Xbox games

The notable titles, drawn from 989 Xbox releases in our archive, plus when it reached the UK and what its games are worth today.

In the UK UK: 14 March 2002, £299.99

Microsoft's first console was the outsider at £299, a big black box that landed against Sony and Nintendo's established names. What set it apart was under the lid: a built-in hard drive and PC-grade power, plus Xbox Live, which brought proper online console gaming to British living rooms. Halo did the rest, becoming the reason a lot of people bought one at all. The games below are the defining titles, and boxed originals and rarer releases are gaining collector interest.
