2018 was a great year for the Xbox brand. From numerous and notable studio acquisitions, to the expansion of Xbox Game Pass, 2018 had many highs for Phil Spencer and co. But what Xbox didn't have in 2018 was many good games. Sure, it had Forza Horizon 4, one of the best racing games in quite some time, but in the face of PlayStation 4's God of War, Marvel's Spider-Man, and Detroit: Become Human, it wasn't even a contest.
That said, even if you remove the juxtaposition of the PlayStation 4's exclusives from the equation, there wasn't many reasons to celebrate in 2018 on the software front as an Xbox One gamer, unless of course you enjoy racing games.
Recently, Metacritic released its 2018 video game rewind that looked back on the best games of 2018. Unsurprisingly, Red Dead Redemption 2 was the highest-rated game of the year. But not far behind was PlayStation 4 exclusive, God of War, which was followed by Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Forza Horizon 4.
In 2018, the PlayStation 4 had 13 "good exclusives," which means games exclusive to the platform that land at 75 or higher on Metacritic. The Nintendo Switch had 10. PC had 33. Xbox One, zero.
"Microsoft failed to offer a compelling case to pick up an Xbox One rather than another console in 2018," writes Metacritic. "The best 'console exclusive' titles released for XB1 last year could also be played on your PC, and there wasn't a single game exclusive to Xbox One alone that received positive reviews from critics."
