December and 2023 Summary (Catch-Up)

After initial testing for December, this led to every single day of gaming across the month being magnetised. At the time of writing it has continued into January 2024 with hope of a first fully Xbox magnetised year since 2020, this being due to 2021 failing in the final months. 

December itself was a strong month with a haul of 295 unlocks, this would have been 300 but the main goal for the year was ending on 950,000G overall which was done. Hitting 300 wouldn't have toppled the best month so was not considered while nice totals of 20,590G and 31.732 TA (reduced by new update TA drops) proved to be a plus. The played vs completion ratio saw a 50% split meaning of the 34 played in the month, 17 were completions. 

The platform split was one that I hope will improve in 2024 as the Xbox Series X/One play saw 258 unlocks compared to the 37 across Windows/Xbox 360/Mobile. 

2023 itself slotted in as the second best year for unlocks with 2192 which is a long way off the ultimate 2021 total of 2768 but being only the second year to go over 2100 and with my offline life far busier than recent years furthers the success of 2023. 

The graphic below differs from the total seen for completions on the December 31st magnetisation as January began with multiple game updates on New Year's Day which meant 2023 lost completions from 101 to 96 and will continue to do so as more re-completions are done. 

Key milestones for the year saw the passage through 800,000 and 900,000G with the next goal of the 1 Million G set to come in 2024 as well as hopes of 1.5 Million TA score and maybe even 25,000 unlocks overall after hitting 1.2 Million TA score and 23,000 unlocks in 2023.
