Choosing among four current-generation Xbox Series X games comes down to what you want from a play session. The set includes an NFL simulation, a Japan-inspired open-world racer, a large-scale online shooter, and a crime-and-racing sandbox. All four are listed as brand-new, factory-sealed physical discs, but they separate clearly by price and intended style.
Quick take
When you put these four current-generation Xbox discs side by side, the decision is really about play style. Madden NFL 27 is the sports sim and the most expensive of the four. Forza Horizon 6 is the racing pick and sits mid-range. Hell Let Loose Vietnam is the large-scale online shooter, also mid-range but below Forza in price. GTA 5 - Grand Theft Auto V is the least expensive and a broad crime-and-racing sandbox.

Product notes
Madden NFL 27 (Xbox Series X)
Madden NFL 27 is the sports-simulation pick. It comes from Electronic Arts, carries an E for Everyone rating, and fits the current-generation Xbox physical-disc lineup. It is also the highest-priced game in this four-disc set, and that top price is the main trade-off. If you want a specific NFL title in physical form and are willing to pay the most of these four, this is the direct match. If you are still deciding between genres, the price is the big reason to slow down and confirm that sports is what you will actually play.
Hell Let Loose Vietnam (Xbox Series X)
Hell Let Loose Vietnam sits at the mid-range price and is built for large-scale online play. The physical disc supports 1-100 player matches, cross-platform play, 4K Ultra HD, and up to 60 FPS. It also requires an internet connection, an Xbox subscription, an initial content download, and at least 30 GB of storage, with an ESRB Mature 17+ rating. That makes it a strong fit for players who already have a group to coordinate with, but a less obvious pick for offline single-session play. The setup requirements are the concrete limitation: you need a solid connection and the patience to download before your first match. If that setup works, the large-scale combat focus is the reason to choose it.
GTA 5 - Grand Theft Auto V (Xbox Series X)
GTA 5 - Grand Theft Auto V is the least expensive of the four and the most genre-mixed. The package includes a manual, and the game spans shooter, crime, role playing, casino and cards, and shoot 'em up content. That mix gives you a large open world, but it also means the experience is not focused like a dedicated military shooter or pure racer. If you want the lowest listed price in this lineup and a crime-and-driving sandbox with online playability, this is the one. The trade-off is expectations: do not come to it looking for the specialized online battles of Hell Let Loose or the racing sim focus of Forza. Those games each do one thing; GTA 5 does many things at a lower listed price.
Forza Horizon 6 (Xbox Series X)
Forza Horizon 6 is the racing pick and carries a mid-range price in this group. The game places you in a Japan-inspired open map with city streets, docks, industrial districts, and varied biomes, with over 550 real-world cars and customizable garages. If driving and exploring an open road are your main play sessions, this is a strong match in the four. The limitation is price positioning: it costs more than the two lower-priced discs while offering a much narrower genre focus than the crime sandbox. If you already own a racing game, the extra cost is harder to justify; if this is your first current-generation racing title, the car list and locations give you plenty to work through.
Final recommendation by use case
For a sports simulation night, Madden NFL 27. For Japan-inspired driving and car upgrades, Forza Horizon 6. For coordinated online firefights with a regular group, Hell Let Loose Vietnam. For the lowest listed price and a broad crime-and-racing sandbox, GTA 5 - Grand Theft Auto V.
