Buying And Playing An Xbox One In 2024: The Must Have Games You Need To Get Right Now! 

You can pick up a launch Xbox One right now for under $100 in most places, and it has a ton of great games you can play. If you've never been part of the Xbox ecosystem, there's also Game Pass with a huge built in library of games, and the first party Xbox One games never leave that library. Had a lot of fun recording this, trying to get content out a bit faster now. Thanks to everyone who decides to watch my video!

I bought an Xbox one X recently on Marketplace for $100 and I love it. Not only are there great games, but the back catalog of OG and 360 games is insane as well! A must own system!

I just sold my OG XB1 I’ve had since 2015. Never a problem with it. It was just time for an upgrade but I miss is dearly. Great console.

Great list! I'd also recommend Dead Rising 3, Forza Motorsport 7, Quantum Break, Rare Replay, and ReCore which are all console exclusives.

awesome video! I actually got an xbox one x this year, for myself and the kids, and we've been loving it so far!

There’s something nostalgic about the vcr Xbox one

Amazing vid man keep them up I’ve been binging your content trying to find out what games to get lol

Love the big boxy design of the xbox one. Owned the original xbox one, then bought a one s and eventually the one x.

I recently got a Xbox one back in November last year (2023) over the last 5 months I'v been having so much fun with the Gamepass I only had a 1TB hd but getting a external HD from amazon. I got a bunch of games in my back catalogue, that i have missed during the last 10 years (Halo/GOW/Forza/Dead Rising/Sunset OverDrive) and so on.

Xbox One X with an SSD upgraded is still a fantastic modern console. I'd recommend it if not for the Series X being so cheap, it was being sold for $349 new during December. XB1 is now basically obsolete like the PS4 thanks to the PS5/XSX having backwards compatibility and even improving PS4/XB1 games.

Love Xbox One. Great vid!

Psychonauts 2 is honestly such an amazing game. I played the first one as a child and it was wonderfully show my daughter this game and play it with her.

The main advantage of the Xbox one and series x is the 360 and Xbox backwards compatibility even if it is limited, I love the ps4 and 5 but not being able to play disc based ps3 games on them is a shame (ps now streaming sucks)

the one x performance is awesome still...playrd halo infinite downloaded and cloud and it ran smooth as butter, looked amazing, only had a few glitches at launch. Gears 5 runs smooth, all the newer titles it allows me to download tun smooth just longer load times than cloud streaming which makes sense..

I even though I don’t use it for gaming. The OG X1 is still a good streaming entertainment platform for Netflix,Amazon Prime, Disney +, etc.

A One X with an SSD Upgrade is still a solid option imo for gaming at 4k. The UI is snappier and loading and even download times are improved by a lot cause there is no bottleneck anymore from the HDD

I have a series x but I might buy a launch Xbox one used from GameStop to put in my second room

I remember having my Xbox One (the base one) and playing games awesome games on it all the time, most of the games on here you named are my main games on my Series X which are Titanfall 2, Halo and Gears 5. The Series X is a beast and one of the best consoles Microsoft has ever made and if for anyone that doesn’t have one I’d suggest they get a One X and put a SSD in it, cause even though it’s not as strong as the Series X and no quick resume you can still play games in 4K. The only thing I’d be worried about if I still owned my Xbox One or if I just bought one is how much longer it’d be supported, cause once Microsoft stops making games for it and there is no more game pass it’s pretty much just going to be time to move on to another console like the newer Xbox’s. Cause they are good consoles to and I kind of enjoy my Series X more than I did my VCR Xbox One, Microsoft is doing a good job this generation with the Series consoles.

Backwards compatibility is one of the best features on Microsoft consoles and pc😊

i still got the xbox one s and still it is a powerful console, i played several games on it including the latest forza horizon 5, it runs great on my xbox. i might will upgrade and get a series x in future.

I still have my xbox one it is still good in 2024 i love it so much.

I still got the og xbox one i use it for disc offline games and i got a xbox series s for online games for digital

Divinity Original Sin 1 & 2 and Fallout 3 And NV are all playable on xbox 1 as well.

