Catch up on the GOTY conversation with these Game Awards nominees on Xbox Game Pass

The Golden Joystick Awards have passed, and with The Game Awards only being a few days away, the Game of the Year conversation is in full swing. Everyone is putting together their end-of-the-year lists, and for most of us the upcoming holiday break is an opportunity to catch up on some of the year's best games.

Not sure where to begin? Backlog too intense? Xbox Game Pass has some of this year's best and brightest, so take some time over the next few weeks to dive into a new game (or six) and discover your new favorites.
