36 NEW Xbox One Games of 2022

Are you looking for a new game to dive into this year? Fortunately, those on the Xbox One are still in luck. While we might have the latest generation of Xbox console platforms readily available, Microsoft is still supporting the previous generation platform alongside countless third-party studios. We have a few games that we think you should be keeping tabs on in this list. Don’t put too much attention into how these games are ranked. These titles could easily get switched around by the time 2022 wraps, when all of the games are available in the marketplace. Instead, this is just a collection of games that might be worth picking up when they launch.

If you’re familiar with the IP, you know that this is a fast-paced and gore-filled experience. Grave will use his trusty sidearms to blast away enemies. However, you’re also armed with a makeshift coffin that is transformed into a massive melee weapon.

#33 Six Days in Fallujah

• Developer: Highwire Games, Atomic Games
• Publisher: Victura
• Platform: PS4, X/S, XBO, PC, PS5
• Release: 2022

Six Days in Fallujah first was in the works back in 2009, but it was quickly flooded by controversy. Since the game depicted an actual battle that just took place a few years prior, developers ended up in some hot water. The amount of attention and controversy this game received ultimately caused the publisher, Konami, to drop the game entirely. That’s since changed as we’re finally getting this tactical shooter where you’ll commanding a squad. But, again, this does cover an actual event in history, the Second Battle of Fallujah, one of the bloodiest battles to involve American troops since the Vietnam War.

#32 Elex II

• Developer: Piranha Bytes
• Publisher: THQ Nordic
• Platform: X/S, XBO, PS4, PS5, PC
• Release: March 1, 2022

Fans of the first Elex title will have a new game to pick up this year. Elex II will once again see players taking the role of Jax in this action RPG. Here, a new invasion is hitting the planet, and for humanity to stand a chance, you’ll need to get all the different factions to join together. Of course, depending on your actions, you might have some companions leaving your group or even being killed. It’s another open-world experience as well, so there’s plenty of exploration as you battle for your planet’s survival in this post-apocalyptic journey. You can also play through this game if you haven’t picked up Elex, but it might be worth going back to get a bit more backstory to the characters and world.

#31 SpellForce 3 Reforced

• Developer: Grimlore Games
• Publisher: THQ Nordic
• Platform: X/S, XBO, PS4, PS5, PC
• Release: March 8, 2022

SpellForce 3 launched back in 2017, a prequel to the first game release of the franchise, SpellForce: The Order of Dawn. Overall, it’s an RTS title that received an upgraded version back in 2021 for the PC. However, we’re finally getting the game on console platforms in 2022. In this game, you’ll create your own hero and are tossed into a fantasy world. The year is 518, and the Mage Wars have finally ended, with the kingdom coming out victorious. However, this victory is short-lived. There is new chaos among the lands. War-torn towns struggle, refugees seek shelter, and a deadly plague has surfaced. Mages are still being blamed for the land’s downfall since the war ended. Here, players can choose what side to align with, build up a party, and go through an epic journey as you unravel the truth of what’s going on.

#30 The Lord of the Rings: Gollum

• Developer: Daedalic Entertainment
• Publisher: Daedalic Entertainment
• Platform: PC, NS, PS4, PS5, XBO, X/S
• Release: 2022

The Lord of the Rings is getting a significant resurgence this year. We have a brand new premium television series coming out based within the IP. However, alongside it will be the launch of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum. This game will take place well before the events of The Hobbit, where you’re taking the role of Gollum. Unfortunately, we’re still a bit light in terms of information about the game. Still, we know that this is a harsh world for Gollum to live within, and you’ll need to use your wit and stick to the shadows as you attempt to avoid the detection of hostile orcs within the world.

#29 Dragon Ball: The Breakers

• Publisher: Bandai Namco
• Platform: PC, PS4, NS, X/S, XBO
• Release: 2022

Dragon Ball: The Breakers is an upcoming multiplayer game that pins a group of survivors having to escape an area that an enemy is patrolling. It’s quite a bit like Dead by Daylight, in a sense. A single player controls the enemy, in this case, they’ll take control of iconic Dragon Ball villains like Cell. Meanwhile, survivor players have to complete a series of tasks to escape the area. We’re sure that you’ll already be familiar with the gameplay concept. This time we’re just adding in the theme based around Dragon Ball Z IP. Of course, now we’re wondering just how many characters will end up getting added into the mix after launch. If you’re a fan of the IP, this is likely a great party game to play with some friends online.

