Microsoft and its studios achieve the best Metacritic ratings for 2021

Gaming News Microsoft and its studios achieve the best Metacritic ratings for 2021

To define this rating, Metacritic uses a scoring system that takes into account the number of games available, the average meta score for the same games, and the works that received a “poor” or “excellent” rating (requires a meta score of 90). . Referring to all this data, we get the following top 10 :

• 1. Microsoft/Xbox Games Studios : 87.4 points
• 2. Sony : 81.3 points
• 3. Modest games
  : 80.9 points
• 4. Activision Blizzard : 80.6 points
• 5. Bethesda Softworks : 80.2 points
• 6. Capcom : 80.6 points
• 7. Bandai Namco : 78.5 points
• 8th. SEGA : 77.6 points
• 9. Electronic Arts : 78.3 points
• 10 505 games : 75.7 points

For the year 2021, Microsoft and its partner studios therefore win the award for the best publisher. With 87.4 points, the Redmond company moved from 6th place in 2020 to the top of the podium. Users have therefore celebrated several titles such as the immersive Microsoft Flight Simulator, the exciting Forza Horizon 5 or the excellent Psychonauts 2.

As far as Sony is concerned, second place is honourable, but Destruction AllStars sealed the Japanese publisher’s ranking with 62%. For its part, Nintendo is only in 14th place because the year 2021 did not produce any emblematic games (despite the excellent Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury and Metroid Dread) that would have allowed it to reach the top 10. As far as French from the point of view of the publishers, Ubisoft obviously could not convince everyone with Far Cry 6 and Riders Republic and ranks 19th.
