What’s the Best Xbox Game of the Year So Far?
It’s that wonderful time of year when we all meet to debate what Xbox game has won 2024 to date. Maybe “gather” is an exaggeration–most of us simply rant in the air on Xbox Live or Twitter. In reality there’s been some amazing Xbox games released during the year. It’s difficult to choose a winner.
Starfield
Let’s start by talking about Starfield, the star at the center of this show. Starfield. Bethesda’s galaxy-hopping game was a hit with its endless options for planets and infinite choices. It’s true that a large portion of the players spend the majority of their time customizing their spaceships rather than exploring the world of aliens but isn’t that sort of reason? Starfield’s graphics are so amazing you’ll think the Xbox Series X might need to rest for just a few hours.
Hi-Fi Rush
However, Starfield isn’t the only game in the race! Hi-Fi Rush, the rhythm-action game developed by Tango Gameworks, brought its top-of-the-line performance (literally). With beats that will make you bumb and a narrative brimming with wit, it’s like a live show you’re taking part in. In addition, the stunning graphics provide the perfect opportunity to display your Xbox game’s updates to anyone who’s willing to listen.

Forza Motorsport
We shouldn’t overlook Forza Motorsport, either. It’s technically a racing title, however the attention to details makes you believe that they’ve hidden the real engine in your console. If you’ve ever wanted to have a garage full of expensive cars without having the minor issue of money then this is an Xbox only game that you can play.
And, can we talk about the number of games available on Xbox Game Pass this year? If you’re paying the full price for games, thank God for your heart. With each Xbox Game Pass news update new gems seem to appear from nowhere. In fact, Xbox 360 classics have been appearing. Nostalgia much?
Xbox Game Pass
It’s not surprising that this list wouldn’t be complete without talking about all the speculation about future Xbox games such as Fable or Avowed. It’s no surprise that the Xbox Series X news around these games alone has created hundreds of Reddit threads that you’d think that people were trying to find the hidden map of treasure.
Future Xbox Games
So, which one do you think is “best” so far this year? It’s really up to you. If you’re interested in exploring space, chaos in the rhythm or adrenaline-fueled excitement, 2024 has certainly spoiled you. However, the real winner is the person who’s at their computer and a controller at their side, and not paying attention to the every Xbox Live news update about the length of time they’ve been online.
If your console is getting regular use, then you’re an ace as well. Let me know if I go through the Xbox app, because I haven’t spent enough time on it in the past. Priorities, am I right?
