đ Share this article We'll Crown the Greatest Game of the Console Generation: Final Four The past two days have been nothing short of dramatic. On Monday, we celebrated the five-year anniversary of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X with a tournament to determine the best first-party game of this console generation. We presented eight PS5 games and eight Xbox Series X exclusives to compete against each other, culminating in a final showdown where the leading contender from each platform would battle it out. We've witnessed some nail-biting finishes in the initial matchups, particularly yesterdayâs razor-thin votes. At this point, it's time to crown the best PS5 and Xbox Series X games ahead of Thursdayâs final battle. PlayStation 5 Contenders For PlayStation 5, we have the Kratos-killer, Astro Bot. Maybe it should be no surprise considering that it won top honors at the previous year's gaming accolades, but its win against God of War RagnarĂśk feels like a true upset. But to get to the finals, it'll need to defeat the most valuable player of the PS5 generation: the acclaimed developer. Marvelâs Spider-Man 2 had a smooth path to the final four, defeating Ghost of YĹtei and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (another title from the same studio!) to land in the final four. Will Spider-Man defeat a home-grown Sony mascot, or is he destined to become a chibi cameo in the upcoming Astro Bot title? Xbox Series X Contenders The Xbox Series X side has been more exciting. Emerging victorious from a diverse lineup of competitors is Forza Horizon 5. It's a big victory for the open-world driving game already, proving that a niche category title deserves to be on the equal footing as traditional jump-and-run games and story-driven epics. Its final obstacle on the way to the championship is a big one, though. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has proven to be a fan favorite, defeating critical darlings like Pentiment and Hi-Fi Rush. Will it overcome a larger-scale title from an established IP that's synonymous with Xbox itself? Should anyone manage this feat, it's likely Indiana Jones. Place your ballots to determine the top PlayStation and Xbox titles of this era, and return on the next day to see who will be competing for the grand prize in the finals!
