Our TrueAchievements Game of the Year 2023 vote brings together 32 of the best Xbox games of the past year for a single elimination tournament where the outcome is up to you. Today's vote sees Forza Motorsport taking on Baldur's Gate 3.
Having left Venba in the dust in round 15, Forza Motorsport is back for another shot at glory. Turn 10's latest racing simulator might not have the widespread appeal of its arcade-racing sibling, Forza Horizon, but it's still a popular option for players looking to get behind a virtual wheel. Forza Motorsport is a stunning example of a racing game and has the backing of Xbox Game Pass for maximum exposure, but does it have what it takes to beat its rival in this round?
Having launched on Xbox Series X|S only a couple of weeks ago, Larian Studios' Dungeons & Dragons-themed RPG Baldur's Gate 3 was a newcomer in this competition. After steamrolling The Game Awards in early December for numerous awards, including the coveted title of Game of the Year, we just had to squeeze it into this tournament. Despite round 16 featuring three games, Baldur's Gate 3 devoured Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and Sea of Stars like a ravenous Mimic. Does Larian's beast have enough turns left in it to fell racing royalty? Let's see.
We thought running a knockout tournament like this would be a great way to spark some conversion around 2023's best Xbox games. To be fair, we put AAA games in the top bracket and smaller indie games in the second bracket tier, offering all participating a chance to take the crown.
Our TrueAchievements Game of the Year Awards 2023 voting is now open and running until January 3, so make sure to cast your votes.
