Episode 262 | "DOOM and Gloom"
Where there's DOOM, there's probably some gloom, right? This is an Xbox-focused show after all, so let's dig into all the news of the week in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 262!
DOOM: The Dark Ages reviews have gone live, and safe to say, iD Software have cooked! Nick, Jesse and myself have all been playing it, and now that we're free of embargos, we dive into some spoiler-free discussion about everything the Slayer brings to the table this time around.
The long rumoured ASUS/Xbox partnered handheld device had some images leak thanks to the FCC, and well, it's the ROG Ally 2 alright. We talk a little about what to expect and what we like and don't like about this curious looking device. And lastly, GTA6 had a second trailer drop out of nowhere, and oh my are we impressed.
Beyond that, we talk a little about Console Wars The Card Game and our upcoming retail launch, discuss Revenge of the Savage Planet and talk a lot about Gears of War: Reloaded. Oh, and Giant Bomb go independent, which is just lovely, lovely news.
As always, everything XboxEra does is only made possible by our incredible Patreon Community, and we would love you to be a part of it! If you enjoy what we do, and the content we create, consider supporting us directly on Patreon - just head to Patreon.com/xboxera.
Episode 261 | "They Cancelled WHAT?!" feat. Rand Al Thor19
With Jon being out for this weekend (and thank god, five hours?!) the legendary Rand Al Thor19 joins Nick and Jesse to talk through all the carnage of this week in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 261!
Beyond talking through the lastest games, the podcast crew sit down and chat about all of the latest in news from across the industry. GTA6 has been delayed into May of next year, games media takes another blow with the decimation of Polygon and the PG-13 Fandom restrictions placed on Giant Bomb.
EA lay-off a bunch of developers, and according to popular rumour, cancel a potential Titanfall game....but maybe that's okay, because it was another extraction shooter. Ubisoft tease a Prince of Persia Lost Crown follow-up, and Microsoft raise prices on hardware and software.
It basically all kind of sucks, and the crew spend a whopping five hours talking about as well as taking questions from our amazing Patreon Community. If you value having an indepedent publication focused on your favourite platform, consider supporting XboxEra directly via patreon.com/xboxera.
Episode 260 | "Not So Obscur?" feat. Kahlief Adams
Aren't video games awesome? We've certainly been spoiled this week, with a whole heap of awesome titles available to play, including another new studio with their debut title reaping all the rewards. This week, we're joined by Kahlief Adams from Spawn On Me, and get to talk the industry, content creation and lovely video games in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 260!
There's lots to talk about this week, from the surprise of Oblivion from Bethesda and Virtuos, and the amazing reception of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which has wowed critics and players all over the world, becoming the highest rated game in 2025 and a shoe in for Game of the Year.
We also chat about Marathon and Bungie's future ambitions, my poor health (reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated!) and dive into some other titles we've been playing, from Fatal Fury: City of Wolves, La Quimera and Bionic Bay.
Beyond that, we dive into the news, and of particular note is the Xbox Community banding together to throw their own watch party for the Xbox Games Showcase in LA this year.

The Podcast crew gather once more to discuss all the goings-on in the gaming industry this week. Leaks, remasters, marketing and more - it's the XboxEra Podcast Episode 259!
Nick is out this week, redecorating and fussing over his new gaming space, so myself and Jesse are joined by the one and only K.Asante this week to break down the week. It's been an odd-one, that's for sure!
The biggest news of the week has undoubtedly been the leak of Oblivion Remastered, with tonnes of in-game screenshots, comparisons and marketing information shared from one of the developers own websites. Elsewhere, we held the XboxEra Spring Subathon, focused on raising funds to cover travel expenses like flights and hotels so that we can bring you more of the best of what we do. Big thank you to everyone that donated!
We also covered Towerborne, with a gameplay-filled 45 minute interview for you to check out ahead of the game arriving into Xbox Game Pass on April 29th. That's not the only thing coming to Game Pass of course, with Microsoft announcing a meaty drop of 10 games for the second wave this month.

