    Final Fantasy Back to Xbox for Good?

    Final Fantasy Back to Xbox for Good?

    This episode is much cheerier than the last one as the news is (for the most part) much better! For instance, a new statement from the president of Square Enix strongly suggests that Xbox players will no longer be left behind on future Final Fantasy game releases – or any other game Square Enix makes. Plus: rumors of a new Doom being revealed at the upcoming Xbox Showcase heat up as Ryan implores Stella to play Doom Eternal, Assassin's Creed Shadows sounds like Ubisoft straight-up built a Splinter Cell game into it (mechanically speaking), and more!

    Trying to Make Sense of the Xbox Studio Closures

    Trying to Make Sense of the Xbox Studio Closures

    Another devastating wave of Xbox layoffs results in the closure of three Bethesda studios, including the makers of last year's shadow-dropped hit Hi-Fi Rush and the decorated developers of Prey. We do our best to make sense of the move from Microsoft, a company that has spent the better part of the past decade trying to add talent and get more exclusive games on its platforms.

Almost great

They tend to talk more about the business side of gaming, but that’s mostly because Xbox doesn’t produce a ton of their own games for them to talk about.

Cast: Miranda is great. Destin is great. Ryan is a good dude but tends to be way too long winded. Stella has got to learn how to talk without laughing.. geezus please.

Sad with Disney ,

Sick of these types of ads

These ads get cringier by the episode

Ryan is great but these days this podcast is just a round of high fives for Microsoft.
