10) ARK: Survival Evolved
Most Popular Xbox Games
This action-adventure survival game from Studio Wildcard officially released last August, but it’s been playable through the Xbox Game Preview program since December 2015. ARK: Survival Evolved leaves players stranded with nothing on an island, forcing them to hunt, craft, and build their own shelter to survive. The island has plenty for players to work with, which is good considering the large number of predatory animals on the island, including dinosaurs. The good news is ARK lets players tame many of the animals, allowing them to be commanded.
Flying a Pterodactyl is fun, but be on the lookout for other players if you’re in multiplayer as they may try to kill you, and they might have much better equipment than you and your dinosaur pal. The crafting and building elements of the game are highly fleshed out with hundreds of items to craft from soap to a rocket launcher and many creative options for building the fortress of your dreams.
