Top 5 Xbox Exclusives of the 2010s - Xbox Enthusiast

With the end of decade quickly approaching, it is time to look back at the 2010s and examine the very best Xbox exclusive games.

I'm sure xbox fans can pick a better list. Where's forza horizon

[Rude-ro]

Forza horizon 3 is on the list...🤔
Or are you wanting all of them listed?
Not much difference other than 3 having the most to offer per content.

[The Wood]

Sorry I thought was forza 3. . .

Xbox need to fix up fast. This is 10 years. . . . The new acquisitions will need to hit the ground running. Again, ms are moving in the right direction but they've got a lot of catching up to do to even compete let alone come out on top

[Unspoken]

I would add Ori to that list, as well as Killer Instinct, Quantum Break, Forza Motorsport 7, Ryse, Titanfall, State of Decay, Halo Spartan Assault, with honorable mention to Project Spark and Screamride.

Funny, this list looks like it was made by a Sony fanboy who can't count past 5. Not surprising.

@unspoken
You pretty much just listed the rest of the games available to choose from and since said article is “top 5 exclusives”. they are not just naming all games available.
Titanfall, forza 7, ryse, state of decay, quantum break, etc are not exclusive.

[Unspoken]

Couple points here. You still need a copy of Windows, which the Xbox runs off of, to run these unless they can run under Linux. Forza is only available from the Windows Store. Killer instinct was made available to Steam with cross play on Windows and Xbox console players. No Nintendo or Sony. Quantum Break was published by MS. They made the decision to release on Windows PCs. Titanfall also released on Microsoft Windows through the Origin store. Sounds pretty exclusive to me. You need Windows to run any of these games.

@Unspoken

That is a goal post argument to be had..
Either way, they are still mediocre offerings for an entire gen from a company that is trying to be a gaming division.

Who publishes a game does not make it exclusive.
Sony has a plethora of games on pc and console as well.
That is not the topic..
What can you get exclusively on an Xbox console.. key word exclusive.

Just because it appears to be an embarrassing offering compared to the competition does not mean you can change the argument to make it minimally look better.

Everyone under the sun knows Microsoft was a huge let down since 2009 with pr and marketing fluff keeping them relevant outside of third party support.

worst list ever

[XabiDaChosenOne]

When a collection of past games is your top game of the decade that really says something.

[chiefJohn117]

Right! Shows how great those games were. Still hold up well even by today's standards

[cyber_daemonx]

@chief, nah it actually shows how bad xbone games are lol.

[Dovergamer]

Their list only should place only one: Halo 5 and that game under delivered.

Cuphead is available on Switch.
Master Chief Collection is available on Steam the game is on PC
Gears is available on PC
Forza Horizon is on PC
Sunset Overdrive is a PC game.

So in other word XBONE DON'T have a top five of EXCLUSIVE games. That says a lot.

[Unspoken]

4 of those PC games run under Windows. Yep, still exclusive. Get over it.

[Dovergamer]

The definition of exclusive means that the game is only available for ONE platform. So yes, the XBONE has no top five exclusives. The only single exclusive XBONE has is Halo 5 with a score of 84 in meta critic.

Seems all the XBox people are on vacation, yet I saw a few in the PS Plus January games article. Avoiding this article like the plague.

[The Wood]

Makes sense. . I would. . There's only so much dc and service swerve you can do BUT I still think there are more worthy exclusives on the xbox despite is shallow pool

[kingcorey]

Man...

[chiefJohn117]

I'd swap Cuphead for Ori. Other than that the list is hard to argue. Sunset was great and ofc the faces of Xbox are gonna be there. So there's really only 1 or 2 spots up for debate. I'd put SOD2 before Cuphead too

[Knightofelemia]

I'd swap Gears 3 for Gears 2, Gears 2 just feels like a better game then Gears 3 Dom's death and yes I will ruin it felt rushed like it was going to happen. When Dom found Maria you could feel that pause and understand how he felt when he found her just to put her out of her misery.

[sampsonon]

he thought to himself. and then he spent the rest of the week trying to come up with one.
