Just like we did with Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PlayStation 5, even the Xbox Series X | S consoles will have their exclusive list constantly updated. Before starting, however, it is right to make a premise. Within this article you will find all the games that will be released from the end of 2020 onwards, consequently all cross-gen games released at the end of 2020 are also included.
In addition to this, having all the games shared with the PC (the PC has always been considered a separate market) we have decided to catalog the exclusive Xbox Series X|S and PC. Therefore, expect to also see Flight Simulator or Halo Infinite, already expected for Xbox One, but which will receive improvements for Series X|S, but not titles released or coming out before the end of the year (2020) such as Grounded or Tell me Why.
The list will always be updated if new exclusives arrive and above all when some games lose their exclusivity due to their temporality. Our advice is to put the article in your favorites, so as to stay updated on upcoming titles. Later we will also introduce the links for any purchase decisions, so as to direct you to the stores where it will be possible to buy or not a certain title. All games on this list will be on Xbox Game Pass on day one
Xbox Game Studios

In recent years, the Xbox Game Studios have strengthened enormously due to numerous acquisitions, going from 6 teams in 2017 to as many as 32 in 2022. A crazy result that will guarantee, at least for the near future, a series of exclusive level, diversified and especially available in the Xbox Game Pass subscription.
