But a success it was. Starfield has taken home the award for best Xbox game, beating out the following competition:
Starfield is Bethesda’s first brand-new IP in over two decades and sees you assume the role of a space explorer in a truly gargantuan open-world RPG. Whether you pour hundreds of hours into shipbuilding, base building, weapon modding, or even collecting sandwiches from every planet you visit, Starfield is a game that lets you do it all.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Bethesda game without some colorful jank and extremely silly quests. Starfield has remained loyal to what makes games like Skyrim and Fallout so evergreen while reinventing what’s possible for a fully armed Xbox-exclusive game.

One of my earliest memories is playing SuperMario64 and wondering why the controller I held had three grips, but I only had two hands. Ever since I’ve been in love with video games and their technology. After graduating from Edinburgh Napier University with a degree in Journalism, I contributed to the Scottish Games Network and completed an Editorial Internship at Expert Reviews. Over the last decade, I’ve been managing my ownYouTube channelabout my love of games too. These days, I’m one of the resident hardware nerds at GamesRadar+, and I take the lead on our coverage of gaming PCs, VR, controllers, gaming chairs, and content creation gear. Now, I better stop myself here before I get talking about my favourite games like HUNT: Showdown, Dishonored, and Towerfall Ascension.Location: UK Remote