#28 CrossfireX

• Developer: Remedy Entertainment, Smilegate Entertainment
• Publisher: Smilegate
• Platform: XBO, X/S
• Release: February 10, 2022

Crossfire is receiving a new installment. CrossfireX is set to be a free-to-play FPS title where you’re getting a military shooter somewhat similar to the likes of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The game is gearing up for its release this month, so we don’t have long to wait until 2022 before getting our hands on CrossfireX. However, with that said, there is a campaign attached that won’t be connected to the free-to-play portion of the game. Instead, the campaign will have different operations for players to go through while showcasing why two private military factions are in a conflict. Meanwhile, it’s worth noting that the campaign portion of the game is coming from Remedy Entertainment, while Smilegate Entertainment is handling the free-to-play portion.

#27 Weird West

• Developer: WolfEye Studios
• Publisher: Devolver Digital
• Platforms: PC, PS4, XBO
• Release: March 31, 2022

Weird West is an upcoming title set in the old wild west. Players are taking the role of a hero living through the harsh land. However, during your journey, you’ll find that mythical creatures thrive alongside the lawmen and gunslingers. This is a dark fantasy reimagining of the classic western frontier storyline. You’ll meet different characters and move through the story making decisions that will adapt the narrative. We know that there are five bounty hunters; meanwhile, your actions will have a lasting effect. There’s permadeath here, so you might find some companions will die. This means you’ll have to think carefully about your actions before going into an are guns blazing.

#26 Marvel’s Midnight Suns

• Developer: Firaxis Games
• Publisher: 2K Games
• Platform: PS4, NS, X/S, PC, PS5, XBO
• Release: 2022

Marvel’s Midnight Suns is an upcoming tactical RPG where the game is based around an older 1990s comic book series. Overall, the game focuses on Hydra awakening Lilith, the mother of all demons. It’s an uphill battle to stop this demonic beast from destroying all humanity. Fortunately, one hero could potentially save the day, and that’s The Hunter. An offspring of Lilith, players, will lead a group of Marvel’s toughest heroes as they attempt to kill off Lilith. However, at the moment, we don’t have a specific date attached to the project just yet.

#25 Little Devil Inside

• Release: 2022

In this game, players are taking the role of a hired swordsman tasked with venturing through the world to collect supernatural incidents for a researcher. The game is described to be an open world with exploration and survival. Throughout the game, players will have to cook and acquire resources to keep their vitals up. Meanwhile, they’ll also have different weapons ranging from swords, bombs, and guns. Of course, right now, we’re still waiting on the official release date for the game as it’s only slated to launch at the end of this year.

#24 Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

• Developer: Traveller’s Tales
• Publisher: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment
• Platform: PC, NS, PS4, PS5, XBO, X/S
• Release: 2022

Lego games are always a popular hit as they offer a parody of the source material suitable for all ages. We’ve seen Lego Star Wars games released in the past, but in 2022 we’re getting Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. This game will put players through the entire Skywalker saga with all nine episodes. We know that players can jump between whatever episode they like, but each will carry different iconic moments from the game to play through. Combat was also tweaked since the last Lego Star Wars games were released. You can expect more combos with lightsabers, but you’ll also have blasters and the use of Force.

#23 Sniper Elite 5

• Developer: Rebellion
• Publisher: Rebellion
• Platform: PC, PS4, PS5, XBO, X/S
• Release: 2022

You’re likely already aware of the Sniper Elite franchise, as it’s been around for quite a long time, and a new installment is coming this year. With the new franchise chapter, Sniper Elite 5 will follow the gameplay mechanics and settings that you’re used to with the past installments. Here you’re still battling against Nazis with more focus on taking them out through a high-powered rifle. It’s a very tactical-focused game with a campaign to throw you in different environment locations. These games have always been a solid hit with fans, and expectations are set high for the new game after Sniper Elite 4 launched back in 2017.

