The XboxCast

Introducing our newest challenge - 12 Days of Christmas! It's not really ours. It's True Achievements. But hey, let's all jump in and have some fun! One Week with the Xbox Series X. These are our thoughts. Along with all the normal news you've come to expect from us. And boy, do we have news! So much news just for you. It's almost impossible to remember all this news. So, you'll just have to trust us here. Oh, and there's also a dating game in here somewhere! Now put on your hat with goggles, and your other pair of goggles, and let's get Double Goggling! -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

Next Gen is officially here! Welcome to the world Xbox Series X and S! To celebrate the launch of Next Gen, we podcast with a real-life Series X sitting on the table! And we haven't even unwrapped it yet. And then we decided to do an unboxing, live on stream. So join in on all the launch day fun. In this episode we answer the question "Why buy an Xbox Series console?". -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

We're political commentators now! But not really. We still have no idea what we're talking about. Xbox Series will be the only consoles with full RDNA2 as confirmed by AMD. But what does this mean? We try explaining it, poorly. Xbox makes a fridge and I want one! We're getting closer to the Series X and S launch just as more countries go back into lockdown, making picking up a new console rather difficult. Apple TV+ coming to Xbox while Shadow of Morder servers are going offline. Such is the circle of life. -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

EA Play in GamePass is all the rage this week... And we have a list! All the news was provided by TrueAchievements thanks to Lee's laziness... We blame it on Lee going on holiday. Star Wars Episode 1 Racer is back and better than ever! CyberPunk 2077 has been delayed again. And Gears 5 is getting DLC for the Series X launch! Move maps around in Cato, live your kung-fu fantasies in Cobra Kai and run through a cyberpunk inspired city in Ghostrunner. Also, freak yourself out in Five Nights at Freddy's. Oh, and Watch Dogs: Legion is here! Who's jumping in? We also have a bunch of other scary games for you to try, but they are too scary to even mention! -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

We're so close to the end, we can taste it! It's official - Lee has given up on Resident Evil and continues to drive in circles. This time in Forza 6 and Forza 7, just add some variety, and keep things fresh. As for Kyle... Well, he has taken #terrorTober way to seriously. Finishing Blair Witch, horde mode in State of Decay 2, completing AfterParty and then finishing the story of Halo: Reach with Simone. -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

There is a pile of something coming out... It looks like bad news for Star Wars: Squadrons as it drops by twenty places in our weekly game play charts. Colour us surprised. But not really. Which game are you looking to playing on the Series X when it arrives? We have a list of Series X optimised games, 31 games so far! Time to get seriously hyped! Doom: Eternal gets its first DLC in The Ancient Gods - Part One, which looks amazing. Drive monster trucks, set up tower defences, and play Madden's little brother in Axis Football 2020. One game that piqued our interest is Macrotis: A Mother's Journey - it looks absolutely stunning. -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

You can now play Skyrim on a toaster. Because playing Skyrim on your fridge is so 2019... Forza 7 blazes onto the charts thanks to coming to GamePass. And of course, Lee gets sucked into driving around in circles again. Microsoft shows off the super impressive auto HDR coming to old gen games on the Series X. Oh, and we have a growing list of games that run at 120 FPS on the new beast. This week, you can play ice hockey, pretend to be a G.I. Joe and fly bi and triplanes! But you'll really want to go dungeon crawling in Torchlight III. Oh, and we get to relize our dreams of cooking amazing food in Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

We're almost halfway through #terrorTober and its now time to figure out our lives. Lee actually starts Resident Evil VII and has to Google how to kill zombies. Spoiler alert: you shoot them in the head. This is why you shouldn't play games with your eyes closed. We even have an update from Producer Paul! He is playing DOOM (2016). As if that's not enough, he is playing on Nightmare difficulty while one hundred precenting every level! Good on you Paul! All while Kyle decides to finish Blair Witch... -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

Let's all clap together! Clapping for our Patreons! EA Play is coming to GamePass for the Series X launch and we finally get to play The Sims! We are beyond excited for this. GamePass continues to be the best thing to happen to gaming. More news is arriving about the benefits of Xbox and cross-gen saves, including Smart Delivery and free Series X upgrades. And hold the phone - Apple TV+ is coming to Xbox to trade blows with Netflix and Disney+. It's happening! If you want to go in-depth behind the Series X and Series S design, Lee found a great Medium article for you to read. New games have you racing around in Ride 4, kicking balls in Fifa 21, racing some more in Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 and fighting aliens in Ben 10. Did you know, Kyle knew nothing about Ben 10? Luckily Lee is here to rescue him. -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

Oh, and don't forget - scary games are a must during this scary month of October. Follow along and tell us what you've been playing using the #terrorTober hashtag on social media!

We have some announcements! Join us as we kick off #terrorTober in October. And for the first time ever, we're running two challenges at the same time! For all our fans on Discord, we're doing our own version of GTASC. Two teams, a massive amount of achievements and one winner! From the best horror games on Xbox to the biggest update to No Man's Sky - we have news for everyone. Series X gets put through its paces and leaves everyone impressed. The price of the Expansion Card gets revealed and Kyle explains why its actually priced really well. And even a throwback to some Destiny 2 news... Just like in the good old days. For the new games, we have a pillow that you beat with a club of some sort in Birthday of Midnight... Fifa 21 comes out, but in classic EA fashion leaves us super confused with what version you can play, when, on what platform and for how long. Crash Bandicoot 4 jumps into reality for the nostalgia hit. And stick around for a sneaky peak behind the scenes of the Star Wars Squadrons Alpha. We have some thoughts on this game... The Xboxcast streams our podcast recording over on Twitch every Tuesday at 7PM New Zealand Time. Feel free to join us then! -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

