Welcome to Xbox On, a podcast with one host, about one console, Xbox. I am said host, Jesse DeRosa, and on today's episode we'll be talking about our favorite video games played in 2024. Despite what the online discourse may indicate, 2024 has been a year full of incredible releases. Not only that, but our backlogs have never been longer. With so many great games to play, we take the final episode of the year to celebrate our top five favorite games that we experienced during the calendar year. Not limited only to Xbox games released this year, but rather, this week's episode celebrates all of the year's most enjoyable gaming moments. 

Let's sendoff 2024 on a positive note! Thank you to all who've supported the show. I hope you enjoy!
