Regardless, we’re left to mostly look toward multi-platform titles when considering our Xbox Game of the Year. (If we want to get really petty, we could go full console wars with the realistic prediction that PUBG will sell better on Xbox than anything on our PS4 Game of the Year list.) And Xbox will end the year the strongest with the release of PUBG. Despite releasing on Steam too, Cuphead was known mostly as an Xbox title. It being a non- Gears of War and non- Halo year mixed with that Crackdown delay certainly made Microsoft’s release schedule feel sparse.īut also, it’s not that sparse - especially not in recent months. It’s too bad because the X really is an impressive piece of hardware. The Most Powerful Console Ever launched without a day-and-date exclusive apart from Super Lucky’s Tale.

What makes it extra weird is that this was the year of the Xbox One X. (Also, ignoring the fact that all Xbox games come to Windows 10 too because that’s how the Microsoft ecosystem works now.) But, there’s no tiptoeing around the fact that hardly any of them came exclusively to Xbox, which is all that most people really keep tabs on.

What a weird year for Xbox, right? The past 12 months were filled with a lot of incredible games, and a bunch of them came to Xbox.
