Throughout the majority of their existence, video game consoles were rarely associated with real-time strategy titles. Over the years, there were a few notable exceptions, but due to the low resolution of older tube TVs and the difficulty of adapting mouse-and-keyboard controls to gamepads, RTS games never gained much traction on consoles. In the last two generations of Microsoft consoles, however, this trend has changed. Today, many strategy games are available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X and Series S. You can explore them in our list of the best Xbox RTS games. Among these titles are console ports of classic PC strategy hits, such as Crusader Kings III, now fully optimized for controller support, as well as numerous multiplatform productions, many created by smaller or indie studios.
