Of the 2025 games released on this console, each sees an average of 127 current players and appears in 328 backlogs, suggesting many more intend to play even if they haven\u2019t gotten around to it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The typical game released on the Switch 2 this year is replayed 3.9 times, and holds a retired rate of just 1.9% &#8211; the lowest of any console in the study. It also holds an average player rating of 82% &#8211; 5% above the study average (78%).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the best-received games on the console this year is <em>Hollow Knight: Silksong, <\/em>despite a fairly high retired rate of 1.5%, <em>Hades II, <\/em>and <em>Donkey Kong Bananza.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second is the <strong>Xbox Series X\/S <\/strong>&#8211;<strong> <\/strong>which struggled to catch up to the Nintendo Switch 2 &#8211; scoring 39 out of 100 for new game reception. The typical game released on the X\/S sees 80 people playing it at any given time, with 318 adding it to their backlogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The typical game also sees 4.2% of players retiring it, which is the highest rate of any console analyzed. It\u2019s also 40% above the study average (3% retired). The average X\/S game is replayed 3.2 times, and holds a 76% player rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the games that scored the best across the same metrics, the fan favorite Xbox Series X\/S releases were found to be: <em>Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Hollow Knight: Silksong<\/em>, and <em>Split Fiction.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rounding out the top three consoles for new content this year is the <strong>PlayStation 5, <\/strong>scoring 36 out of 100.

The game is available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X\/S.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Discussing the study findings, Al Alof, CEO of <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/chicksgold.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Chicks Gold<\/strong><\/a><strong>, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201c<\/strong>There\u2019s a lot of discussion about which game releases fans are most eagerly anticipating throughout the year, but not much on how a game is actually received once players access it. And while some consoles are generally considered better investments than others at the moment, it\u2019s clear that game reception differs drastically by platform and that the Nintendo Switch 2 is the best at the moment when it comes to actual gaming experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s impressive that such a new console has dominated the ranking, and it suggests that Nintendo are well aware of which titles to prioritize on their new platform in order to offer players the best value for money. Meanwhile, the Xbox One isn\u2019t really providing that much value in terms of new content this year so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt remains to be seen how upcoming game releases affect the ranking, as the long-awaited GTA VI is rumored to be \u2018the largest game launch in history\u2019 and will be on the PS5 and Xbox Series X\/S. The Switch 2\u2019s domination could be rocked by that &#8211; unless the games they release in the meantime continue to impress.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Methodology: Player data was analyzed via <a href=\"http:\/\/howlongtobeat.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">howlongtobeat.com<\/a>, which allows players to catalog their games collection and share data. The following metrics were pulled for 100 games released in 2025:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Playing (current players)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Backlogs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Replays<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Retired %<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rating %<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each metric was scored out of 10, added and doubled, to calculate a final reception score out of 100. Games were grouped based on the consoles they\u2019re available on and then averaged across the metrics, to reveal the average reception per console.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new analysis of player data has revealed the Nintendo Switch 2 has had the best-received new game releases in 2025 so
