Sega crowned as Metacritic’s best publisher of 2024
While Capcom was crowned as the best publisher in 2023 thanks to its high-ranking game releases, another Japanese publisher usurped them in 2024. Metacritic has now revealed that Sega was the highest-rated publisher of 2024.
Sega released several projects in 2024. It kicked off the year strong with the release of Persona 3 Reload and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, a fantastic sequel to Yakuza 7 that further reinvented the franchise by taking our core group of characters to new parts of the world. Sega had another hit on its hands over the summer with the multiplatform release of Shin Megami Tensei V, which had previously only been available on Nintendo Switch. Sega's best game of 2024 was a brand new IP from Atlus – Metaphor: ReFantazio, which won a number of awards for its story and gameplay.
Metacritic takes the average metascore for each publisher's games, then factors in the percentage of good reviews versus bad reviews to calculate which publisher fared best each year. Sega ended up scoring 325.5 points based on this system, catipulting it from 9th place in 2023 to 1st place in 2024.
Capcom almost repeated as Metacritic's best publisher. After winning the award in 2023, the publisher went on to score 323 points in 2024, putting it just shy of Sega's total. This year also saw Microsoft rising through the ranks, achieving 9th place with 301 points.
KitGuru Says: Sega certainly released some great games last year, but for me, Square Enix was the best of 2024, in large part thanks to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, as well as the excellent PC version of Final Fantasy 16, which is a personal favourite of mine.
