The XboxEra Podcast

What a week in video games it's been! Indiana Jones and Marvel Rivals have arrived, and the podcast crew kick back to discuss it all in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 240! Bit of an unusual episode this week! The UK is being battered by a large storm, and Jesse and Nick were a bit amused as Jon experienced a power cut as soon as the show went live. He managed to stick around via mobile to talk about Indiana Jones and Marvel Rivals, which both released this week. Indiana Jones is fantastic, and both Nick and Jesse are pretty keen on Marvel Rivals. Jesse reviewed the new TV series "Secret Level" and The Game Awards gets some 'predictions' from Nick. All this and more, so jump in! If you love what we do, please consider supporting us directly via Patreon.

This week despite having a plan (or at least the workings of one) to talk about all the latest in gaming news, the team ended up on a bit of a tangent. Buckle up for the XboxEra Podcast Episode 239 - it's a long one! This week, Jon, Nick and Jesse are joined by Gareth Williams, co-founder of Press Engine. While we had plans to talk about the legendary Shuhei Yoshida moving on from 31 years at Sony, we got a little...side-tracked. What followed was a wide-ranging conversation about Gareth's beginnings in the industry, what to do if you're starting out covering video games and the importance of indies and game discovery. We also talk at length about handhelds, the gaming media, the industry itself and of course, lots of questions from our wonderful Patreon community. Oh and yes, I'm playing Indiana Jones.

Another weekend passes us by, and of course another week of the insanity that is the video game industry. Sit back and unwind as we break it all down in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 238! Join Jon, Nick and Jesse as we break down all the latest in video games from across the industry! Avowed got some pretty great looking previews, but we weren't invited and are definitely not bitter about it at all. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 got off to a very rocky start, but seems to have sorted itself out now and folks are touring the entire planet in various flying machines. But many others are stepping into the zone for the first time, as they wrangle with the massive world of STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, which while getting a mixed reception from video game critics, has sold over a million copies, with many more folks playing via Xbox Game Pass. Oh, and Sony might be buying the parent company of FromSoftware. So that's fun. All this and more, so jump in!

Another weekend rolls around and the team unite once more to talk about everything Xbox for the XboxEra Podcast Episode 237! Join Jon, Nick and Jesse as they break down all the latest from across the video game industry, with a focus on your favourite platform, Xbox. Phil Spencer has been on tour and shared some tidbits on new hardware and the removal of red lines when it comes to Xbox franchises going elsewhere. South of Midnight looks incredible in a new documentary, and Avowed gets a fancy steelbook edition with 5 days early access included. Oh, and everything is an Xbox now. Even you. Especially us. Is it all about the ecosystem now? Jon thinks so. All this and more, so jump in!
