You can check out a list of the 25 games below, but understand that the list is "neither comprehensive nor chronological," and no release dates have been announced. More games are also in the pipeline, and will be announced in due course, the publisher said.

“Our goal has always been to make Xbox One the best place to play games, and that means having a diverse portfolio for gamers to choose from,” Microsoft Studios corporate vice president Phil Spencer said. “We've worked closely with independent developers to bring their own brand of creativity and innovation to the platform and today is just the beginning."