Another interesting week in the gaming industry has passed us by, and once again the podcast crew got together to discuss a little bit of everything in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 258!
Myself, Nick and Jesse have plenty to talk about this week. Blue Prince released as the highest rated game of the year (on Game Pass no less!), and I can finally talk a little about how obsessive I've been with the game.
South of Midnight is now out for everyone on Xbox Game Pass, and what a treat it is too. For Xbox though, the year continues, and they've now announced the Xbox Games Showcase for 2025, a digital only event occurring during Summer Games Fest follow by a deep dive into The Outer Worlds 2! Bungie also lift the lid on Marathon, coming September 2025 on Xbox, PS5 and PC.
Lastly, Console Wars The Card Game is finally arriving into backers hands, as all copies have shipped out from the UK to folks in Europe and well, everywhere except for the USA, Canada and Mexico. That group of folks haven't got long to wait, with the game arriving starting next week with any luck.

Nick, Jesse and myself sit down this week to talk through what has been a pretty crazy time in gaming. DOOM: The Dark Ages kicked things off, with our preview and extended gameplay going live on Monday. We sent the lovely Gyózó Baki out to Germany to go hands-on, and he came back with all sorts of lovely footage and impressions for us to share.
Jesse reviewed the lovely South of Midnight from Compulsion Games, which is out now in Early Access and coming to Game Pass on Day One come April 8th. Predrag worked his magic on the presentation, so you should go check things out and have a read.
Lastly, Nintendo revealed the long-awaited Switch 2, and then shocked consumers with a high ticket price, not just for the console, but also raising the price for their games to an eye-watering level. We talk through the reveal, the games and really, that Nintendo enjoys a position few other platforms have, in that the nostalgia wins out, and they'll just get away with it. ASUS have teased a new handheld partnered with Xbox, perhaps we'll get to see more in the coming weeks.

Nick, Jesse and I return to chat through all the latest in gaming for this week. Nintendo had a Direct ahead of the imminent Switch 2 reveal, and a MARVEL Cosmic Invasion, new side-scrolling beat 'em up made Nick very happy. Metroid Prime 4 footage helped too.
The whole crew have been playing South of Midnight, but we can't really talk about it until next week, but you can check out our review when it premieres right here. Myself and Jesse have been playing upcoming Game Pass release Blue Prince, and while I want to talk about it VERY MUCH INDEED, you'll have to wait until the week after next for my verdict. I also wrote a lenghty op-ed about the recent discussion regarding playing PlayStation Games on the new Xbox via Steam, which the community was debating online - you can read/watch that here.
We also chat through all sorts of news topics, from Switch 2 launch plans from Insider Gaming, Xbox releases dominating the PlayStation store worldwide and new release The First Bezerker: Khazan, which Jesse described as one of the most difficult game he's ever played.

Nick is out for the week, so Jon, Jesse and the lovely Aarsal get together to discuss all the latest in gaming this week.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is here and it's actually pretty great! Xbox have teamed up with MtnDew like it's 2007 and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is not going to get a sequel...at least for now!
Jump in!

Episode 232 | "Halo is UNREAL"
Another week, another collection of topics to break down and discuss! It's time to get comfy and join Jon, Nick and Jesse for the XboxEra Podcast Episode 232!
It's been a crazy week to be fair. We saw brand new Nintendo hardware, with the announce of 'Alarmo', a (frankly) god awful alarm clock filled to the brim with annoying Nintendo sounds.
We've also played a ton of games, from the excellent Inscryption (which just arrived on Xbox Game Pass) to Metaphor: ReFantazio, which garnered critical acclaim.
The banner topic though? Halo. The venerable Xbox franchise surprised everyone to start the week with the announce of 343 rebranding to "Halo Studios" and that they're doing away with the aging 'BLAM!' engine that powered Halo since the start.
Now it's all about Unreal Engine 5, and hoo-boy, it looks gorgeous. All of this and more, so Jump in!
Episode 231 | "Promise or Fantasy?"
Another week, and honestly, a relatively quiet one for news, but that didn't stop the crew getting together for the XboxEra Podcast Episode 231 to discuss all the latest in video games.
This week, Square Enix flat out states that they want Final Fantasy 16 on Xbox, and people are apparently shocked at the news! People also get real mad if you like Starfield as Shattered Space Reviews are out in the wild.
That's not the only game that got a big expansion - Diablo IV's Vessel of Hatred is coming too, and we talk through all the games, the reviews and the news.
We also want to thank all our new Patrons for their support - you guys make everything we do possible, and we really appreciate it. Join the growing army via patreon.com/xboxera
So get comfy, and join Sik, Nick, and Jesse for the XboxEra Podcast Episode 231!
As always, if you do listen to us on Spotify, Amazon or Apple Music, consider leaving us a nice review - we sure do appreciate it!
Episode 230 "Xbox goes to Tokyo!"
Another week rolls by, another podcast episode! This week in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 230, Jon, Nick and Jesse reflect on the Tokyo Game Show in what was a pretty good effort from Microsoft in wooing that side of the pond. We had surprise drops onto Xbox Game Pass, new games announced and Square brought the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters to Team Green at last.
In other news, Sony had a middling state of play (at least according to the internet at large) and poor old Ubisoft appears to be falling apart at the seams following the announced delay of Assassin's Creed: Shadows.
The Podcast crew break this all down, and more in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 230!
Episode 229 | "Come Fly With Us"
It's another week in videogames, and that of course means the crew get together to discuss it!
Some were lucky enough to be invited to the Grand Canyon to fly a plane in celebration of Flight Sim 2024...not us though. We're totally not jealous.
The Switch 2 'allegedly' leaked, and Sony is up to their remastering shenanigans again - but don't worry - there's a grey console coming to lock all you naysayers in!
We break it all down, as well as take questions for our amazing Patreon community.

