The "Top Paid" Xbox charts have been refreshed once again over the past couple of days, and alongside some of the big sellers from the most recent selection of Xbox deals, we've also got quite a few new releases in the mix.
We've mentioned the success of Sker Ritual and House Flipper 2 before, and it's no surprise to see TopSpin 2K25 in here as well. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade has got off to a good start, and there's also a place for the online adventure game Age of Water, which just launched in early access to "Mixed" reviews last week.
Here's what some Xbox owners have been saying about Age of Water so far, which is getting everything from one-star to five-star ratings on the Xbox Store (the average will probably land somewhere in the middle):
DeputyDoofys on Xbox: "Crafting-good, gameplay-outstanding, story-interesting so far, loot system-engaging, graphics-good with cool art style, water physics-excellent, overall game is pretty fun so far, its mostly sailing around and fighting and crafting ships, UI controls could use tweaked a bit."
KingLitoXCIX on Xbox: "Not bad, not great either. Desperate for a multiplayer pirate game? Not a fan of Sea of Thieves or Skull and Bones? Age of Water is worth a try. Its an MMO, they need to cook this some more. No controller invert Y (have to change invert Y through Xbox settings). Enemies see you instantly."
MIGMallard on Xbox: "Not worth $30. feels like a free indie game. Most of your time is spent traveling across the map seeing nothing new or exciting. Not saying its bad. But NOT worth the price. And no you can not leave the ship or share quests in co-op. Was expecting underwater adventures and to be able to explore cities. All you will see is endless water and the occasional rock you can search. Achievements are also stupid impossible to get. Destroy 100,000 ships? Have fun playing only this game for 2 years."
The following games are all classed as "New" releases on the Xbox Store and have made the Top 100 in the current Xbox paid chart in the UK and/or the US. You can check out their trailers along with more information down below.
