9 Launch Games That Would Ensure Xbox Scorpio's Success

4. Call Of Duty: WWII

Call of Duty is, for the first time in nearly half a decade, going to be relevant again in 2017. Having recorded increasingly poor sales performances as its internal timeline progressed ever forward into a fictional future, Activision has finally seen fit to reign in the wall-runs and drone strikes for a more grounded affair.

Activision will be pulling out all the stops for 2017's return to the series' roots, not least because it represents a make or break scenario for the storied franchise. Infinite Warfare was - and still is - a blast to play, but the future setting just isn't the in thing right now. Battlefield 1 decisively proved that when it slaughtered Infinite Warfare in the charts last year.

How likely it is that Microsoft will trumpet Call of Duty: WWII's praises if it coincides with the Scorpio's release, on the other hand, hinges on whether it wants to claw back the timed-exclusivity rights from Sony for the inevitable DLC.

It's that potential deal alone that sees WWII ranks so high here, but even without it, Activision's latest will surely be prettiest on Scorpio.