Another week in video games rolls on by, and we break it all down in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 227! This week on the XboxEra Podcast Episode 227, Jon, Nick and Jesse return to discuss all the latest in gaming. We've seen the biggest industry bomb ever in Concord, Capcom and Microsoft worked their MT Framework issues out and all those beloved fighting games are coming to Xbox after all - albeit in 2025.
Our wonderful community have successfully brought Console Wars The Card Game to life, and we've all been playing lots of great video games, from Space Marine 2, Astrobot, Space Trucker and more.
So sit down, get comfortable and enjoy the conversation in the XboxEra Podcast Epsiode 227!
Episode 226 | "The Boys Are Back from Gamescom"

This week, there's plenty to talk about. We break down the closure of the Xbox 360 marketplace and say goodbye to the Xbox 360 as we reminisce about old school lobbies and midnight launches.
Bungie made headlines this week with the announcement of massive lay-offs and staff transfers to Sony Interactive Entertainment, and Jesse did a lengthy preview on Star Wars: Outlaws.
We also tease the #SecretProject, which is getting revealed August 5th at 5pm BST.

The podcast crew is back for the XboxEra Podcast Episode 221!
Sik has returned from his away mission - #secretproject - and joins the usual suspects of Nick and Jesse to discuss all of the latest in gaming, with the focus as always on Xbox.
Hilariously, even though Nick named the episode with details of Microsoft's partnership for Cloud gaming with GeForce NOW, we actually didn't mention it once. Y'know, because we're professionals.
Expect plenty of chit chat about all of the game reviews we've dropped this week, from Flock, Path of the Goddess, Flintlock and Dungeons of Hinterberg. In addition, a borderline-uncomfortable conversation about the Halo TV show. Fun, fun, fun!
As always, everything we're able to do week in week out is all thanks to our amazing Patrons and YouTube community, and we're so grateful to all of you for making it possible. If you want to become legend like that lot, just head to patreon.com/xboxera and pledge your undying support!

In a much quieter week in the gaming industry, the podcast crew return to talk through all of the latest in gaming news, in addition to the ups-and-downs of life itself in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 219!
This week, Nick takes a break from his family holiday to indulge his over-inflated ego by not only naming the episode after himself, but to really lean into the fact he'd marry a picture of himself if he could.
Sik and Jesse return alongside him to break down the latest in gaming, what we've been playing and to celebrate our wonderful XboxEra community all over again. Our next sub-a-thon is scheduled for July 26th, if you're interested in hanging out, fundraising and maybe some sweet giveaways!

Sik, Aarsal, and Jesse are here to break it all down. The Xbox 'that wasn't' was detailed, Dead Rising is returning, and Ubisoft are making a bunch of remakes.
NOTE: We had a few technical issues with streaming this episode, so Sik has edited out the fluff for a more streamlined version. The original is still up on YouTube if you want the full thing.
Episode 217 | "It lives!"
In this episode, things get a bit…crazy. Sik, Nick, and Jesse break down all the latest in gaming, which honestly, at least when it comes to this week, isn't that much really!
Nintendo had a solid direct, making Nick more excited than 500 Xbox shows put together, Capcom's old engine doesn't work on Xbox anymore ("allegebly") and there's some controversy surrounding Black Myth: Wukong.
Our community also go completely insane this episode, and help grow our Patreon and general fund-raising efforts to new, incredible heights. We're very grateful.
