Talking Point: What Are Your Favourite Xbox Memories Of The Past 12 Months?

Definitely not one of the most optimised games but I really enjoyed Redfall.
So much so, it was actually my most played game of 2023 according to my year in stats.

Absolutely has to be for me, GoldenEye being brought on to Xbox. I, Like so many other people had been anticipating it for so long and when it was released I was as excited as when I played it on the N64 for the first time.

It’s my first full year of Xbox and so the drama of Starfield and everything else was positively amazing and loved it!

The Developer Direct in January really set up a great year from Xbox. There was a solid amount of games and Gamepass was phenomenal this year.

My daughter loved playing Roblox, Fortnite & Minecraft, the amount of hours she has sunk into each game is unbelievable.

I enjoyed the meltdowns when the abk deal was finalized. That was a fascinating series of events to watch unfold for nearly 2 years. Common sense prevailed.

Starfield was a game I thoroughly enjoyed. I also enjoy seeing it trend regularly as people claim to hate it but can't stop talking about it. Did anyone see the steam review that had 872 hours played but gave it a negative review and said it was a "play once game"?

The cheer spoof in high on life for me and getting my 6 year old in Xbox this year aswell and seeing her improve we be co op legends this time in a few years ha

Definitely when the CMA initially blocked the Activision acquisition back in April. Although short lived due to the UK government intervening, it was nice that some regulators actually cared about protecting gaming from being another monopoly situation like what Windows is for PC.

Listening to almost the entirety of the FTC vs MS trial live, and Phil Spencer's podcast interview right after Redfall released. Both were extremely insightful as a fan of Xbox.

2023 was a great game year overall. Loved GPU and enjoyed many games: A Plaque Tale Requiem, Jusant, Starfield, Cocoon, Quake 2, Tunic, Bramble, …

The ABK drama was “interesting”…

Looking forward what Xbox has for us in 2024!

Having bought my very first Xbox (Series X). I owned all PlayStations so far, but decided to buy my PS5 a sister so I can play Starfield. Haven’t regretted it.

I have many good memories. But I spend most of my radio time and time with Forza Motorsport, which is my passion! And I like to remember HI-FI Rush and Chai 💚

I reckon Xbox had a banging year with the GA and their earlier showcase and a ton of great varied games. A highlight I think is the shadow drop info about Blade. Imo it will be Xbox next gen console seller.

Has to the ABK deal finally going through.
You can’t get much bigger than that in 2023 for Xbox overall.

Getting stuff for free on the store. MS took my money for the transaction and it said it didnt own the items. Called support, they told me the money would bounce back in a few days, problem with the store. Next day it said "manage item, you own this" on all the items and still had the money return to my account.

HI Fi drop and all the Personas hitting Game Pass were cool moments for me.

Well for starters, getting an Xbox last December. I thought it would be a console I'd play 25% of the time compared to switch being 75%. Turned out to play it a bunch more than I expected this past year. My favorite moment was the shadow drop of Hi Fi early on as an adopter, and it being one of my favorite games of 2023. Then each month playing a new game on GP. Sea of Stars was a such a sublime experience for me this year as well. Happy new year fellow xbots 🙂

@eire-shabba I played high on life late, so about April or so. Blown away by how much fun I had with it.

I sort of forgot about it and didn't rank it in my top 5 since it was a 2022 game. But overall, it was definitely a top 5 game for me this year.

Seeing the ending to Starfield. Laughing with my buddy called red fall lafder and moon walking around. Getting behind my sim wheel for Forza.

@Beetlebum91 Just be careful with that because I’ve heard about people getting their accounts banned by playing the games, even tho it’s not their fault when that happens.

@NintendoByNature Try the dlc high on knife it's very good

Hi there fellow gamers.
my favourite memories of 2023 are.

• The Developer Direct with Hi-Fi Rush shadow drop;
• Finally playing AC Valhalla and really enjoy it.
• Playing Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition and loving every second.
  Hopefully, there will be much more good memories to have next year for Xbox.
  Until then, cheers and have a great New Year everyone

Jolly Co-operation at "Wo-Long"...
There are countless fully capable gamer friends out there...
It is so much fun to play shoulder to shoulder with them.
"Must Exprienced" enjoyment.

@eire-shabba I actually bought the bundle which Is rare for me. I almost never buy games I've already played on gamepass, or games that are currently on gamepass. But at the bundle price it was well worth it. I just haven't gotten around to the dlc yet.

@NintendoByNature Same for me had to buy the bundle the deal is just to good the dlc is very good hope you enjoy it the humour in the game always gives me a laugh here's hoping for a sequel

@Techno92LFC thanks for letting me know mate, haven't had any issues so far.
