Gaming Hierarchy: Xbox Series Tier List Unveiled

Microsoft's Xbox Developer Direct has generated considerable excitement for the future of Xbox and its first-party studios. But which Xbox game franchises resonate most strongly with players? This tier list considers series associated with Xbox, Bethesda, and Activision Blizzard (requiring more than one entry). Note: This isn't exhaustive; some series are omitted for reasons of current relevance and historical impact.

Here's one possible tier list, reflecting personal preference and enjoyment:

This particular ranking places Doom in the S-tier, citing the recent entries as exceptional first-person shooters. The Forza Horizon series also receives an S-tier ranking, praised as among the best racing games ever created. Halo, while acknowledged for its classic campaigns (Halo 2 and 3), is placed in the A-tier due to perceived inconsistencies in more recent installments. Personal preference favors Fallout over Elder Scrolls.

This is, of course, subjective. Do you believe Gears of War reigns supreme? Is Fuzion Frenzy a hidden gem? Share your own Xbox game series tier list and explain your choices in the comments below! Let's discuss which franchises deserve recognition and why. Are there any notable Xbox series missing from this discussion that deserve a mention?
