“What is the best Xbox One soundtrack?” – #SoundtrackShowdown Week Seventeen

“What’s the best Xbox One soundtrack?”

Welcome back to Soundtrack Showdown! The Nintendo Wii U had its time to shine and a winner jumped ahead of the rest. Congratulations to Super Mario for taking a spot with Super Mario 3D World!

Now on with this week’s event!

You can visit the main event page here for more information but in short, we’re looking for nominations from you today and tomorrow (Monday and Tuesday) for the best Xbox One soundtrack! All nominations received will appear in a poll open from Wednesday through Saturday when you’ll be able to vote for the best Xbox One soundtrack. We’ll determine the winner on Sunday!

Reminders

-Nominations can be left in comments on this blog or on Twitter, just tag @thewellredmage and/or use #soundtrackshowdown.

-Please keep it to ONE nomination per person but if your first choice is already taken then feel free to nominate a different soundtrack.

-If you name more than one soundtrack, I’ll have to ruin your day and ask you to choose! 

-We’re looking for exclusives, not ports, within reason. You can mention timed exclusives provided they were originally on the Xbox One.

–HOWEVER… there’s an extra clarifier this time: because of the nature of Xbox One exclusives, you CAN mention Xbox One games that were also ported to PC. Launching on PC doesn’t bar you from nominating any Xbox One soundtrack!! We’re looking at console exclusives.

Historically in this event, Xbox has had a tough time attracting nominations, but with the Xbox One, we’ve landed in the current generation of consoles. Best of luck, Xbox!

Name ONE soundtrack below or on social media! Share tracks. Tell us what team you’re on. Appreciate the artistry behind the music!
