Welcome guys to the Xbox 2024 OpenCritic Prediction League! With the blessing of previous hosts @ice and @Ryuu96 I've decided to host the Xbox League this year in addition to my other ones, the rules are of course the same as the other leagues I host but if you aren't familiar you can read them here below.
The Rules:
- When you place at least 3 predictions, I will add you to the list of participants which will be written in the same order for each game. I’ll tag all the participants if more games are added later on. You can still throw out 1 or 2 loose predictions without entering, but I won’t write you up in that case.
- Scores are tallied about a month after release for each game. If the score should change after that it won’t affect the points (since that's very rare anyways).
- You can change or post a prediction up until the first reviews show up. Make sure to make a new post if you want to change a previous prediction.
Scoring:
| Prediction same as actual score | 10 points |
| 1-point difference | 9 points |
| 2-point difference | 8 points |
| 3-point difference | 7 points |
| 4-point difference | 6 points |
| 5-point difference | 5 points |

The Games:
After the Developer Direct there's a decent number of confirmed Xbox exlusives to look forward to in 2024 though most of them are still missing specific release windows giving us a pretty vague order, but oh well. If I'm missing a notable game let me know about it. Let the predictions begin!
