The next-gen Microsoft Xbox will have 31 optimized titles at launch

Ahead of the launch of the Xbox Series X and S, Microsoft has now revealed the full list of launch titles for when the console arrives next month.

The whole list consists of 31 games, and 20 of those are Smart Delivery titles (meaning if you already own them, then you will get an automatic and free upgrade to the next-generation consoles).

Keep in mind, that these optimized titles will be able to harness the full grunt of the Xbox Series X and S. There will be hundreds of backwards compatible games at launch (however, they will look and feel the same as playing on the old console).