Is it really worth buying a Xbox One in 2024 if you have an Series S or X Probably not. Does it have more backwards compatible titles? I don't think so. It does have the ability to use Kinect and the TV Tuner etc though.

These Xbox’s are great especially if your on a budget and want one

I have the xbox one of my brothervin law. There are a few problems with it. The disk reader makes weird acute sound while spinning disk, the disk often won't eject and the hoke stuff seems broken. But the digital games are wirki g okay except... Some games acheivements are not popping until I go to the menu. ... Also this console was build thinking people were wanting a gand free device multimedia etc... Kinect etc... It failed. Also even if for me graphins are very good. Xbox was always first person shooter oriented and with age I kinda feel ..it's repetitive. I felt PS4/5 have more adventure deep story games like Beyond Two Souls Heavy Rain etc.

I’m still using my Xbox one s and ps4 still. Haven’t been any games that’s peaked my interest In upgrading, I only play fallout 76 on the Xbox.

Im still using my xbox one haha only version of xbox that gives you an additional “HDMI in” port to hook up whatever you want to it🔥 and you can use the xbox series x controller with it 🤘🏾

Am still on one S I just started saving up for series S or ps 5 digital edition

Hi! If I could get a quick response to my inquiry, that’d be great! So, I’m thinking of trading my Series S for an Xbox One, likely the X model. At the time of this writing, my GameStop will offer $165 for it and a pre owned One X is $199. So, it’ll mostly cover the cost. Mainly, I’m considering this because i prefer physical media, I already own a PS5 and with many Series X titles reportedly coming to the console, I dont see a reason to own a Series and I’m concerned about Microsoft’s longevity for support for the Series S. That and I mostly wanna play 360 and some old OG Xbox games. Do you think that’s a good idea? Or should I really get a Series X

Great video! You forgot Gears of War Ultimate (which I know is a remake, but it does have some extras) and also Gears Tactics. So that's 8 Gears games on one console. Good point about critically acclaimed games catering to critics. I have personally enjoyed many games that got around a 6/10 rating.

Gears of War 6 and the next Halo will almost certainly be Xbox Series exclusive but those are probably a ways off. If it's all you can afford right now, combined with Game Pass and Xcloud to play more recent titles. Its not a bad combo.

Question! I just bought one of these Xbox One but OMG the lag is killing me while playing Fortnite. If i use a external SSD will that help?

Are you talking like that on purpose, the tonal change at the end of every other sentence. It’s like you’re tryna add a more dramatic tone to it lol. Just my observation, I’m liking the video btw.

I wish i still had my Xbox One I'm not a huge gamer but i upgraded anyway, yeah i tried Game Pass but its not really enough for me i wish i never spent the money.

we hope this year or 2026 to see new backwards compatible games on Xbox One/Series X? so bad😢

I have limited money and wanna buy a xbox, cant find any xbox one s or x in my area but there is a xbox one. should I buy it? I wanna play new gen games.

Cindy it’s auntie , please call your father he needs help with the horses

I had an xbox one since 2018 but me and my brother got an xbox series x for xmas so we use that now

I have all Xbox, Playstation, and some of Nintendo consoles, thousant games, and I believe that Xbox One is the best and most powerful. After ten years from release it still holds great with hundred fantastic games. By my opinion, some masterpieces are: Dirt Rally, Call Of Duty "Advanced Warfare", Dirt 4, F1 2020.

I actually play Titanfall 1 quite a bit still about 80 people on avg mostly playing attrition.

I bought a Xbox one x for 100euro 2months ago and a great console I have a ps5 a switch and use to have a 360

yo ive never heard of crimson dragon. battletoads is fire though. then i played Turtles Shredders revenge😂

I own all the currently released consoles and I am still buying Xbox one games. They are dirt cheap on eBay

I remember the joy I had with the 360 so I was so excited when I picked up my Xbox 1, but waiting around for a good games while PS4 were bringing out hit after hit was torture, so made the decision to sell it and brought PS4 and it turned out to be the best decision I've ever made. The End.

