Merry 4Xmas | Our top played games of 2025

About this episode

The episode discusses the top played games of 2025 during the festive season.

Merry 4Xmas! I hope the festive season has been thus far enjoyable, and your bellies have eXpanded due to all the good food. Maybe your game collection will too. Join the regular crew and the Baron of Beardness himself, Battlemode, as we talk about the games we have been playing in 2025. There is an accompanying article to the podcast, available here. Note, this is a long podcast. We had great fun talking about the game we have been playing, and our next podcast will be talking about the games we are looking forward to in 2026.
