Project Spark, Sunset Overdrive, Ryse, Quantum Break, ReCore, Scalebound, and Sea of Thieves. 

Aren't those games 2nd party? Just curious...

Sunset Overdrive, Ryse, Quantum Break, ReCore, and Scalebound are all made by third-party developers, which some people call "second-party", thought there technically is no such thing.

Sea of Thieves is Lionhead?  Oh, wait, that's the Rare game, which means it's completely first-party.  Project Spark I believe is made by an internal Microsoft team.