#22 WWE 2K22

• Developer: Visual Concepts
• Publisher: 2K Sports
• Platforms: PC, PS4, XBO, PS5, X/S
• Release: March 11, 2022

WWE 2K20 was not a pretty game. There wasn’t much-saving grace from that installment, and it played a major role in the series future. We saw the successor, WWE 2K21, canceled while the studio went back to the drawing board. It was all hands on deck, saving the IP and delivering a game that fans would enjoy. Now, fingers crossed, WWE 2K22 will be that big turnaround for the IP. The overall game should feel familiar with game modes like MyGM and MyRISE making a return. There’s also the 2K Showcase, centered around Rey Mysterio. However, the focus here for fans is that the game is not riddled with bugs and technical issues. The studio had a long time to build this game up after WWE 2K21 was canceled, so there’s hope we’re getting a solid installment. Not to mention that with the current state of WWE’s roster, it will be interesting to see who is officially on the game roster when the title launches.

#21 ExoMecha

• Developer: TwistedRed
• Publisher: TwistedRed
• Platforms: PC, X/S, XBO
• Release: 2022

ExoMecha is an upcoming futuristic science fiction shooter. Players are battling it out in a high-tech suit as you blow each other up, gun down enemies, use heavy machinery like tanks to even massive mechs. It’s a game that looks like it takes inspiration from a wide range of IPs, whether Transformers, Halo, or Crysis. It’s a chaotic gameplay experience from the footage showcased so far, but we’re still waiting on the finer details. Regardless, this game is slated to launch this year, so more info should be heading our way soon.

#20 Dawn of the Monsters

• Developer: 13AM Games
• Publisher: WayForward
• Platform: X/S, PS4, XBO, PC, NS, PS5
• Release: 2022

If you enjoyed the classic massive monster movies or otherwise known as kaiju’s, then Dawn of the Monsters is worth checking out. This game is a brawler where players go through massive monster battles throughout the cities. These creatures have invaded our planet, and now it’s up to DAWN to save the day. The Defense Alliance Worldwide Network has its own set of giant combatants to fight against these beasts. Fortunately, you don’t have to do it alone. A two-player cooperative game mode allows players to battle against these behemoth monsters together.

#19 Grid legends

• Developer: Codemasters
• Publisher: EA
• Platform: PC, PS4, PS5, XBO, X/S
• Release: February 25, 2022

Grid is about to receive a fifth game in the franchise. Grid Legends is an upcoming racing game. You’ll find over a hundred tracks to race through, different circuits featuring Brands Hatch, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Suzuka International Racing Course, among others. Meanwhile, over a hundred different vehicles ranging from touring cars, semi-trailer trucks, drift cars, and even electric vehicles will be available for players to pick through. Players will also find that Grid Legends will have a story mode to go through rather than just racing through different matches.

#18 Skull & Bones

• Developer: Ubisoft
• Publisher: Ubisoft
• Platform: PC, PS4, XBO
• Release: NA

Skull & Bones is a game we’ve been waiting on for a good while now. Initially, this title was unveiled during E3 2017, where Ubisoft stated the game was heading to last-generation platforms and PC. However, development has struggled, and the title has yet to make much of an appearance. Finally, in September of 2020, news came out of Ubisoft, taking Skull & Bones into a new direction, so we’re not entirely sure if we’ll even get this game within 2022. With that said, Skull & Bones was unveiled to be a pirate tactical action game. Players took the role of commanding your ship, searching for loot, battle, and avoiding the law. The game was mainly showcased with players going around the oceans on a ship, so there didn’t look much in terms of freely roaming around on land. But, again, this is what we know of the game before the game developers had found a new vision.