People will probably disagree with me on this but dead rising 3 is a great game to pick up on xbox one

I have the one s and it’s too slow and I don’t have enough storage. I was thinking of the one x to upgrade to since it’s the cheapest upgrade and just install a new SSD into it

Main reason for me to own an Xbox one is the internet explorer. Anime streaming and RU-vid in ultra high definition.

Recore deserves mention here.

i still have this old vcr, probably gonna use it to play halo with buddies or whatever. i still have a lot of 360 games i want to play as well, but i don’t believe there’s any graphics benefit on the original one. if i play a lot i might just get a used type s/x or something, but id rather not turn this brick into e-waste

The Xbox One X is the last Microsoft console I've bought, if i ever get another Xbox console itll be another One X. 👍🏿👍🏿

I have original Xbox One halo bundle I don't play no more I play Xbox One s and x and xbox series s and Xbox series x i play the xbox 360 more then the other xbox consoles the best game for xbox one is sunset overdrive

Still got the one, it only needs an SSD and it'll run like a champ, with the price of this thing and its endless game library, it feels like a too good to be true kind of bargain.

These videos usually fail me somewhat so ill leave a small list of some of my favorite xbox one games. Asphalt 9 Vampire Survivors Army of Ruin Borderlands 1-3 Brotato Risk of Rain 2 Dying Light Fortnite Forza Horizon 4&5 Halo Master Chief Collection High on Life Lies of P (lite soul) Metro Exodus Mass Effect A Plague Tale Requiem Remnant Robo Quest Saints Row 2&3(2 best) Shadow Warrior 3 Bright Memory Warframe Bioshock Infinite Black Ops 3&4 Dishonored Diablo 3 Mad Max Metal Gear Solid V Minion Masters The Outer Worlds Red Dead 2 Prey Tomb Raiders Ryse Son of Rome Slay the Spire Fable 2&3

picked up an xbox one without controller for $47 have a controller already ive owned the series x and series s but sold them as i mainly play on pc but decided to pick up the xb1 for chill cosy nights when i dont wanna sit in my pc chair and just wanna relax in bed

Sunset overdrive looks like infamous

The best option for playing Xbox One games is a Series S or Series X for backward compatibility. If you already have a One X, I'd recommend the Series X. If you have a One S, base Xbox One, or are new to the Xbox ecosystem and have few or no physical games, get the Series S. Imo, there's not much reason to buy a One X because you can get a Series S for $50-100 more and it will play newer games like Starfield, Suicide Squad, Frontiers of Pandora, and all upcoming Xbox 1st party games like Hellblade 2, Avowed, Fable, and Indiana Jones.

I prefer story games such as Life is Strange, Control, Alan Wake remastered, Bioshock trilogie System Shock remastered, Max Payne, Tales from the Borderlands Batman trilogy Prey. Etc.

