The GOTY feature is always focused on the games themselves rather than the statistics behind their rankings, so we’re using this article to share exactly how you voted on the top ten, as well as the titles that didn’t make the list.
Let’s start with the games with the most votes this year. As you can see below, Indiana Jones ran away with the votes in the end, but the latter half of the list was extremely close – here’s a look at how the voting ended last Wednesday:

There we go – that’s what happened! The Pure Xbox Game of the Year for 2024 is officially in the books, with Indiana Jones joining Starfield, Elden Ring, Halo Infinite and Ori and the Will of the Wisps as the winners in recent years.
In 2025, we’re hoping we’ll be crowing Fable or perhaps DOOM: The Dark Ages as the overall winner in December, although realistically it’ll probably be GTA 6 unless it gets a delay! What do you think might have a shot at the title next year? And also, do you agree with the Pure Xbox Game of the Year results overall? Tell us down below.
