10 Best Xbox Series X Games (So Far)

10. Twelve Minutes

An engrossing and tightly written thriller from the mind of veteran game artist Luís António, Twelve Minutes is an indie gem that’s currently only available on Xbox and PC.

The premise is genius in its simplicity. A time loop mystery that takes place over a period of – you guessed it – 12 minutes, this title sees players take on the role of an unnamed husband (James McAvoy) as he returns home to his small apartment where his wife (Daisy Ridley) has a special meal and surprise waiting for him. Moments later, however, an assailant (Willem Dafoe) breaks into the house and, after a heated confrontation, kills the husband at which point the loop resets.

It’s up to players to use the limited items at their disposal to gain new information to solve the overarching mystery. And once the first of many hard-hitting revelations are uncovered, Twelve Minutes ventures into the kind of captivating and gut-wrenching tale that only be told as a video game.

Available on Game Pass for Xbox One and Series consoles, Twelve Minutes optimisation for the newer generation of consoles means that it will play best on Series X consoles.
