List of cancelled Xbox games

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of cancelled Xbox video games. The Xbox is a video game console released by Microsoft in 2001. It was the first console to be released by Microsoft. While the platform held its own against Nintendo's competing console the GameCube, it still tracked distantly behind Sony's PlayStation 2. With it being Microsoft's first entry into the video game industry, the Xbox some saw hesitancy to commit to developing games for it, in fear if its potential failure, similar to efforts from Sega and Atari over the course of the decade prior. This hesitancy lead to some game cancellations in favor of its competitors. This list documents all known games that were confirmed for the Xbox console at some point, but did not end up being released for it in any capacity.[1][2][3]