#17 Crimson Desert

• Developer: Pearl Abyss
• Publisher: Pearl Abyss
• Platform: PC, PS4, PS5, XBO, X/S
• Release: NA

Crimson Desert is coming from Pearl Abyss. If you’re not familiar with the developers by name, these are the folks who brought out Black Desert. In fact, this MMORPG was meant to connect with Black Desert, but eventually, the studio opted to make this game another standalone experience. Still, we can likely expect the same fast-paced hack and slash gameplay mechanics with this game when it does release. From what we know so far about Crimson Desert, players are taking the role of a mercenary trying to survive in a harsh world. There are quests to take on, money to be made, and loot to acquire. Although, it’s not a world to easily get through. You’ll find different terrains, each with its own hostile creatures roaming around.

#16 Sonic Frontiers

• Developer: Sonic Team
• Publisher: Sega
• Platform: PC, PS4, PS5, XBO, X/S, NS
• Release: 2022

Sonic Frontiers is the next major Sonic the Hedgehog game coming out, and it will be a bit different. We’ve only seen one trailer for this game so far, but it looks like we’re getting an open-world gameplay experience. Sonic will be exploring this world and its different terrains while battling against the slew of enemies that show up. However, just what all the game will entail remains a mystery at this point. Quite a few fans have compared this game with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but for now, we’re left waiting on the developers to bring out more marketing materials.

#15 Evil West

• Developer: Flying Wild Hog
• Publisher: Focus Entertainment
• Platform: PC, PS4, PS5, XBO, X/S
• Release: 2022

Set in the Old West, there are far more sinister enemies to face in Evil West than the typical bandit gunslinger. In this game, a vampire legion has burst into our realm, and it’s left humanity fighting for their life after these ghouls and bloodthirsty demonic beasts swarm the land. Players are stepping into the boots of an agent who works for a special organization that deals with these unnatural paranormal cases. You’re the last stand essentially to rid this world from the vampire swarm. Using different high-tech weaponry, you’ll duke it out with these critters as you purge America free from these little devils.

#14 Shadow Warrior 3

• Developer: Flying Wild Hog
• Publisher: Devolver Digital 
• Platforms: PC, PS4, XBO
• Release: 2022

The Shadow Warrior has been a wacky FPS experience where players take the role of Lo Wang. Player’s will use a wide range of weaponry from melee katanas to firearms. The Shadow Warrior gameplay is an over-the-top fast-paced, action-packed experience. This time around, Lo Wang is partnering up with Orochi Zilla as an ancient dragon was accidentally awakened, leaving humanity in need of a hero. If you’re a fan of past games, you will find that developers, Flying Wild Hog, have brought in new traversal mechanics. You’ll get wall runs, double jumps, and air dash, along with a grapple hook system to get Lo Wang from one area of the map. While the third installment is coming, this is a franchise that’s best to go back and play if you’re new to the series. There were plenty of references from the first game within Shadow Warrior 2, which might also be a similar case for the upcoming third installment.

#13 Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown

• Developer: KT Racing
• Publisher: Nacon
• Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, XBO, X/S, NS
• Release: September 22, 2022

We don’t have too many details about Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown. Still, we’re finally getting a new Test Drive game. It’s a franchise that first got started back in 1987 and continued to see new games until 2012. It was actually back in 2016 that there was some interest in getting this game franchise a reboot. We know that we’re getting a new open-world racer featuring high-end vehicles from the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, and Bugatti, to name a few. Meanwhile, we’re still waiting on gameplay footage to come out, although we do know that we’ll be racing around Hong Kong Island.

#12 Evil Dead: The Game

• Developer: Saber Interactive
• Publisher: Boss Team Games
• Platform: PC, NS, PS4, PS5, XBO
• Release: February 2022

Evil Dead: The Game is another multiplayer-focused title. In this game, we’re dealing with a group of survivors who has to stop a portal. In addition, we have to stop evil demonic creatures from flooding into our realm, which means completing different tasks. If you’re familiar with games like Dead by Daylight, you would have a better idea of what to expect here. Players are either a part of the survivors, while one player typically leads the demonic invasion. This should be a great party game online, especially if you’re a fan of the Evil Dead franchise. Unfortunately, the game was hit with a few delays as it was intended to launch back in 2021 but should finally hit the marketplace this May.

