The 51 Best ARPGs On Xbox Series X/S, Ranked In 2024

From notoriously difficult FromSoft titles like Elden Ring and Dark Souls III to loot-centric dungeon crawlers like Diablo IV, there certainly is a great variety in the best ARPGs on Xbox Series X. Where does the confidence come from in calling these ARPGs the best that Xbox has to offer? It's not only that they were curated using critic reviews and user scores from sources like Metacritic and Steam - it's also that the games are ordered by your votes, making this a community ranking directly shaped by fans of the ARPG genre.

Before jumping into the rankings, let's do some defining to understand why these games are on the list (besides being great games generally). ARPGs are a subgenre of role-playing video games that emphasizes real-time combat where players control their characters' actions directly, as opposed to traditional RPGs that might use turn-based combat or more strategic gameplay mechanics. You'll typically experience character progression by gaining experience points, leveling up, and customizing your characters' skills and abilities to suit your playstyle, while maybe leveling up a little bit as a player as well (looking at you, Elden Ring).

While established titles like Witcher 3 and Skyrim are being included, as they are some of the best the genre has to offer and are playable on Series X, this list emphasizes newer releases that have come out since the console's release in 2020. Otherwise it would just be flooded with older titles that we already know and love.
