teenage boy xbox game recommendations please?

[SquidgeyMidgey]

Any suggestions please for a newish xbox one game for a 14yo who isn't into the whole Halo/Call of Duty thing please?

We have enough driving games, and would like something a bit different. Amazon keeps pushing me back to shoot em up type stuff and I've lost the will tbh.

Minecraft, any Final Fantasy game, Monster Hunter, Rocket League

Does he like any sports games like FIFA?

Thanks FairyAnn, he's done the Minecraft thing (I didn't realise it was still going, what a cracking money-spinner that turned out to be!) and he has Rocket League. I will look at the other 2. He's not interested in football of any form, but some other sport game might be good, thanks!

My 13 year old plays Humans fall flat, Sea of thieves, Minecraft, Overwatch and apex legends regularly with his friends.

Does he want to play online with friends or on his own?

My Ds is 13 and plays Fortnite because he can guarantee that another friend will be playing it. He seems to favour free/very cheap games from indie developers atm.

On a PS4 you can see what games his friends have been playing and I bet Xbox has this functionality too. It might give you some inspiration.

This is the first Xmas that Ds doesn't have any games that he's after. He'll probably have a ps5 on next year's list so maybe that's for the better. (It's rumoured to be a similar price to a PC so that's one for his loaded Dad to buy)

Monster Hunter is very good.
Maybe some online currency for digital downloads?

Mine like some basketball game (NBA?) that comes out every year.

If he enjoys free games, try Paladins. It is like free Overwatch.

Skyrim

Thanks everyone, some of those look right up his street.

Skyrim, dragon age, minecraft, gears of war, assassins creed, gta, mass effect

GTA for a 14 year old? Seriously????