#11 Saints Row

• Developer: Volition
• Publisher: Deep Silver
• Platform: PC, PS4, PS5, XBO, X/S
• Release: August 23, 2022

Saints Row is a massive video game franchise, and it’s been dormant for a few years now. Fortunately, that’s changing as a reboot of sorts is coming to the IP. The new upcoming Saints Row game will put you into a new location in the American Southwest. Here, you’re following a group of new criminals striving to break through and claim territory. Longtime fans were quite vocal initially when this game was first announced, but the development team is pressing on. We should hear more about what all Saints Row will entail. However, the game is slated to launch this summer, so we should jump back into the world of crime later this year.

#10 Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Extraction

• Developer: Ubisoft
• Publisher: Ubisoft
• Platform: PC, PS4, PS5, XBO, X/S
• Release: January 20, 2022

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six has a new video game release available this year. The tactical FPS game was first introduced as Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Quarantine. However, after the past couple of years, we had to deal with, Ubisoft brought this game back out as Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Extraction. If you’re familiar with Siege, you have an idea of how the gameplay is set up in this title. You’re working with a team, but rather than pinning players against terrorists; you’re dealing with an alien threat. Squads of three are set in to infiltrate a location infested with the alien parasite. From there, you’re trying to complete a series of objectives. First, however, you’ll deal with these alien creatures, using not only firepower but different unique weapons and gadgets as well. For instance, you can use a sensor to see enemies through walls or deploy a holographic image to use as a decoy. Teamwork is key here, like with the past games from the series, so planning out your moves and communication can be key to a successful run.

#9 Destiny 2: The Witch Queen

• Developer: Bungie
• Publisher: Bungie
• Platform: PC, PS4, PS5, XBO, X/S
• Release: February 22, 2022

Destiny 2 fans are getting the sixth expansion into the marketplace this year. Initially, Destiny 2: The Witch Queen was set to launch into the marketplace in 2021. However, the game was pushed back due to the pandemic. This expansion will be centered around Savathûn, the sister of Oryx, the antagonist from Destiny’s The Taken King expansion. Players can expect a new narrative campaign alongside new PvP maps, gear, weapons, and even a raid with the expansion. We’re sure that quite a few fans anticipate this release. However, it might become bittersweet as we know Sony will soon own Bungie. That could mean Destiny will end up a PlayStation exclusive going forward.

#8 Kerbal Space Program 2

• Developer: Squad, Intercept Games
• Publisher: Private Division
• Platform: PC, X/S, PS4, XBO, PS5
• Release: 2022

Kerbal Space Program is a game that had players taking control of these little critters as they built up a space program. A large portion of the game was based on building up rockets. Some players got real creative as well. However, your creations had to launch into space and land without combusting successfully. It’s a difficult challenge, but now the sequel is coming. Developers hope to make the mechanics and build process even easier to grasp. Meanwhile, it’s also bringing out the ability to allow your critters to colonize space. This brings in its own set of obstacles where you’ll gather enough resources to build up structures and maintain your crew’s vitals.

#7 Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands

• Developer: Gearbox Software
• Publisher: 2K Games
• Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, XBO, X/S
• Release: March 25, 2022

Borderlands fans are getting a spin-off game in 2022 with Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. With that said, you don’t have to play the past Borderlands games to enjoy this title. Players here are going through a fantasy title where you’ll follow Tiny Tina through a new D&D style experience. Here you’ll go on a high fantasy adventure full of mythical creatures to battle. But this time, you’ll have more spellcasting and melee focus combat. This is still a gameplay experience that will be aimed at multiplayer focus. There might not be much in terms of guns here, but we can still expect a ton of weapon loot to acquire throughout the campaign.

#6 Gotham Knights

• Developer: WB Games Montreal
• Publisher: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment
• Platform: PC, PS4, PS5, X/S, XBO
• Release: 2022

While we enjoy a good Batman game, Gotham Knights won’t have you stepping into the role of the Dark Knight. Instead, this game has players going through a narrative where Bruce Wayne is killed off. A message gets sent off to his closest allies, Batgirl, Robin, Red Hood, and Nightwing, asking them to keep Gotham City safe. With the Bat no longer in the picture, Gotham is up for grabs as criminal scum heads into the area to claim their piece of the land. Meanwhile, Gotham Knights has players taking each character’s role as they battle off some of Batman’s biggest enemies. However, a new criminal organization force has made its way into Gotham. The Court of Owls is getting their first big video game debut after their appearance in Batman The New 52 comic book series run.

