Microsoft has announced the 31 games that will be ready for Xbox Series X level play on launch day.
Specifically these will be the games, some new releases and some older titles that have been optimised and updated, which will be ready to make full use of the new more powerful hardware within the Xbox Series X when it arrives on November 10th.
More than twenty of those titles are ‘Smart Delivery’ titles meaning if you bought the Xbox One version you’ll automatically be upgraded to the new Series X version. Only some of these titles are available on Xbox Game Pass but those will get upgraded too.
The list is as follows:
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (Smart Delivery)
Borderlands 3 (Smart Delivery)
Bright Memory 1.0
Cuisine Royale (Smart Delivery)
Dead by Daylight (Xbox Game Pass + Smart Delivery)
Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition
DIRT 5 (Smart Delivery)
Enlisted
Evergate
The Falconeer (Smart Delivery)
Fortnite
Forza Horizon 4 (Xbox Game Pass + Smart Delivery)
Gears 5 (Xbox Game Pass + Smart Delivery)

The list does not include the other several hundred backwards compatible games from all three previous generations. Quite a few of these are expected to receive passive updates on the new hardware that improve their performance, with more likely to join the full optimisation list in the months ahead.
The Xbox Series X is available for sale from November 10th.
