Collection: Microsoft Xbox One Games

The Microsoft Xbox One was released on November 22, 2013, in North America, as the successor of the Microsoft Xbox 360. The Microsoft Xbox One competes with Sony's PlayStation 4 and Nintendo's Wii U and Nintendo Switch as part of the eighth generation of video game consoles.

Announced on May 21, 2013, the Microsoft Xbox One has an emphasis on internet-based features, including the ability to record and stream gameplay, and the ability to integrate with a set-top box to watch cable or satellite TV through the console with an enhanced guide interface and Kinect-based voice control.

Following its unveiling, the Microsoft Xbox One proved controversial for its original digital rights management and privacy practices; while Microsoft touted the ability for users to access their library of games (regardless of whether they were purchased physically or digitally) on any Microsoft Xbox One console without needing their discs, and the ability to share their entire library with 10 designated "family" members, all games would have to be tied to the user's Xbox Live account and their Microsoft Xbox One console, and the console would be required to connect to the Internet on a periodic basis (at least once every 24 hours) to synchronize the library, or else the console would be unable to play any games at all. After an overwhelmingly negative response from critics and consumers (who also showed concerns that the system could prevent or hinder the resale of used games), Microsoft announced that these restrictions would be dropped. Microsoft was also criticized for requiring the Microsoft Xbox One to have it's updated Kinect peripheral plugged in order to function, which critics and privacy advocates believed could be used as a surveillance device. As a gesture toward showing a commitment to user privacy, Microsoft decided to allow the console to function without Kinect.

On June 13, 2016, Microsoft announced the Microsoft Xbox One S, a slimmer version of the Microsoft Xbox One, at E3 2016. Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft Xbox, announced Project Scorpio at E3 2016 on June 13, 2016, an addition to the Microsoft Xbox One family, saying it would release in Holiday 2017. At E3 2017, Microsoft revealed the final name of the console to be Microsoft Xbox One X, and that it would start shipping worldwide on November 7, 2017, for a final retail price of $499 USD.