#5 Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

• Developer: Koei Tecmo Games, Team Ninja
• Publisher: Square Enix
• Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, XBO, X/S
• Release: March 18, 2022

Final Fantasy has been around for ages at this point. The video game franchise has continued to thrive over the years. However, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin takes players back to the beginning. Overall, the game is a different take on the first game with inspirations for certain plot points. We’ll get more insight into the Warriors of Light while players are taking the role of a man named Jack Garland. You’ll find Jack is fueled with the need to destroy Chaos, which became quite a meme when the initial trailer came out for this game. Regardless, it looks like we’ll still get an action RPG experience here like the Final Fantasy VII Remake. Although, how this game will hold up against other iconic titles remains a mystery. We’ll be getting our hands on this game within March of this year. Fortunately, it’s not a game that will make you go back to replace the first Final Fantasy installment. But again, this is not a remake of the first title either.

#4 Hogwarts Legacy

• Developer: Avalanche Software
• Publisher: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment
• Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, XBO, X/S
• Release: 2022

Hogwarts Legacy will toss players into the Harry Potter universe. This action RPG takes place before the events of the Harry Potter novels as its set within the late 1800s. Here, players are going through a game where you’re stepping into the role of a newly accepted student to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Within the game, players will get to freely explore the school and nearby grounds, tame mythical creatures, attend classes, along with learning new spells. Unfortunately, information at the time of writing this description is still a bit scarce. Regardless, quite a few anticipated players want to see just what the game will entail and how this connects to the game we lore as we know it thus far.

#3 Atomic Heart

• Developer: Mundfish
• Publisher: Mundfish
• Platform: PC, PS4, PS5, XBO, X/S
• Release: NA

Atomic Heart is an upcoming FPS set in an alternative 1955 timeline. Here the Soviet Union is thriving with technological advances. Players are stepping into the role of a mentally-unstable KGB agent called P-3. Here, the government tasks P-3 to figure out what’s going on with a facility that recently went quiet. Upon arrival, you’ll deal with machines that have gone rogue. You’ll need to gather whatever scraps you’ll find along the way to tweak your weapons further to fight against these enemies, all while scavenging for clues of what happened before your arrival.

#2 Dying Light 2 Stay Human

• Developer: Techland
• Publisher: Techland
• Platforms: PC, NS, PS4, PS5, XBO, X/S
• Release: February 4, 2022

Dying Light has a sequel available in the marketplace. Dying Light 2 Stay Human takes place well after the events from the first game. We’re placed into the role of a new protagonist trying to survive within one of the last few safe havens in the world. We’re still striving to survive the world in this game as it was quickly flooded with the undead. Meanwhile, players are given a far bigger map to explore freely. Likewise, located throughout the map are different factions that you’ll interact with. Depending on your actions, the factions could actually close off parts of the city from you to explore. Meanwhile, the gameplay has been more refined than the first installment. We’re still getting quite a bit of action-packed gameplay with a keen focus on parkour. The world is essentially a giant playground for you to traverse and battle within.

#1 Elden Ring

• Developer: FromSoftware
• Publisher: Bandai Namco Entertainment
• Platform: PC, PS4, PS5, XBO, X/S
• Release: February 25, 2022

Elden Ring is a game that was on quite a few fans’ anticipated 2022 release lists. We’re sure you’re already well informed about the game. It’s the next thrilling action RPG release from the folks at FromSoftware. If you’re not familiar with the studio name, they brought out the Souls franchise, and their next game is another challenging combat experience. With the help of author George R.R. Martin, Elden Ring offers players another bleak, dark fantasy world to go through. We’re getting a large open-world map, loot to gather, and plenty of boss battles to get through this time. Because of the open-world map, players here will have more freedom in how they progress through the game. You might even get a few replays out of Elden Ring, as the title will have multiple endings to unlock.
