X Marks The Box (an Xbox Podcast‪)‬ X Marks The Box

Life is hard when you try to bring something positive into this otherwise depressing week for Xbox. On this episode, we discuss the recent closures of studios including Tango Softworks and Arkane Studios Austin, developers of Hifi Rush and Redfall respectively, as well as potential targets of Microsoft's mass studio-cide. Also on the show, Halo Infinite is getting worse, and you can tell by its lacklustre shop updates, or is it getting better?

With the release of its new TV Series on Amazon, things are looking great for Fallout this year with the Fallout 4 Next Gen update and a potential Fallout 3 Remaster. We get to discuss what we know about the Year of Fallout. Also on the show, Lewis grew out of anime, so Alice helps by introducing him to a few new anime releases. And we get to discuss what's yappening with Halo Infinite and its stagnant future.

PS5 Pro has been leaked with new specs, but is it really worth the upgrade? Will Microsoft finally unveil their trump card being the new Xbox Series X Pro? or will they jump to Next Gen early with a new console in 2027? Also on the show, we got addicted to Helldivers 2, now it got Alice down to Super Earth too! And Red vs Blue, the show, is in trouble with Rooster Teeth shutting down in May.
