Xbox players can now see how many hours they’ve put into their favorite games this year, includingPhil Spencer, who is in the top 10% ofStarfieldplayers.

One of the most interesting examples of Xbox Year in Review comes from none other than Xbox boss Phil Spencer. In a tweet, shared on December 12, Spencer wrote: “Every minute was worth it,” along with a screenshot of their results. You’d think - what with being an executive of a pretty big tech company and dealing with the MicrosoftActivisionacquisition - that Phil Spencer wouldn’t have much time to play his favourite games. Well, that definitely isn’t the case as his results show.

Phil Spencer has also put a lot of hours into Pillars of Eternity, with 124 hours logged in the Obsidian game - placing him in the top 5% of active players. The stats also show us that Phil Spencer is a big fan of RPGs which is kind of a given considering his top games. We can also see that he’s played other notable Xbox releases this year, including Forza Horizon 5, Remnant 2, Ravenlok, Age of Empires 2, and Grounded.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.

After Starfield’s strict companions, I’m glad Avowed’s crew won’t be “backseat driving and second-guessing all your choices”

Almost every quest in RPG Avowed can be started in multiple ways: “We want to just constantly foster that sense of exploration, wanderlust”

After 9 hours, I can’t bear to leave The Vatican in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