Can we play wwe 2k23, GTA v, and new games that which is available in PS5

Xbox One is brilliant ❤❤

Bought mine for 22 bucks at goodwill

It's a fair console & games/back compat, Impulse Triggers before HD Rumble and Dualsense haptics. Not the same but still fun for Gears reloading and racing games assist, also yes media playback. CD in PS4 nope Xbox yep. Changes were fair and also disappointing. I love I can use a CD player, Blu ray app and any music app I want not just Spotify and the generic media player on PS4. Is the touchpad on a Dualshock 4 fun yes but that's not enough. Online check in did suck but they removed it yep. I was used to both consoles but from mostly into PS but enjoyed the odd Xbox. Now Nintendo first party more and third party on both PS4/Xbox One yeah..... I pick up odd Xbox One first party but it varies what I find or care for. If people want cloud they can. Xbox One can be seen as unnecessary but I still like it. I don't care to upgrade for the 2022/23+ games. Many 2020-2022 games are fine now. I don't use Gamepass at all or cloud so for physical they are pretty reasonable prices like PS4. I never used remote play on it still I need to. I have PS4 a fair amount on Vita and phone. I need to use the Xbox remote play at some point. Enjoyed it on PS4/Wii U Off TV play and the entire dual screen idea of Wii U. RIP SmartGlass as second screen before remote play I assume it got better morphed into on Xbox. But still. I hate the lacking Windows 8 like features people TV TV over or SmartGlass in favour of social features I don't care for but I use my Xbox One as a Blu ray player over a PS3, back compat and select Xbox One games. People forget Fuse or Song of the Deep were on Xbox One, but may Sunset Overdrive even if it's on PC. Sunset is fun. I hated the dialogue at first but loved it on a replay and went nope I need to finish this the gameplay, the tower defence, the rail grinding, it's not Scaler on PS2/Xbox/GameCube rail grinding speed or obstacles but it's still cool. Weapons are fun and perks are fair. Its one of my preferences of open world design then the formulaic ones I prefer platformer ones or more interesting side missions. The lack of Project Gotham Racing made me go eh Forza Motorsport 5-7 and Horizon just don't cut it. I played PGR1-4 in 2020 and loved them. Forza Motorsport 1-4 too but 5-7/Horizon 1-5 don't do it for me. No interest in any Horizon game personally. Played 1 and 3 little bit and don't like them. Played Burnout Paradise didn't like it either. But played a fair bit of it. Prefer the other Burnout games more. Layouts of streets are more fun then the open world and fair tasks but not as fun or eh races and lacking events even old circuit racers do better. It's a fair console. I prefer OG/360 more. More exciting games but still the Xbox One has some fair titles. I don't find PS4 2016+ direction of cinematic games exciting only Gravity Rush or Knack 2 or Dreams. Very select gameplay focused titles. In 2017/2018 I got a Vita and Wii U and went full Nintendo consoles I missed besides third parties on PS4. Even Xbox One I went third party mostly. Sure I owned State of Decay 2, I own Crackdown 3 and Forza Motorsport 6&7 later then when they came out. Quantum Break even. I haven't started Crackdown 3 but I am open minded having never played the series but enjoying Infamous or Sunset Overdrive. Same with Driver people hate the 3DS game it was my first before San Fran but I'm open minded. One X you notice the enchantments. The Kinect is fine for Just Dance or certain games. Some launch titles use Kinect in some ok ways but it's a fair non gaming peripheral in other industries for tracking people in medical or other use cases. I agree the TV and media focus is a bit much and the COD/sports focus. I don't like Forza Motorsport 5-7, 6 is the worst to me. 5&7 are fair games but not strategically fun just more dumbed down then past entries event variety and less car candy per level. Halo 5 is a fair game, weak story but fair levels. Even 2 balanced the Arbiter and Chief 5 didn't with Locke too much. Blue team were more exciting like Reach's squad you follow. Gears 4&5 was better. Sunset Overdrive is great. Ryse is good if you want God of War or Hellblade but in Rome in terms of camera and hack n slash elements of a certain amount. Not 1 to 1 they do differ but Godhand has a similar cameras put further back and more moves. So these cinematic games too close to the character bother me. Crytek tried but it got annoying fast. I may keep trying but yeah like Order 1876 I get what they were trying to do but it lacked in areas. I replayed 1886 last year few a month ago. Rare Replay is great. ReCore is underrated. Love that game. Not perfect but still fun. Lucky's Tale is on other platforms and better camera and more content but the Xbox One version is fair. A fair platformer. For a VR to Xbox One to refined later for the other platforms. Demon Turf is Series and Xbox One but physical is good there. Yes it's on other platforms but it's digital only. Xbox physical which is a surprise but a good platformer. The Xbox One for first party are they impactful no, fun in some yes, is it a good third party console if you don't focus on the VCR one then yes One S and One X are good for them. I have played a fair few on it from time to time. Didn't play much of Psychonauts 2 it's a good game though just need to get back to it. We Happy Few is also good in its concept not sure enough about the gameplay as much.

