Xbox Game Pass title the Medium makes its first top 20 appearance

Xbox Game Pass magic is at work once again in our latest Xbox game chart, with The Medium making the top 20 and Cyber ​​Shadow making the top 40. Here are the top 40 Xbox gameplay for the week. ending January 31, 2021.

The first graph for February 2021 has these two inevitable culprits in the top spots: Modern Warfare in 1st and Black Ops Cold War in 2nd, with the rest of the top ten rework below as usual. A little further down, however, the power of Xbox Game Pass is at work with Bloober Team’s psychological horror game The Medium making its debut in the 15th. Even today, Bloober Team announced that The Medium has already sold enough to cover development and marketing costs, despite launching less than a week ago. Luke thought it was a “unique but flawed gem” and that while the price might be a bit steep at $ 50 / £ 40, it is definitely worth trying the game if you have an Xbox Game Pass membership. You can check out the Luke The Medium review for more information. The Xbox Game Pass also propelled another recent release to the top 40, with Cyber ​​Shadow ranked 39th.

Sea of ​​Thieves, meanwhile, is up two places to place 16th. The first season of the game launched a few days ago with three new achievements. The developers have also added a new 120Hz Performance mode for the Xbox Series X consoles. Since each season brings a lot of new content, it’s likely we’ll see Sea of ​​Thieves climb the charts even further. Cyberpunk 2077, on the other hand, fell three spots to 17th. More recently CD Projekt Red released fixes to sort out a breakthrough bug that was introduced with the latest fix. CDPR will be working on improving Cyberpunk for a while, so it will be interesting to see where the game sits on the next charts.

There’s a lot of reshuffles going on in this week’s chart, with NBA 2K21, Dead by Daylight, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition, PUBG, Battlefield V, and Donut County all falling to the 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, and 30th respectively. This week also brings us three respawns, all neatly grouped together: The Division 2 is back in 36th place, with Fallout 76 in 37th and Fifa 21 in 38th. Black Ops III, meanwhile, has dropped completely from the top 40, while other disappearances this week include Skate 3, DayZ, For Honor and Injustice 2. Coming up we have Control: Ultimate Edition which launches tomorrow, with Little Nightmares 2 arrive later in the month, along with the February additions to Xbox Game Pass that Microsoft may have up their sleeve. Interestingly, Hitman 3, which was one of the biggest releases in January, is not yet on our Xbox gaming board, although it is growing rapidly on our PlayStation gaming board. What do you think? Will any of February’s launches make the top ten? Let us know in the comments!
