbox Series X and Series S will support all playable games on the Xbox One – which include currently supported Xbox 360 and original Xbox games. However, those that require a Kinect senor may not be compatible.
Additionally, Xbox Series S users should note that the Series S will not support the Xbox One X enhancements that were given to many Xbox 360 and original Xbox games. Instead, the Xbox Series S will run the same backwards compatibility feature as the Xbox One S – applying improved texture filtering, better frame rates, and faster load times with HDR.
