Time to chat video games! While I'm packing and preparing for my house move, Nick and Jesse hold down the fort for the XboxEra Podcast Episode 284!

There's been plenty of going's on this week in the world of Xbox and video games. Call of Duty made headlines by announcing that SBMM is going to be set to "very low" for Black Ops 7, bringing a return to open matchmaking. Battlefield 6 has arrived and is very, very good much to the delight of everyone.
In other new, Nick wants to play 2KXO, but can't, an Assassin's Creed game was cancelled, and an ex-Halo developer shares an ominous message about the studio. Beyond that, Game Pass for this month is nuts, and we're all very, very busy. Fun times ahead!
