Vote up the simulation games that you play the most.

When it comes to good simulation games for Xbox One, there is a pretty good amount of variety. For that reason, we're ranking the best Xbox One simulation games, with the help of your votes. 

One of the best Xbox One sim games about running your own world is Jurassic World Evolution. Released in 2018, this take on conventional strategy construction games allows you to run your own Jurassic Park and see how you can fair as a park owner. If you've never played I Am Bread, it's a must-play simulation game for any Xbox One owner, simply for the laughs it will provide. Other options include The Escapists, The Sims 4, and Elite: Dangerous.

Not every simulation game on this list is an Xbox One original - take Fallout Shelter for example, which came out in 2015 for mobile. However, all these simulation games are currently available on the Xbox Marketplace, regardless of release date. Vote up your favorite simulation game for Xbox One, or simply use this list as a recommendation guide if you're looking for more titles to play.
