Xbox Prediction Thread 2023

DeoGame · Dec 26, 2022

Welcome to the Xbox Prediction Thread for 2023
The voting ends on January 16th 2023

Format is shamelessly stolen from JuanLatino. You can find their PlayStation Predictions thread here. Keep up the great work my friend!

The rules are simple. Answer the questions, the player with the most points wins. Just remind me to check in at the end of the day.

You can copy paste the questions and answer, or you can go by number and write your answer.

Read the rules carefully. You could gain points, but you could also lose points. Be strategic.

No prizes planned at the moment, but no ragerts. Glhf!
