Review aggregate website Metacritic has compiled a list of the 10 highest rated Xbox Series X games of 2020. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a single Xbox Series X game that managed to break a 90 average critic rating. However, when one takes the Xbox Series X’s backward compatibility with Xbox One into account, it’s clear that Microsoft’s next-generation console still offers some incredible value. After all, the 10 highest rated Xbox One games of 2020 are all playable on the new console.

The top-rated Xbox Series X game of 2020 was the launch title Tetris Effect: Connected, which earned an 88 rating. Tetris Effect: Connected is a re-release of the acclaimed puzzle game Tetris Effect, which combines classic Tetris gameplay with trippy visuals and bright lights. Tetris Effect: Connected has a bigger multiplayer focus than the original game, and it’s also available to play through Game Pass, making it one of the more popular Series X launch titles.

Here are the 10 highest rated Xbox Series X games of 2020, according to Metacritic:

Tetris Effect: Connected - 88 Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition - 84 Planet Coaster: Console Edition - 84 Assassin’s Creed Valhalla - 84 Yakuza: Like a Dragon - 83 Gears Tactics - 82 Dirt 5 - 81 Immortals Fenyx Rising - 80 NBA 2K21 - 80 Observer: System Redux - 78

With Halo Infinite delayed to 2021, the Xbox Series X didn’t have much to work with in terms of next-gen exclusives. In fact, pretty much every game on the list is available on the Xbox One as well. The Xbox Series X does have the next-gen version of Yakuza: Like a Dragon locked down as a timed-exclusive though, with PlayStation 5 owners having to wait a little later in 2021 to get their hands on the game.

The turn-based strategy game Gears Tactics made its console debut during the Xbox Series X launch, so it was also a significant game for the launch lineup. However, it too is available on Xbox One, with the Xbox Series X having virtually no true console exclusives available for it just yet.

That will change later this month, though, as Bloober Team’s The Medium is set to launch for Xbox Series X as a console exclusive. With that game on the way as well as Halo Infinite later this year, it seems quite likely that the Xbox Series X will have a much better 2021.
