For a new generation to begin, first another must end. With the PS5 and Xbox Series X now out in the wild, all eyes are turning towards future horizons. But before we all become fixated on what will be Big in 2021 and beyond, GamesRadar+ wanted to take an opportunity to reflect on an incredible seven years of interactive entertainment. As our way of waving goodbye to the PS4 and Xbox One, we have put together a celebration of the 100 best games of the generation.

For GamesRadar's 100 games of the generation list, we've selected what we believe to be the very best of the PS4 and Xbox One era. The games that pushed storytelling and design forward, the titles that best explored our growing infatuation with always-online and live service experiences, and the releases that truly paved the way to future evolution and iteration. Hell, some of the picks were just so much fun we're still thinking about them seven years later.

We will be exploring how key genres have changed and evolved through the PS4 and Xbox One generation in the coming days, so be sure to look out for those features on GamesRadar+ for some additional exploration of the generation, and a few honourable mentions that didn't make the final list. As the Nintendo Switch defies the typical generation divide – launching in 2017 and showing no signs of slowing down now – please be sure to check out our best Switch games article for the highlights of that particular console so far. For now, you'll want to read on for our pick of the 100 best games of the generation, as chosen by the GamesRadar+ editorial team.
