The 2024 Bossies, the second annual presentation of the awards, has its nominees for Xbox Game of the Year.

The Bossies is an award show the Boss Rush Network hosts that is a celebration of video games and entertainment. The event is not beholden to announcements and trailers, rather votes come directly from the community.

The award show aims to feature games and entertainment that deserves recognition as the Boss Rush team highlights the best of the year, including content the industry may have overlooked.

Furthermore, the Boss Rush team has partnered many from around the industry who are big fans of gaming and entertainment. These include Indie developers, game publishers, and content creators.

The 2024 Bossies nominations for Xbox Game of the Year are:

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 by Raven Software and Treyarch: The game’s single-player campaign is set during Operation Desert Storm and follows Troy Marshall and Frank Woods, rogue CIA operatives, as they combat paramilitary group Pantheon. This is the 21st Call of Duty game and the sixth under the Black Ops subgenre.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle by MachineGames: Set between the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade, Indiana Jones seeks to stop various groups coveting the power of the Great Circle. The game is set in numerous real-world locations such as Vatican City, Thailand, Egypt, and Shanghai, China.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 by Asobo Studios: This flight simulator is the first new game in the series since 2020, making it the newest entry since the series began in 1982. The game features a career mode that offers missions. Some of the missions include agricultural flights and firefighting expeditions.

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II by Ninja Theory: This direct sequel to Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice returns the series to prominence after a seven-year absence. The game embraces a dark fantasy atmosphere set in the 9th Century in Iceland. It draws heavy influence from Norse Mythology as Senua faces Viking marauders in their home country.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl by GSC Game World: This first-person shooter marks the series return after a 15-year hiatus.