I miss xbox one era 😭😭😭😭

I have an xbox one elite and its👌

You can get a Series S for 150€ on a good day. Don't go for the xbox one unless your budget is very tight.

Tragically, these games - while backwards-compatible on current Xbox Series consoles - are not at a higher resolution/higher frame-rate. Imagine how more amazing would Sunset Overdrive play running at 4K60 or Ryse running at 4K.

PS4 is still probably better by comparison since the internet isn’t always guaranteed to work all the time. I won’t give Xbox One any praise for all of their games being super cheap because that’s just the crappy economy right now. But it is nice to be able to get almost any game for half the price or maybe $2 for Titanfall 2 at GameStop. Now if Xbox Live was free like PS3’s PSN and offline gaming functionality was a lot better with guaranteed disc installations so I can play the games I own, then I could recommend it 100%. If you do get anything from Xbox, I would recommend the controller since it’s built like a brick and works on almost anything through bluetooth. Frankly I’m not opposed any which way, and it does have its uses like playing Xbox 360 and being cheap. Better luck with Series X I guess. I’m still going to pirate stuff on pc.

I mean I bought a series s but still got my one x can't part with it lol

I think everyone should own an xbox one in 2024.

Hogwarts Legacy was a nice surprise to come by to the XBOX one

I’ll be honest, the Xbox One had a pretty strong launch lineup compared to the Series X. Had its marketing not left such an abysmal dent on its success, it would have nearly stood toe-to-toe with the PS4 in sales. Fast forward to present day, and Xbox marketing remains a mess. Game Pass is just not reeling as much customers as it once did when it launched, and the Series consoles are struggling both in stock and advertising. Makes me wonder if Microsoft has any faith left in Xbox? I can hope that’s not the case…

Dude….stop dropping your voice dramatically low at the end of sentences. Good video and had some good areas 3-5 minutes especially, when you talked faster and didn’t linger on the the last word of sentence…well, until “…Xbox oneeeeeee”…..then “…well worth whilllllllllllle” lol Good info though!

Yeah man titanfall 2 is such a sic game but it really sucks how dam short the campaign is tho It should be at least twice as long as it is And it's super cheap how they actually count the TUTORIAL as one of the missions lmfao

3:48 and he finally stops rambling and gets to the list.

Your video makes no sense. You can buy everything and play it on the new system Xbox series X might as well play it on there runs a lot better looks a lot better loads a lot faster everything not only that they’re gonna start turning off certain things for Xbox one in the first place pretty soon at least that’s what Microsoft is saying no longer updates because the dashboard does have to be updated on there too and it’s hard to keep that system going when they do have the new systemsall your games and everything like that would still work but no new updates for it which means no more of the new games that come out because they’re already stopping that too so recommend just buy the new system in the first place. It can play everything.

I still play the one x

My thing is once microsoft went all digital online play only...i was turned off.....i dont want to play online all the time. Now if i want to multiplay or take advantage of the online DLCs cool....im with it....But most of the time i play offline & PlayStation provides mr that option. What happens of the Internet is down ? What happens wifi is running slow ? Cant play the games unless you download them while online.....thats wack to me...however, some of their games looks interesting..... 🤔🕹️🎮🤔🕹️🎮🤔🎮

I mean they r still making xbox one games along with series s or x so theres no point buying a better xbox if ur happy with the original xbox one

I love Xbox but dont buy a Xbox One, better a Xbox Series X or S 💚

gears 5 is not a xbox console exclusive.

Resident evil 4 remake

I stick to my Xbox one like it better dvd blu ray leave me alone

I know Im maybe the only one but Psychonauts 1 was way better than Psychonauts 2.

I dont think theres a real reason to own a xbox one or ps4. The XsX and PS5 make them obsolete. I can understand if you are giving it to a elderly person that wants to watch netflix but otherwise anything you can play on a xbox one will run on a series x and run it better.

The largest gaming system in the world 😂

Why are you ending your sentences like this though

just buy the series s.

Crap?
