This year we have our favorites that, with your votes, came to fruition in the 2023 Xbox Community Awards
To end a crazy year full of great video game masterpieces, we decide to party in a big way. To do this we have the Xbox Community Awards 2023, where we have made a list of the titles that we liked the most this year. This list is made up of the votes of the members of the editorial staff, but we have also added the votes that you yourself have proposed to us these days in the form. Without a doubt, very close nominations in several of the categories that we present to you and that we show you below. Thank you very much for your participation!
GOTY XBOX 2023 COMMUNITY
ALAN WAKE 2 (140 POINTS)
2nd place: Hi-Fi Rush (113 points)
3rd place: Starfield (101 points)
Sam Lake was crowned with his psychological horror proposal which dazzled fans and skeptics of the saga. Alan Wake 2 has everything to be a deserved winner: story, setting, playable elements and stunning graphics. Despite the controversy caused by its lack of physical edition, Remedy Entertainment has managed to capture the hearts of users.
BEST ACTION/ADVENTURE GAME
ALAN WAKE 2 (133 POINTS)
2nd place: Hi-Fi Rush (132 points)
3rd place: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (88 points)
This is a clear example of the importance of your decisions. Although Tango Gameworks’ musical submission topped the qualifiers, it was your votes that decided that writer Alan Wake’s latest adventure would win the prize by just the slightest difference. Without a doubt, a very tight category and full of contenders.
BEST RPG GAME
STARFIELD (179 POINTS)
2nd place: Diablo IV (100 points)
3rd place: Sea of stars (89 points)
Bethesda’s Space Odyssey also has its recognition and takes first place as a role-playing game. The possibilities it offers are enormous, whether in the creation of characters, in secondary stories or in the creation of ships to travel the universe. For this and much more, it is getting the recognition it deserves at the 2023 Xbox Community Awards.
BEST SPORTS GAME
FORZA MOTORSPORT (165 POINTS)
2nd place: Forza Horizon 5: Rally Adventure (83 points)
3rd place: EA Sports FC 24 (65 points)
If there was a category where we knew the winner, it was this one. The good work done by Turn 10 Studios is undeniable. And while there is always room for improvement, it alone becomes a must-have for speed enthusiasts. Be careful, if you don’t like simulation, Forza Horizon 5: Rally Adventure is a very good alternative, I’ll leave it there…
BEST INDIE GAME
BLASPHEMIC 2 (115 POINTS)
2nd place: Cocoon (97 points)
3rd place: Sea of stars (85 points)
Penance in this case paid off, and The Game Kitchen’s proposal is the winner among independent titles. One of the most competitive categories, where excellence is the only way to reach the podium. Unless you like metroidvania and challenges, you will be immersed in Blasphemous 2. Watch out for the spikes!
BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT OF 2023
THE LORD OF THE RINGS: GOLLUM (161 POINTS)
2nd place: Red Falls (112 points)
3rd place: Wanted Dead (49 points)
Even if the vampire hunt offered by Redfall was not generally appreciated, we found a lot of unanimity with the adventure featuring Gollum. Lots of laughs and videos of all kinds, the truth is that this poor creature is not doing very well having been separated from the ring for so long. From the Xbox community, we hope for a speedy recovery.
BIGGEST EXPECTATIONS 2024
STAR WARS: OUTLAWS (118 POINTS)
2nd place: Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II (98 points)
3rd place: Fable (71 points)
The fashion train takes hold of us and we comment our best and greatest wishes for the year to come. Well…if we said 2023 was a strong year, be careful with 2024 because it shows the way. It’s watching anything in Star Wars: Outlaws and our eyes sparkle. We already want to sink our teeth into it!
BEST GAME PASS 2023
STARFIELD (146 POINTS)
2nd place: Hi-Fi Rush (108 points)
3rd place: Lies of P (91 points)
Although each of the versions present here has taken control of everyone’s hard drives subscribed to the service, there was only one that reached the heart directly. It may be because of the threshingor the desire to become true explorers of the universe, but the truth is that since the release of Starfield on Game Pass, users have used Game Pass like never before to take advantage of its advantages.
And here are the rewards. On my own behalf (and I believe I speak on behalf of the entire Xbox Community team), thank you so much for being with us for another year. We appreciate all the feedback we receive, whether on the web or on the various social networks we have. Ultimately, this love is the reason that gives us the strength to continue growing and providing you with useful content. We are sure to start 2024 with energy and the desire to face all the releases that our favorite console can offer us!!!
