The 12 Best Zombie Games for Xbox Series X|S
Who wouldn’t want to shuffle, walk, and trudge through a disgusting world full of the undead? While zombie game aficionados and lovers alike usually have a lot of good choices in PC and PlayStation consoles, owners of the Xbox Series X|S don’t necessarily have enough good options to choose from.
If you have an Xbox Series X|S and don’t have other consoles, you’ve come to the right article to satisfy your zombie game fix. Whether you’re here for a fun and good time or a purely horrifying experience, the range of the games here is wide. And if you aren’t looking for a single genre of zombie games, that’s alright, because we’ve also got some open-world games for you as well.
12. The Last of Us
Who would’ve thought playing in a setting full of zombies could feel so emotional? Probably everybody who has played The Last of Us series, but also those who have invested a significant amount of time playing through The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series. It’s not the newest zombie game on Xbox Series X|S, but it’s a cult classic that every zombie-franchise lover needs to play at least once.
Good news for anyone who didn’t get enough of the movie. Saber Interactive produced its own take on the film’s setting with its own game in 2019. Just keep in mind that it’s not solely a shooting game; it’s a mix between combat and adventure elements while significantly expanding the movie’s universe through its story told from different perspectives.
11. World War Z
Good news for anyone who didn’t get enough of the movie. Saber Interactive produced its own take on the film’s setting with its own game in 2019. Don’t get us wrong, the game is incredible, but if you mainly play games from the first-person shooter genre, you really need to try World War Z. It’s a must-play, especially if you’re lamenting over the fact that The First Purge movie got canceled.
Part of this game’s strength is its variation in settings and how a global zombie pandemic would look in different parts of the world. Its difficulty also doesn’t disappoint, as it aims for something like the DayZ experience. While not a game like DayZ that focuses solely on the realistic zombie apocalypse, it offers a high level of realism when it comes to facing hordes of the undead.
10. Left 4 Dead 2
Most likely gave you nightmares as a child, Left 4 Dead 2 is a classic zombie-chases-you game that – believe it or not – many console players consider better than its third and final sequel. Now it’s your turn to judge and see for yourself if it deserves a spot on your gaming shelf.
The game is set in the American Midwest wasteland, where a group of people – each one with a unique skill – travel through while fending off wave after wave of hungry zombies. Just like the first one, you’re on the lookout for safe houses in order to prepare for the impending doom. But, you’re not the lone survivor this time around, the other three characters you play with are just as vulnerable as you are.
Left 4 Dead 2 for Xbox Series X|S is just like the original in that players travel through levels that are zombie-infested. While in the first game, you and your team of survivors found refuge at hospitals and other safe spots, this one encourages a wild escape through many haunted locations. The sequels also have special infected types and a constant sense of doom.
