Well this is it, the final episode of Beat The Sheet and our biggest episode ever!

This week we've gone through every game that has come to Xbox Game Pass since 'The Sheet' began in January 2020 to create a countdown of the 50 best Game Pass games we've played during the challenge. Along the way we'll also be breaking away to give out our final ever Beat The Sheet 'Sheety' awards to some deserving winners, and we have a special Icon Award to hand out too.

Thanks for listening to the show and come along to our new show, Pixel Mix, for more games news, reviews and features each and every Friday!
