I was looking over the total first party releases that won at least 1 GOTY award and… wow. Xbox has had a ton of winners from their studios. I’m also including ABK in here for obvious reasons.
2022: Pentiment (best game ever made) Call of Duty MW2
2021: Forza Horizon 5 Deathloop Halo Infinite Psychonauts 2 Age of Empires IV
2020: Doom Eternal Ori and the Will of the Wisps Flight Simulator 2020 Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2
In the last three years Xbox has released 11 games that have won GOTY awards. I just wanted to take the time to appreciate how much talent the teams at Xbox have now.
2023 will surely add Starfield and Diablo IV with a good chance Hi-Fi Rush gets a couple. Absolutely insane.
