Console games are gaining more popularity with each passing day. The gaming world is gradually shifting toward the Xbox Series consoles and PlayStation 5, with each renowned exclusive title released on them. Notably, Xbox consoles are home to many exclusive games, and some of these exclusive titles are not even found on the new-gen consoles.
Over the years, Microsoft has launched thousands of Xbox-exclusive games on different Xbox consoles, but with time the hardware updated, but the games are still in the same version. Therefore, new-generation players don’t even realize the gems they are missing out on.
So, this list will point out the top 10 Xbox-exclusive games that need a remake to make them playable on the next-gen consoles.
10. Fuzion Frenzy
Let’s begin the list with a light part-themed game, Fuzion Frenzy. Originally released in 2001, this game can only be played on Xbox (original). This game is an action-based party game where some modes allow players to compete with two or three more players. The game used to feature tournaments where players needed to compete with others at different stages.
Though the game wasn’t a massive hit, it still performed really well, with around 700,000 sales in the U.S. Even players have been demanding to get this game on the new-gen consoles, which Microsoft should definitely consider.
9. Steel Battalion
The next game that needs a remake is Steel Battalion. Released in 2001, this game was only playable on original Xbox consoles. In this game, players have to control an armored mecha, namely, Vertical Tank to complete missions.
This game performed extremely well during the early 2000s, and a Metacritic score of 83 established this fact. However, the game never received a remake, even after players requested it for a long time.
8. Forza Motorsport
Microsoft’s Forza series games are some of the finest racing games that always attract attention. Though the Forza Horizon series is the widely renowned Xbox-exclusive series, Forza Motorsport is another that players love to get once again.
The first game of the series Forza Motorsport was a 2005 simulation racing video game that players can experience on Xbox (original). Though the game received multiple other installments later, this first installment needs a remake to make it available for the new-gen audience.
7. Halo Wars
The Halo series games are massively popular military science fiction games with a massive fan base to enjoy everything about the games, even the Halo 2 LAN Party arranged for them.
However, the series has a long history, and one of the earliest games of the series Halo Wars was released in 2009, exclusively on Xbox 360. This game performed impressively at that time and the Metacritic score of 81 advocates that.
However, later the series got multiple new entries, but Halo Wars never got a remake that players have been expecting to get for a long time.
6. Project Gotham Racing 2
If we go back to the early 2000s, another exclusive game is sure to attract attention, and that’s Project Gotham Racing 2. Released in 2003, this game was an exclusive Xbox game with a Metacritic score of 90. A score that even today’s high-technology games failed to receive. Therefore, this is not only the best racing game in the console’s history, but one of the best racing games of all time.
This game deserves a remake for sure, but Microsoft doesn’t really reveal an intention of bringing a remake version of the game to experience on the next-gen console.
5. Blue Dragon
If you are a turn-based game fan, you must have heard of Blue Dragon, even though you probably never tried it. Well, that is completely understandable as the game was released in 2007 globally and is an Xbox-exclusive game that only Xbox 360 owners can access.
This game is not a massive hit and only got 79 on Metacritic; this is one of the earliest turn-based, role-playing games, which will do well if the developer team considers bringing a remake version of it.
4. Ninja Gaiden Black
Ninja Gaiden Black was one of Team Ninja’s remarkable developments. Given that the original game was ported to PlayStation later, this is the only installment that can be called an Xbox exclusive. Initially, Ninja Gaiden Black was released on Xbox (original) in 2005. Later shifted to Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
However, this game got a Metacritic score of 91, which was huge. Therefore, this is one of the games that must get a remake version to allow new-gen gamers to experience it.
3. Lost Odyssey
While talking about Xbox-exclusive games that must get a remake version, Lost Odyssey can’t be ignored. Globally released in 2008, this game is still accessible to only Xbox 360 players. However, the traditional turn-based battle system of the game has won the hearts of players, which has brought it 78 on Metacritic.
Now that it’s an era of remakes, Lost Odyssey deserves a remake version that every new-generation player can enjoy.
2. Dead Rising 3
Dead Rising is one of the best action-adventure gaming series with loads of widely popular titles to play. Among them comes Dead Rising 3, which was released in 2013 on Xbox One. Since it came, this game has attracted a massive crowd, and the Metacritic score of 78 shows players quite liked the gameplay.
Now that the trend of remaking games is at the top, Microsoft must consider bringing a Dead Rising 3 remake.
1. Fable 2
Fable 2 is one of the Xbox 360’s exclusive games released in 2008. The dynamic world of the game has attracted the attention of players as the game allows free roaming without any pre-set quest paths to follow. The popularity of the game at that time can easily be determined from its Metacritic score of 89.
Therefore, when we are making a list of Xbox games that deserve a release, Fable 2 can’t be ignored.
Despite faults and controversies, Xbox games are currently at a new height, with some of them changing the traditional concept of gaming on these consoles.
