Horse Games for Xbox Series X & S
Horse games are arriving on the Xbox faster than ever. If you use another system, be sure to check out games for the Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Playstation 5 & Nintendo Switch 2.
The Xbox Series X and its smaller sister the Series S play the same games. The list below covers those made for the two consoles themselves, in the order they came out. They also play every Xbox One game, so the whole of the Xbox One list is open to you as well.
Four new horse games arrived in 2026 alone, and for the first time Windstorm can be ridden on an Xbox.
Riding and stable games

Racing games

Not horse games, but great horses
Some of the best riding on the Xbox Series consoles is in games that are about something else. These are stories for teenagers and adults rather than children, so check the age rating on the box.
Elden Ring (2022)
A hard and beautiful fantasy adventure. Torrent, a ghostly steed with horns, appears when called and can leap twice in the air, which makes crossing its open world a pleasure.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II (2025)
Medieval Bohemia as it really was, without dragons or magic. Henry’s horse Pebbles carries him between towns and into battle, and you can fit her with better tack as you go.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered (2025)
The 2006 fantasy classic rebuilt for modern consoles, horses included, and yes, the famous horse armor is back.
