Best Free Xbox Games

A colorful and stylized, neon light heavy open-world game where you play as an agent with increasingly lethal super powers and evolving vehicles, Crackdown was a bit of a cult Xbox exclusive. The brand nearly killed itself with a half-baked and depressingly shallow sequel but after many years off and a new console, Crackdown is coming back. **Crackdown 3 ** was teased alongside the unveiling of the Xbox One three years ago and the devs confirm it's finally arriving in 2017, perhaps alongside the Xbox Scorpio? More on that la


It's hard to believe it's been eight (8!) years since Halo Wars originally released, developed by Ensemble Studios. That game received favorable reviews and offered a natural expansion for the Halo brand. Bringing it back and blowing it up in a big way for the sequel (which is releasing for PC from the get-go this time) is Creative Assembly ( Total War series) alongside main Halo developer 343 Industr

The Medium piqued the interest of players all over the world almost immediately after its first trailer launched. A psychological horror game from Bloober Team, The Medium cleverly juxtaposes a real-world setting with the spirit realm, both of which are traversable by its protagonist, Marianne. This is definitely one to watch out for, if only for its evident ambition.


Watch Dogs: Legion is set in a near-future dystopian London, taking a look at a post-Brexit Britain through the franchise's trademark lens of tech observation and state governance. If it all comes off, it could be an explosive entry in the series with a lot to say. Watch Dogs: Legion has seen a delay into the next fiscal year, but this will hopefully give Ubisoft Toronto further time to polish the g


Based upon the 1918 London Spanish flu pandemic, Vampyr is a third-person action RPG where players can use melee and ranged weapons as the face off against their prey, other vampire, mutate vampires and yes, you guessed it, vampire hunt


With Buck showing back up on Fireteam Osiris in Halo 5: Guardians and likely returning to future games due to his fan-favorite status, these stories also provide great context that's missing from the game's main plot. Buck tries to be a voice of reason to Spartan Locke in Halo 5 due to his years of experience, and players who have seen him struggle with his own band of brothers feel it even harder when the foolhardy leader of the team disregards his suggestions. Bad Blood is an excellent side story that hopefully allows the characters from ODST __ to reemerge in the games at some point in the fut


Halo Infinite Events Infinite looks to buck this trend by returning to many things that nostalgic fans of Halo: Combat Evolved might remember. However, it's likely that 343 will also continue to reference the stories told outside the game, especially if Infinite hopes to fill a map the size of a Halo ring . To catch up on the best stories already told in the world of Halo novels, here are the best selections from across the long history of Master Chief fict


Quick Cash is the casual mode that has three teams competing over a vault, and Tournament is similar but with a more competitive edge (and a few other differences). These two modes highlight The Finals ' destruction mechanic, which is really the game's main selling point. Almost everything on a stage can be destroyed in some form or another, which means a map can change drastically throughout a ma


Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 will need to avoid those problems, and if it does so then it could provide users with a surprise smash in 2020. Previews suggest that it's everything the original couldn't be , so this is definitely one to keep an eye


Players of the well-received Halo 3: ODST __ got to explore the city of New Mombasa through a very different visor. The four Orbital Drop Shock Troopers players meet throughout ODST don't show up in future games, but their story does pick up in a pair of novels written by Matt Forbeck. Starting with a short tome called Halo: New Blood and continuing with a full sequel titled Halo: Bad Blood , Buck, Dutch, Romeo, and Mickey continue to find their way in a changing UNSC. Dealing with feelings of disillusionment once fighting shifts from aliens to rebel factions, the story also explores the unseemly aspects of the UNSC and other Earth governmental bodies in this unive

OK, bear with here. There's no need to be discouraged by all of the numbers after the title. This is a remaster of the original Nier game (well, an alternate version of it - shhh). So, if you liked Nier: Automata, this is a must-play. You play as Kaine and need to locate the Sealed Verses in order to save your sister Yonah, who fell victim to the Black Scra- listen, I know all of this sounds a bit wild. But Nier is really good. Just give it a whack, yeah?


For one, Fable 4 has been listed as being part of E3 this year on Mixer . With Forza Horizon developers working on the title now and it being folded into the Microsoft Studios collection makes it a likely candidate for the Xbox show; the franchise has incredibly passionate fans who have been waiting a long time for news about this sequel, and it's sure to be a crowd favor
