5. BioShock: The Collection

In terms of raw value, as well as narrative weight and solid gameplay mechanics. BioShock: The Collection is a great choice for FPS fans. At the same time, the game may lack the high-octane blood-rushing appeal of multiplayer offerings. However, its approach to FPS gameplay and abilities is quite unique. Players will be able to find themselves enthralled within the worlds of Rapture and Columbia. There is a reason as to why this series has held up to the test of time so well.

The gameplay elements in these titles are strong. But oftentimes, it is the story that truly grips you into these games.

4. Battlefield 4

Now for an entry that, much like our first entry, is a bit on the older side. Battlefield as a franchise, for some, has lost its footing and doesn't resemble games of the past in its current iteration. This is where Battlefield 4 comes in. While initially, upon release, the game was criticized for the number of bugs and lack of polish of the game, over time, this game grew into an FPS masterpiece. Everything from the weapons on offer to the gunplay and how it affects those weapons are top-notch.

Added to this is the beautiful fact that even if you aren't a huge fan of FPS gameplay, vehicles offer you another avenue for success in this game. Now that being said, the multiplayer is definitely the draw of this game, and while the campaign is serviceable, by most accounts, it isn't as good as the Battlefield 1 campaign. If you can overlook this fact, however, players can enjoy hours upon hours of extremely solid gameplay. So if you haven't booted up Battlefield 4 in quite some time, definitely do so, as it is one of the best FPS games on the Xbox Series X|S.

3. Doom Eternal

Our next entry is one that has a ton of pedigree to live up to. Doom Eternal is not only a sequel to 2018's popular Doom reboot but the holder of the Doom legacy. The mechanics in this game allow players to enjoy the most visceral and gory FPS gameplay on the market to date. This is wonderful. And also, this is bolstered by the game's RPG mechanics. A feature that is an inclusion many fans didn't even know they wanted. If you are looking for buttery smooth gameplay and a thumping and pulsating soundtrack, then this game is a must-have for any FPS fan.

If you are unfamiliar with the Doom series and have been waiting to jump in, then this is a great title to pick up. The gameplay is easy to understand yet hard to master. And it allows players to relieve some stress, slaughter some demons, and play with one of the best arsenals in gaming. Players will be able to blast away enemies for hours without ever getting bored. To close, this game is great and anyone who either enjoys the Doom franchise. Or they are simply fans of FPS games and should definitely pick this title up for the Xbox Series X|S.

2. Hell Let Loose

Switching things up considerably, we have an entry that, despite its FPS mechanics being quite different from other entries, is nonetheless fantastic. Hell Let Loose is a team-based FPS that allows players to engage themselves in massive multiplayer battles. These battles take place over expansive maps that have been created with the highest graphical fidelity possible. This means that the Xbox Series X|S will be put through its paces by this game. However, the game's optimization makes it so this game runs buttery smooth most of the time.

The FPS mechanics in the game lean heavily on realism, and if players are shot in the head, they are dead or downed. However, to keep this from being a completely grueling experience, players can bandage and revive one another. Players will have to listen to a chain of command, as well as be crack shots in order to survive intense game and gunplay, so if you are looking for an FPS experience that offers something quite different for the Xbox Series X|S. Then definitely give Hell Let Loose a try.

1. Fortnite

Fortnite is a game that has overtaken the gaming sphere. It has done this not only through its accessible gameplay and presentation but also its extremely solid FPS mechanics. Added to this is the fact that players can essentially turn the game into whatever they want. This is given they have the creativity to do so. This has undoubtedly added to the game in terms of longevity. What started off as a battle royale has not only taken over the battle royale space but expanded into other FPS arenas.

This is wonderful to see and shows that the studio behind the game is committed to bringing its players whatever they wish. For players who are unfamiliar, this game will require players to have an impeccable aim, even at range. Of course, that is if they hope to outmaneuver and outlive their opponents. So if you haven't given this game a try, you definitely should, as it is one of the best FPS experiences on offer for the Xbox Series X|S.
