With rumors fermenting that "Sekiro" may join XGP, and the mod community continuing to introduce new content (such as "Ashina Genichiro's Revenge Mod"), this 2019 TGA game of the year still maintains strong vitality. Players who encounter download problems are advised to patiently try multiple solutions or wait for the official server pressure to ease.
