So, if you’re a fan of both the Xbox One and casual games, there’s a chance you’ll like this list.
And some of you may already know some of the games mentioned in this list.
#25. Soda Drinker Pro
- Release Data: Snowrunner Games, 2016
- Genre: Casual » General
While the virtual soda drinking might be the main selling point here, there’s a more fully fledged game hidden within the package.
Also, there’s an interesting experience to be had going through the 100+ levels, but that falls a bit flat due to poor movement.
Overall, Soda Drinker Pro is an excellent joke, but it’s just not a very good game.
#24. Rabbids Invasion
- Release Data: Ubisoft, 2014
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
If you have children with a tendency of hyper-activity, then maybe this is for you.
Don’t expect it to be a quiet passing of time, but if you can handle the noise, it’s probably a good “baby sitter” while you catch a break.
Also, it works with no fuss, which is exactly what you need in a game designed for kids.
#23. Shape Up
- Release Data: Ubisoft Montreal/Ubisoft, 2014
- Genre: Casual » Exercise / Fitness
The arcade-like pixel aesthetics and minigames certainly keep things from getting boring.
By keeping high scores and letting you challenge your friends, as well as tracking weekly workouts, it also gives you more reasons to keep coming back and maintain your routine.
Shape Up definitely won’t be for everyone but this is a good title for those who find exercise boring.
#22. Uno
- Release Data: Ubisoft Chengdu/Ubisoft, 2016
- Genre: Casual » Board / Card Game
Uno makes for a good alternative to the type of fare typically seen on a console.
Despite its simple rules, it remains fun thanks to the decent AI and the community.
It may not be as cheap as the original release was, but if you’re looking for a fun card game on the Xbox One, you can’t go wrong with Uno.
#21. Dead Island: Definitive Collection

#20. Battleship
- Release Data: Frima Studio/Ubisoft, 2016
- Genre: Casual » Board / Card Game
Battleship is one of the original board games and has managed to stand the test of time over the years.

#19. Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection
- Release Data: Ubisoft Montreal/Ubisoft, 2016
- Genre: Casual » Compilation
While the trilogy is starting to show its age, this is unquestionably the best way to experience it if that’s something you want to do.
Some minor visual flaws aside, each installment of Ezio’s story is present and intact here, and having them all in a single package is an incredible amount of game for your money.
#18. Drawful 2

#17. Zumba Fitness World Party
- Release Data: Zoe Mode/Majesco, 2013
- Genre: Casual » Exercise / Fitness
If you are not interested in dancing or fitness games, odds are Zumba Fitness World Party will not appeal to you, but if you have an affection for either of those genres, the Kinect does an excellent job of delivering on that promise.
Simply put, Zumba Fitness World Party is a lot of fun.
#16. Batman: Return to Arkham
- Release Data: Rocksteady Studios/Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, 2016
- Genre: Casual » Compilation
Batman: Return to Arkham isn’t the greatest ever remaster, but it offers excellent value and the gameplay of both Asylum and City still hold up.

Objectively The Disney Afternoon Collection is quite the value and Capcom has given gamers quite the appetizing package, whether you’re familiar with Capcom’s retro Disney games or not.

Hand of Fate comes so close to being something really special – an unexpected innovation of genres and ideas that meshes together to create a really fun experience that’s both involving and rewarding, at least in short bursts.

#8. Mega Man Legacy Collection
- Release Data: Digital Eclipse/Capcom, 2015
- Genre: Casual » Compilation
It may not have as many games as the decade-old Mega Man Anniversary Collection, but Legacy Collection is a much better effort when it comes to overall presentation and ensuring that each game is reproduced faithfully.

#4. Metro Redux
- Release Data: 4A Games/Deep Silver, 2014

The bleak and desolate world of Metro is surprisingly fun to explore, and looks even better than before in this remastered version.
