Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is missing from the above list because it’s not technically a launch title, but it’s still going to be available very soon after the Xbox Series X launches. Black Ops Cold War releases on November 13, so you’ll only have to wait a few days to play Call of Duty on your new Xbox. Destiny 2: Beyond Light will be available on day one, but the next-gen version of Destiny 2 is not releasing until December, so it will not be optimized for Xbox Series X/S on launch day. The game and the new expansion are included with Xbox Game Pass though, so you can jump in for free if you’re a subscriber.
Many of the games listed above are existing Xbox One titles that are getting free next-generation upgrades that will let players carry over their progress and continue their favorite games with all-new enhancements. Watch Dogs: Legion, Gears 5, and Forza Horizon 4 are some examples of older games that are optimized for Xbox Series X/S, and they’ll take advantage of the systems’ unique features like ray tracing and improved loading times.
The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S will be released on November 10 worldwide.
