Looking for the best Xbox One games that you can play right now? Then you’ve come to the right place. The Xbox One has been on the market for seven years now but in those years it’s built up a big library of games, many of which are truly exceptional. 

While the release of the Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S has marked the beginning of the new generation of consoles, thanks to Microsoft’s commitment to backwards compatibility and cross-generations accessibility, however, many Xbox One titles are still worth your attention as they’ll be playable across the Xbox family for many years to come. Some of them will even receive enhancements that take them into the next-generation of Xbox Series X games, so if you’re a next-gen Xbox owner, don’t dismiss these games as old hat because you might find a gem that shouldn't be missed. 

Microsoft’s Xbox ecosystem means that whether you’re playing with the Xbox One S, the pared-back All Digital Edition, the currently all-powerful Xbox One X, or the brand new Xbox Series X/S and you’re looking to get started, there’s a fantastic range of first and third-party titles to choose from. It doesn’t matter whether you’re looking for all-out action or an indie adventure, you’re likely to find a game to suit your tastes here, leaving you more time to play.

Don’t worry if nothing here really grabs you right now - just check back in with us in a few weeks as with every new release we update and revise our picks. Read on to find out the best Xbox games you can play right now, whether that’s on disc, through download, or maybe even with Xbox Game Pass.

Apex Legends is another contender vying for the battle royale crown. Developed by Respawn Entertainment and set in the Titanfall universe, Apex Legends is a squad-based battle royale shooter where teams of three go up against 57 other players to try to gather loot and be the last person (or squad) standing.

However, unlike Fortnite and PUBG, Apex Legends sees players take on a class, each represented by a unique character (imagine Fortnite mixed with Overwatch and you’ll be on the right track.)  

Apex Legends is the perfect battle royale game for those who enjoy the genre's premise but can't get onboard with Fortnite's building or PUBG's competitiveness - and it's free. Plus, different classes, abilities and limited-time events make for a more dynamic experience overall.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is the most recent addition to the epic Assassin's Creed RPG franchise. Odyssey is set during the Peloponnesian War and sees you stepping into the sandals of either Alexios or Kassandra as they try to uncover the truth about their history while navigating the turbulent world of Ancient Greece as a mercenary. 

Odyssey is a graphically stunning Xbox One game which will take you to the heart of Ancient Greece, easily securing it a place in our collection of the top Xbox One games - and we're expecting the next chapter in the series, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, will follow suit. Just make sure you have the time to play it because there's over hours of content to enjoy here.

Not a Call of Duty fan? Then Battlefield 1 might be a good alternative. The first-person shooter takes players back in time to World War One and by doing so completely rejuvenates the once stagnating franchise. 

Battlefield 1's historical setting helps it to stand apart from the rest of the modern military shooters on the market, with all new weapons, vehicles, and level designs that feel fresh and capture the chaos and brutality of war.

The game offers a poignant and entertaining single-player campaign that sets a new standard for first-person shooter. Broken into six sections, each following a different character and front line location, the campaign never feels dull or repetitive.

The single player campaign even feeds neatly into Battlefield 1's multiplayer mode which, while familiar, also benefits from the much-needed breath of life that the change in setting gives.

Graphically impressive, entertaining, and sometimes touching, Battlefield 1 is a return to form for the series.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare () is something of a reset for the bestselling FPS franchise – removing the frills of zombies, jetpacks, double-jumps and futuristic gadgetry for a grounded take on what military engagement actually looks like in the 21st century. 

The name is no coincidence, either; 's Modern Warfare was a landmark entry in the Call of Duty series, and Activision is looking to recreate what made the game of the same name so successful.

Modern Warfare is all about the gritty realities of war this time out, with the ‘modern’ of the ‘Modern Warfare’ title referring to the gear, weapons and gadgetry being used today in the Middle East and Russia, rather than the far-flung fantasies of science fiction.

While Modern Warfare has some glaring issues with regards to its campaign, it's still the best instalation the series has seen yet - with tight shooting and more multiplayer modes than you can shake a stick at.

The dark horse of , Remedy Entertainment's Control is an action-adventure with a difference. 

Control sees you stepping into the shoes of Jessie Faden, the newest director of the clandestine Federal Bureau of Control (FBC) - a Government agency which researches, and ultimately aims to control, paranormal activity. But Jessie’s new role has a few issues not exactly laid out in the job description, including the uprising of a paranormal force known only as the Hiss.

The affinity with which Remedy has courted multiple difficult genres both in film and in games with Control and still managed to deliver a mind-bending story evocative of True Detective and Twin Peaks is absolutely remarkable.

Here's what we said in our full Control review:

"Control feels like what would happen if David Lynch licked a Petri dish full of Jungian psychology and SCP entries. The resulting hallucination would be Remedy’s latest mystery. It’s the videogame that connoisseurs of absurd cinema and the surreal have been waiting for."

After a long development and lots of anticipation, Xbox indie exclusive Cuphead finally released in Was it worth the wait? It certainly was.

With visuals and a soundtrack inspired by s animation and gameplay inspired by the platformers of the 80s, this game has had us torn since we first tried it. It's lovely to look at but its gameplay is challenging and you're going to find yourself frustrated and dying a lot.

We enjoyed Cuphead so much we named it Best Xbox Exclusive in our Game of the Year Awards. It's an indie experience that shouldn't be missed and you'll only find it on Xbox and PC.
