Sad about not finding Armored core 6 anywhere. As for Starfield, I have yet to play it but the reception is a lot weaker than all of the others games so I am not too surprised. With all of their games in the pipeline it will probably be the last year that Xbox has without a nomination. Unless they got more Redfall failures waiting to happen, but I can't see Xbox letting that happen ever again.

So this thread isn't about which games are nominated, but about a particular game not being nominated. Ok....

I agree in most part with the nominees. I'm in the minority, but Mario Wonder didn't do much for me. I also only played for about an hour so maybe it gets really good.

Not a single xbox first party game for game of the year.

Sony just needed that one game.

It didn't deserve to be, talos principle 2 snub though.

I am surprised it isn't though, games media especially the warriors like jezzy doo doo pants were pushing that game extremely hard as the best game ever made since launch

Probably no one would have believed it last year but 2023 has been a year filled with great games and Starfield turned out only decent.
So it has no place in such list.
