ToggleNHL 23
NHL 23 is a good game for hockey fans that was made and released by EA Sports. It can be played on different platforms and has cross-platform multiplayer, so if you have an Xbox One and your friends have a PS4, you can still play with them. NHL 23 also has a couple of newer features in addition to that cool ability to play on different platforms. One of them is the hockey game between men and women, which is possible because of the IIHF Women’s National Team.
The authors also made customization more flexible, so you can now pick the number of teams, divisions, conferences, and even how your team will celebrate a win. The tools have also been changed, but those who have played the game before can still use the old ones. Overall, though, this is more of a “touch-up” than a complete makeover.
Madden NFL 2018
American football fans haven’t had many good games to play lately, with Madden NFL 2018 still being the best. Madden 2018 also added the “Longshot Mode,” which is kind of like the game’s “Career Mode.” It has a plot that adds more depth to the game.
The Frostbite engine is also a first for the game. It makes the graphics and facial movements in Madden 2018 more realistic. That didn’t work out right away, though, because bugs in the game led to some funny moments and a scoring system that was known for being bad. Patches were made to fix the bugs, which is a good thing.
Tennis World Tour 2
Tennis World Tour 2 is a good tennis game for the Xbox One, but it leans too much toward the “simulation” part, which can make it feel slow for people who prefer a more arcade-like experience. Still, Tennis World Tour 2 has a pretty good Career Mode where you can make a very thorough player avatar.
After you finish Career Mode, online play is fun and will probably take up most of your time. It’s not the most polished, and some people might not like the modeling part, but if you like tennis, this is one of the best Xbox One games for you.
Knockout City
Knockout City is a team-based online game set in the year 2021. Think of Knockout City as baseball on steroids, and you’ll get a good idea of what it’s all about.
Knockout City doesn’t try to keep the fight in a small area. Instead, it goes all in with a crazy premise. Two teams of four players each will be dropped into a city with many levels. Their goal is to kill the other team. In this fun and exciting version of dodgeball. You have to use your mind and skills to get the upper hand on your opponents. The game is also easy to learn, but it will take time to get really good at it.
TheHunter: Call Of The Wild
If you like things that move more slowly and require more planning, a shooting game might be what you’re looking for. TheHunter, which was made by Expansive Worlds and came out in 2016, is one of the best games in this genre. The game is updated and added to all the time. And new maps are added to keep you coming back for harder hunts.
TheHunter: CotW is one of the best, if not the best, hunting game sims you can get for the Xbox One. It has great graphics, realistic weather and animal behavior, and a day and night cycle. Also, you can play the game on your own or with up to eight other people online in a mode called “coop” or “competitive.”
UFC 4
UFC 4 is a good game that gets the essence of this popular and still-growing fighting style. It is the best MMA video game ever made. Since EA Sports made it and put it out, you can expect the usual good and bad things that come with EA games. UFC 4 is a pretty good and fun mixed martial arts (MMA) game that makes up for most of the bad things about EA games.
Fans of mixed martial arts (MMA) only have EA’s UFC 4 to choose from. If they want to play a real fighting game on their game system. The good news is that 8 Ball Pool is a standard for this type of game, at least until another company comes along and challenges them for the title of best MMA game.
NBA 2K17
Even though NBA 2K17 is not the most up-to-date game in this popular basketball game series. It is still the most fun and well-made. The amount of flexibility in NBA 2K17 is way above that of the other NBA 2K games.
Everything about it is as good as it can get for an NBA 2K game from the way it looks to how it plays. NBA 2K17 is a clean and well-balanced game with a LeBron James-like performance that no other NBA 2K game has been able to top.

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2
With the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2 remaster, the first two Tony Hawk games from the PS1 came back in a big way in 2020. These games are probably the best in the series. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and 2 have everything you liked about the first games. They even have the same score, which is full of punk rock and grunge music from the 1990s.
The remaster keeps the original third-person view, arcade-style gameplay. And a mix of old-school and new-school professional skaters to fill out the roster. You can make your own skater and build your own skate park, just like in the first games. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2 is a great trip down memory lane about the half-pipe. And it brings a new generation of gamers to the culture of skateboarding.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2018
FIFA is often thought of as the most popular football video game, but it has become very old and boring. If you want a different game, PES 2018 is the next best thing.

People say that PES 2018 is much better than other soccer games on the market. Because of how smooth the gaming is. Everything about PES 2018, from passes to shooting, feels tight. Also, judges are much less harsh about fouls and penalties, which keeps the game moving quickly and keeping things interesting.
Rocket League
Even though Rocket League is not based on a real-world sport (maybe it should be? ). It is still a very fun, challenging. And competitive multiplayer game that you can play on the Xbox One and other platforms. If you haven’t heard of this hugely popular game from Psyonix that came out in 2015. Rocket League is basically what you get when you mix soccer and destruction derby.
This game was such a big hit that in 2016 it made it into the eSports scene. Rocket League is a fun online game that is still played by tens of thousands of people every day.
