Media Release

Following Triple J’s release of the Hottest 100 over the weekend, Xbox has released 2019’s top games as voted by Aussie fans.

There are some old favourites, some that are ‘Outer’ world, some that are Honking mad, some you would Toss A Coin to and others that are in a State of Decay. But they are all amazing games and voted by us Aussies.

And I must say, Australia I couldn’t be more of your top list. Let me know which one is your number one in the comments!

Check out Australia’s hottest 10 games of Xbox Game Pass below:

10.   Gears 5

Gears 5 was voted as one of the best additions to Xbox Game Pass last year, with fans loving the opportunity to control the title’s lead protagonist Kait as she searched for answers for her connection to the Swam and Locust Horde, in the most expansive Gears setting ever.

9.       Overcooked 2

Our voters couldn’t stop playing Overcooked 2. Test the strength of your relationship with some of your closest friends in this frantically fun co-op game.

8.       Minecraft

A whopping 55% of voters chose Minecraft as the best survival game on Xbox Game Pass! Minecraft lets you harness your creativity and build your own worlds. Create a home, fight off the Creepers and prepare to take on the Ender Dragon in a game that provides for endless amounts of fun.

7.       State of Decay 2

A zombie apocalypse has infected most of the population, and it’s your job to survive. Turns out Aussies loved the world of State of Decay 2 and the tense encounters with the walking dead – doubt that would be the case in real life!

6.       Rocket League

5.       Halo: The Master Chief Collection

Are we cheating by listing a game that technically features six titles? Maybe, but it’s Halo! The Master Chief Collection features just about everything you need to experience Xbox’s flagship franchise. It’s no surprise that The Master Chief Collection was among Australia’s favourites, with 57% of Aussie gamers declaring it the best game to play with friends.

4.       Ark: Survival Evolved

Aussies put their survival skills to the test in this enormous world populated by dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals…no word on if they survived and thrived. Aussies loved the survival aspects of ARK, clearly drawing a comparison with our own dangerous wildlife.

3.       Untitled Goose Game

HONK! This hometown videogame hero, Untitled Goose Game, took Australia (and the world) by storm. We highly recommend you take some time to honk and harass the unfortunate denizens of this quiet English town.
