r/XboxSeriesX on Reddit: Suggestion for good open world game I can sink some hours into
February 18, 2024 -

I’m looking for a new game to play, and would like suggestions for a good open world game, ideally FPS but third person is okay I guess. My recent favourites have been FO76 and the Far Cry series, and for third person I enjoyed Velheim (although more the survival aspects, not so much the monsters).

I do want to play Fallout 4 but am waiting for the rumoured next gen upgrade.

Ideally something open world or at least a very large map so I can sink some hours into the game.

I prefer my weapons to be guns, not swords etc.

Bonus if it is on GamePass or not too expensive 😂

Thanks for any suggestions!

Recently got a series x, researching games to check out. Curious to see what y’all recommend these days. Have played Witcher 3, would absolutely revisit (and likely will). Saw cyberpunk, mafia looked interesting…

I am looking for massive massive open world games which released in past 3-4 years. Where you can forget main story and just explore new area and build your character, like Skyrim, witcher 3, Fallout 4. I am sure Elden Ring and Starfield are that kind of game. Is Cyberpunk that massive like Fallout 4? Also not sure about Hogwart Legacy.

Just got an Xbox series X for my birthday 🥳 What are the greatest games to play on the Series X ?

Have not played Xbox in a decade so out of date.

Have enough for two games what are the best games to play on the Series X

Update:

Wanted to say thanks to everyone who gave recommendations. Went with a physical copy of Clair Obscura Expedition 33. Digital got Witcher 3, Psychonauts 2, Yakuza Like a Dragon and Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2.

A lot have suggested waiting for the Christmas sale. So saving what I have left for then and see what deals there will be.

Thanks again such amazing recommendations and games and thank you for including me in the Xbox community.

February 16, 2019 - Literally. ... Assassins creed Valhalla. Absolutely beautiful on the series x ... Some people don’t like it but Immortals Fenyx Rising is pretty great looking especially if you have a nice monitor.

February 2, 2022 -

Hi everyone! I’m looking for an open world xbox game primarly about exploring and/or fighting, rather than managing a large inventory. I don’t like bethesda games for instance, despite being good games I get so tired of all the planning, resource management, selling to vendors etc. Indie or AAA does not matter, and it’s a plus if the game is pretty to look at or has an interesting aesthetic. Hope you guys have some tips!

r/xbox on Reddit: Advice on open world post apocalyptic game Need to get back in to Gaming
October 29, 2025 -

I stopped playing video games when my first daughter was born. I used to love playing the world at war call of duty game but dad duties called and over the last 17 years things got busier and busier . I want to get back to gaming casually and would love to start with a game that is somewhat of a post apocalyptic open world game with great first person shooting but also good options on building my own blogs and things like that. I tried the fallout game that came out a few years ago but the shooting portion was so bad for me . I hated it. Any recomendations? Thanks

February 3, 2025 - While you can play through the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance if you wish, if you have an Xbox Series X or S you might want to jump straight in this sequel, which is simply bigger and better. Put in control of a bodyguard called Henry, you’ll find yourself let loose in a world that is hostile and reactive to your choices and actions. And while you can push on with the game’s story if you wish, it pays to explore, take things at a steady pace and develop your abilities in any way you can.

Best Open-World Games Where You Start with Nothing
November 29, 2025 - 3DS, Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Wii U, PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PS Vita, Xbox One, Xbox 360 ... As if it could be anything else. It's hard to overstate the immense impact Minecraft has had since its launch, revolutionizing indie gaming, survival gaming, and the kinds of games studios would make for over a decade. Due to its procedural generation, the player is always placed in an unknown world, and starting with nothing but simple hands willing to beat wooden blocks out of trees, they need to figure out how to survive.
