Poll: What Is Your Xbox Game Of The Year For 2023?

It's that time of year again! We're looking to crown a Pure Xbox Game of the Year for 2023, and in order to do that, we're going to need you to vote for the best Xbox games of the past 12 months — only the top ten will make the final cut!

Last year's winner ended up being the outstanding Elden Ring, followed by A Plague Tale: Requiem. Before that, the 2021 winner was Halo Infinite and the 2020 winner was Ori and the Will of the Wisps!

We'll publish the full top ten here at Pure Xbox around Christmas time, but we'll need a few days to put the results together — so we're asking if you can submit your votes by Wednesday, December 20th. If the game you want to vote for isn't in the poll below, write it in the comments instead and tell us how many points you would have given it.

It'll be fascinating to see what wins this year, whether it's the massive Bethesda first-party release Starfield, the shadow-dropped masterpiece that was Hi-Fi RUSH, or maybe the recent Xbox arrival of Baldur's Gate 3. The list is absolutely ridiculous in 2023, and there are so many games that could grab the number one spot.

Bring on the votes, and may the best game win! If you haven't played enough games to vote for all five this year, that's not a problem - you just need to choose one game at a minimum in the poll down below.
