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!
It's been a week, so perhaps it's best we settle down and get cosy with the podcast crew for the XboxEra Podcast Episode 236! Jon, Jesse and Nick are back this week to discuss all things gaming with special guest Taylor Lyles, ex-IGN Journalist and tech enthusiast. On this episode, they break down what they've been playing, from Metal Slug Tactics to our Towerborne and Halo Infinite previews. They also spend some time on all the news from this week, from the surprise appearance of Death Stranding on Xbox Series consoles, the return of the original Gear of War voice cast for Gears of War: E-Day and more. As always, all of shows and indeed, our entire site is only made possible by our incredible Patreon community, and if you'd like to join them, we'd love to have you. Just head to patreon.com/xboxera.

Another week passes us by on the slow march towards the heat death of the universe, but nothing will stop the podcast crew from getting together for the XboxEra Podcast Episode 235! Join Sik, Nick, and Jesse as they break down all the latest in gaming news from across the industry and Jesse is streaming for 12+ hours to raise money for ExtraLife, and we smashed all our targets with other $2000 raised before we even started the show. Perfect Dark has a new Creative Director, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle previews incredibly well and Dragon Age: The Veilguard received a perfect score from us (and others!), and no-one is mad about that at all, right? All this and more in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 235! As always, a big thank you to our amazing Patreon community for being just awesome. Jump in!
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!
Jon was out this week, but that didn't stop the rest of the podcast crew from getting together and chatting with our community in tow for the XboxEra Podcast Episode 233! Join Nick, Jesse and the always fantastic K.Asante for the all of the latest in gaming news! From Iron Meat, Karate Survivor, Retro Realms and Neva, the crew talk through everything they're playing - as well as the latest in gaming news! Metaphor: ReFantazio did very well and the Xbox Partner Preview showed off some cool games! Long time Halo support studio Certain Affinity have been acquired, and people are sad. They dive into all this, your community questions and more - so jump in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 233!

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!
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!
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!
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. Jump In!
MAHVEL BABY! That's right, Capcom and Xbox have sorted out their issues and will be bringing the fabled fighting game collections to our favourite platform! The PlayStation 5 Pro is wildly expensive, a Sony exec tells fired devs to "take a year and go to the beach", and more as we break it all down. Jump In!
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!
At last things are getting back to normal. The boys are back from an amazing time at Gamescom, enabled by all of the amazing community that is XboxEra. We saw cool games, nearly burnt down the AirBNB and generally had a very nice time indeed. The Console Wars Card Game Booth was a roaring success, and there are just 2 days left to back it, so get in there quick! Link here: Console Wars The Card Game by XboxEra — Kickstarter In the show, we'll talk about all the games we saw, smelt and touched, in addition to fielding the community question from our wonderful patrons. Jump in!
In an XboxEra first, the crew have travelled to the UK for the first ever live, in-person event ahead of Gamescom for the XboxEra Podcast Episode 225! This week, we dig into the latest in gaming news, from the reincarnation of Tango Gameworks via Krafton, the leaks and rumours around more "big" Xbox Exclusives going multiplatform, and just what we can expect from Gamescom next week. Because of course, the boys aren't here for a holiday! Thanks to our amazing Patreon community, we're going to Gamescom to bring you all the best Xbox coverage we can, and even better, run our very own booth promoting Console Wars the Card Game on the show floor. If you haven't backed it yet, you can do so by heading to Kickstarter, right now! Expect plenty of YouTube shorts, shenanigans, and more over the coming week. Jump in!
Sik, Nick, and Jesse are here to talk about our new Kickstarter, which you should back now, and all the latest in gaming news. Secure your copy of Console Wars The Card Game right here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/xboxera/console-wars-the-card-game Jump In!
Jon, Nick and Jesse return in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 223. 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. Jump in!
Another weekend, another show. The XboxEra Podcast Episode 222 is now ready and available for your listening and viewing pleasure. This week, the full crew return again to chat all things videogames, with a focus on the Xbox Platform. Unions are springing up all over Microsoft Gaming, we just completed our first Summer "sub-a-thon", and the community came out swinging to show their support. We talk Marvel Rivals, Flock, Deadpool & Wolverine and all the latest news, as well as hanging out with you, our wonderful community. If you value what we do, and how we do it, you can support us directly on Patreon. Just head to patreon.com/xboxera. If you listen to The XboxEra Podcast Episode 222 on Spotify, please note you can actually watch the full video right there on the app. Feel free to leave a nice, glowing 5-star review.
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!
Sik is off working on the "secret project" so Rand Al Thor joins Nick and Jesse as they break down a crazy week for Xbox. Game Pass has had a massive change, and we'll break that down and all the rest in gaming news. Jump In!
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! The episode is available via YouTube as normal, but if you're on Spotify, you can watch or listen - the choice is yours! It's in audio only on all other platforms. If you love what we do, please consider dropping us a little review - we'd really appreciate it!
In a relatively quiet week, we still manage a decently lengthy chat about all the latest in gaming. 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.
