<p>Microsoft has welcomed us into the next generation with the launch of the Xbox Series X|S. A few days before its release, many review sites have already published their thoughts on Microsoft's powerhouse console. </p>

<p>Because of its form factor (on both X and S models) and performance, it's been compared to a PC. Though not wildly original, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-series-x-s-gamespots-console-and-game-reviews/1100-6484194/" title="Gamespot Xbox Series X Review">Gamespot</a> considered it a 'strong foundation' for Microsoft. However, one of the problems that the reviewer posed is the lack of games. </p>

<p>For those planning to get their hands on the latest Xbox console, here’s a list of the games presently available for you to play: </p>
