This was the year that Microsoft really came out swinging and gained ground in the gaming market again. While this is in thanks to the Backward Compatibility titles being added, the Xbox One had some impressive exclusives that also helped drive up the sales. These were the best exclusives for Xbox One of 2016.
AND THE NOMINEES ARE…
FORZA HORIZON 3 (Turn 10/Playground Games)
QUANTUM BREAK (Remedy)
DEADRISING 4 (Capcom)
RECORE (Armature)
GEARS OF WAR 4 (The Coalition)
AND THE WINNER IS….
GEARS OF WAR 4
Taking up the mantle from Epic Games and continuing a series that had ended with much fanfare is a difficult task that The Coalition were up to. A new War, a new Generation, some kick-ass new weapons, but still the same amazing gameplay and multiplayer that has been widely praised for the series. Gears of War 4 is the essential Xbox One game of the year.
