The release of Metacritic’s 2023 rankings continues, this time focusing on the top 20 for Xbox, in which the absence of Starfield stands out. In short, the Bethesda game did not make it into the top twenty games with the highest average rating on the famous aggregator.
As with the Nintendo Switch rating, the selection criteria were as follows: games must receive at least seven reviews from professional critics in order to be included in the rating.
The results of the Xbox ratings analysis confirm the conclusions made in the Nintendo Switch ratings: so many great games were released in 2023 that the average score for the 20th place in the ratings is an impressive 84 points.
In the case of Xbox, the presence of no less than four games from internal studios (Diablo IV was acquired along with Activision Blizzard) has attracted attention, so the absence of Starfield, which has an average score of 83, seems even more significant.
