It’s no secret that many of the best Xbox Series X games are shooters. The console was built on Halo, after all, and is still home to all the great FPS franchises. That isn’t all the console has to offer since you also have a large selection of open-world games and RPGs for Series X now, but shooters just feel more at home on Xbox. Since its launch, the library of FPS titles has grown to a level where there are almost too many great options to play them all. If you get hooked on one of the best multiplayer games on the Xbox Series X especially, you may miss out on tons of other great upcoming Xbox Series X games. These are all the best FPS games you can boot up right now.

Alternatively, if you prefer your competitive games a bit more old-school, you can check out the best fighting games for Xbox Series X or best co-op games on Xbox Series X.

If you ever wondered what Doom would look like as a rhythm game, look no further than Metal Hellsinger. It has all the gory, metal visuals of the modern Doom games but forces you to shoot to the beat to be effective. That might sound like it gets in the way of the action, but the two ideas blend beautifully together into a symphony of blood, guts, and heavy metal guitar riffs.
