Redfall Fails to Impress: Drops Out of Xbox's Top 50 Most-Played Games in Less Than a Month
Redfall, a recently released game on Xbox consoles, has already fallen off the list of top 50 most-played games Despite its short time on the market, the game has failed to maintain its initial popularity and has been overshadowed by other titles
Upon its launch on May 2, 2023, Redfall, a Microsoft first-party game, quickly made its way to the Xbox Game Pass library. However, despite its promising start, Redfall's reception has been underwhelming, with the game receiving mixed to poor reviews. In fact, Redfall has become one of the lowest-rated AAA games of 2023, with its current score on Metacritic sitting at 56 for the Xbox Series X, putting it in the same category as The Lord of the Rings: Gollum. Unfortunately, it seems that the game's lackluster reviews have taken a toll on its player base, as Redfall has dropped off the list of the top 50 most-played games on Xbox, just a month after its launch.
On Microsoft's website, players can access information about the highest-rated games and upcoming titles under the charts section. The most-played games on Xbox consoles are also listed, and it's worth noting that Redfall, which was released less than a month ago, is not included in the rankings. Despite being a major first-party title, it seems that Xbox players have lost interest in Redfall, causing it to quickly drop out of the charts.
Players eagerly awaiting the release of Redfall on Xbox Series X should note that the game currently does not offer a 60 FPS performance mode. However, the developers have confirmed that it will be added in a future update. For players who prefer a smoother gaming experience, it may be worth holding off until this update drops. It will be interesting to see how Redfall performs once the 60 FPS patch is released and if it can attract a dedicated player base.
The list of the top 50 most-played games on Xbox is dominated by popular franchises such as Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, and FIFA. Fortnite holds the top spot, followed by Modern Warfare 2 and Apex Legends. Shooters, sports games, and live-service titles make up the majority of the list, but there are also single-player games like Hogwarts Legacy and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim remains a favorite among players, while Mortal Kombat 11 and Elden Ring have also made their mark on the Xbox gaming community.
Redfall is out now on PC and Xbox Series X.
