In less than a month’s time, Microsoft will launch its next-generation console, the Xbox Series X. And whileHalo Infinitehas been delayed, throwing a big wrench in Microsoft’s launch plans for the console, there will still be plenty for early adopters to play on day one. Microsoft has now officially confirmed the final list of Xbox Series X launch lineup games, confirming 30 titles that will be available come November 10.
The headlining games of theXbox Series Xlaunch lineup areAssassin’s Creed ValhallaandYakuza: Like A Dragon, as those games will be making their next-gen debuts on Xbox. Other notable includes likeBright Memory 1.0, which is an Xbox Series X console exclusive, as well asThe Falconeer, which is also console-exclusive to Microsoft’s new console.Gears Tactics, which debuted earlier this year on PC, will also be one of the big games available for Xbox Series X at launch.

Something to note about the Xbox Series X launch lineup is that many of the games support the Smart Delivery program. For the uninitiated, theXbox Smart Delivery programallows players to purchase one version of a game and play it across the Xbox gaming ecosystem. So, for example, someone could buy the Xbox One version ofWatch Dogs Legionwhen it releases later this month, and they will then be able to upgrade to the Xbox Series X version of the game free on November 10.
Something else to note about the Xbox Series X launch lineup is that quite a few of the games will be available to play throughXbox Game Passon day one. This includes asymmetrical multiplayer horror gameDead by Daylight, as well as Microsoft-published titles likeForza Horizon 4,Gears 5,Gears Tactics, and the popular early access gameGrounded. Xbox Game Pass will also allow users to access over 100 older Xbox games as well, giving Xbox Series X owners instant access to a significant number of titles right off the bat.
Beyond launch, there are still some major titles for Xbox Series X owners to look forward to before the year is out. Just a few days after launch, on November 13, the highly-anticipatedCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warwill launch, and then on December 10, the Xbox Series X console-exclusive horror gameThe Mediumfrom Bloober Teamwill be available as well.
