It’s hard to believe, but it’s been almost 23 years since the launch of the original Xbox! The console’s debut came right off the heels of SEGA throwing in the towel in the console market, thus making room for a new competitor for Nintendo and Sony’s six-generation systems. It was truly a bold move and one that came with value.
Despite its ups and downs, the brand has released some incredible titles that have defined an entire generation of gamers. There’s a reason why classic Xbox games are still being ported to modern-day consoles: they’re simply the peak of gaming.
Some Classic Games to Try Out this Summer
Let’s take a look at 5 classic games that still hold up today and can be enjoyed at any time.
5. Lost Odyssey
WhenLost Odysseywas released way back in 2007, it managed to shatter all experiences and stand out as a real competitor to theFinal Fantasyfranchise.

It’s more of an old-school RPG, but it still manages to do a lot of modern RPG titles. Despite being published by Microsoft, we don’t see the title on Game Pass! However, you can pick up the game at a low price as it tends to go on sale frequently.
4. Call of Duty 2
You’ll probably be surprised to know thatCall of Duty 2was one of the major exclusives back in the day! Even before Microsoft’s recent acquisition of Activision, the two companies have a long relationship.

Since it was launch title, it doesn’t have a phenomenal or game-changing multiplayer element like the future games. However, it features a campaign that brings arguably the best WW2 experience and immerses you right into the war.
3. Forza Horizon 4
It’s a known fact that exclusives for the newer generation of Xbox consoles are rare in the all-time department, butForza Horizon 4manages to check all the boxes.

It’s one of the greatest and best-looking race games of all time that has managed to outdo Sony’sGran Turismoseries.It’s sad to see that the game is getting removed from digital stores soon. Let’s hope that the publishers can give us a similar experience to that of the previous entries.
2. The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
This is another game you would have never guessed was an Xbox exclusive.The Witchertrilogy is perfect,but many gamers have only experienced the third installment.
TheWitcher 2, being right in the middle chapter, sets up a lot of events ofThe Witcher 3and flows fantastically if you experience one right after one. While it’s not as massive asTheWitcher 3, it still delivers an adventure that can’t be forgotten. It’s a must-play RPG!
The originalHalowas a phenomenal success and changed the brand’s trajectory, unlike other games. Its sequel,Halo 2, managed to shatter all expectations and surpass the original game.
It’s still regarded as one of the best FPS campaigns in terms of level design, fun factor, music, and, most crucially, story. The game’s multiplayer was the first of its kind and was quite literally game-changing. Its impact is still seen today in modern games.