Time to shake some fists at Forza Horizon 4! Can you believe they have censored some songs? Kyle Golf's with some friends, while Lee tries to build a house with no walls in Ark: Survival Evolved. Then Lee decides to spend a few hours trying to walk up a hill in Tom Clancy's Breakpoint. At least Kyle stays sensible with his golfing friends. -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

Who would have thought throwing money at Microsoft was so hard? Join us as we regale our pre-order stories - who got a new Xbox, who almost missed out and who didn't even bother. Did you get a new Xbox? Which one did you get? In the most shocking and disruptive gaming news in forever, Microsoft has bought Zenimax Media, and by extension Bethesda! From "having no games" to having "all the games", we go over the media reaction to this. And question those who have suddenly changed their tune from 'Exclusives are good on PS4" to "please Microsoft, don't make DOOM exclusive!" Phil is not playing around this generation, and Xbox looks to be making all the right moves. Halo 3: ODST crash lands onto Game Pass for PC in the Master Chief Collection, along with Halo 3: Firefight. Lee get's excited about a new tennis game, but we wondering if he's spent too much time in the net... Drones can now be raced in a super simulation way, so we can all pretend to be great drone pilots in The Drone Racing League Simulator, while Crossy Road meets trains in Unrailed! And just incase none of those perk your interest, you could always travel back in time to the 1930's and try your hand at being an old timey ganster in Mafia: Definitive Edition.

Lee does not play Metro Exodus in this episode. Fighting games are the name of the game, kinda. Lee plays all the fighting games - Tekken 7, Super Street Fighter IV - and not any Metro Exodus. So do not listen if you want any Metro Exodus stories. We have none. Meanwhile Kyle is obsessed with Gears 5 again, thanks to the great Game Pass perks that give you 30 days of boost!

It's all happening! The Series S, pre-orders, and even the New Xbox Experience! What do we think of all this news? You'll just have to listen to find out. For some fun, we take apart the specs of the Series S and Series X, and what they mean. We cover the new Xbox dashboard now that it is out, all our thoughts and critiques. And of course, we have normal gaming news. News like EA Play coming to Game Pass! Releasing on the Xbox this week, we have everything from football (or soccer for the rest of the world) to a dog based tactical strategy and even some farmers who shoot each other with corn. We wish we were joking about that last one! Biped is the new couch co-op game that will test your friendships. There is even this little game from 2007 that is out now and promises to melt consoles and PC's alike. It could be non other than Crysis Remastered! -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

How can you not be distracted with the Xbox Series S? But we're here to talk games! Lee rages on the streets, but at work! Streets of Rage 4 and The Division keep him busy this week. Kyle tries to survive in Don't Starve: Giant Edition, and finds it really hard! So of course, he sets fire to a forest and has to run away from hunted trees...

All the Xbox news dropped while we were recording. So please excuse our flapping as we get extremely excited. The Series X and the Series S are now official - price, specs, release date and even a pre-order date! Its all finally happening! And we're super, duper, ultra-excited. Will you be pre-ordering the Series S or Series X on September 22nd? In other news, do you remember The Rise of The Triad? Well that's getting a remaster, or remade, or re-something... From descending into the hive cities of Necromunda, to releasing men from cages, we have so many new games this week. Take your sims to a galaxy far, far away with The Sims 4: Journey to Batuu and have a go with lightsabers, or become a chicken and battle other chickens to the death. We're not here to judge...

This is it. The wrap up for our August challenge. We could have known that Lee wouldn't finish The Witcher 3, but will he continue playing it? And how much different can Nier: Automata be between its legendary playthroughs? And of course, we got completely distracted with other games... Tell us what game you played for #backToYourBacklogII in our Discord! And look at our very pretty new all-in-one social media link!

We all want chainsaws for arms, but don't put them on your head. That would just look silly. We now have a newsletter! And you can sign up to be part of our beta testers. Or alpha users. Or founding members... Whatever you call it, you're welcome to come help us test it out. How do you sign up? You'll have to join our Discord for that... Did you know Gamescom 2020 happened? We didn't. And we blame the fact that this is no longer in person. But it happened, and we have all the news for it. We go over all the games that were announced this year, and leave semi-unimpressed. Call of Duty launches November 13th, so everyone gets quite excited about more guns. Grounded gives players the bird and water fleas. Just in case you weren't creeped out enough. The Division gets announced for Games with Gold, Lightstream is coming to our rescue for direct console streaming and Everwild is dropping Xbox One support... Wat could it mean? Crusader Kings III emerges on Xbox Game Pass and comes with very high praise, along with Iron Harvest. A game we spoke about 3 years ago! Its finally coming out guys, we can all relax now. Educational Games for Kids get's Lee excited. Maybe a bit too much? But hey, we don't judge. Marvel's Avengers arrives on Xbox, sans Spiderman. But we don't have time to worry too much because we'll be too busy playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 Remaster! The Xboxcast streams every recording on Twitch on Tuesdays at 7PM New Zealand Time.

Jump over this side, go over the other side, and then fight yourself... Just your average day in Lee's Witcher 3 adventures! With the month almost over, we're still plugging away with our Back to Your Backlog II games. When we're not getting distracted by Forza. Or Destiny. Or life! Lee finally gets to kill 10 rats, and now his experience is complete. Kyle is still loving Neir: Automata, and is blown away by the way the endings are integrated. Different boss phases, different load outs, different characters - Neir has it all. Tell us what you've been playing for #backToYourBacklogII in our Discord!

We're not lazy! We're efficient! Apple and Fortnite's fight interests Lee way too much, so we dive into why the Unreal Engine can't be banned from a platform and what it means. The Xbox HotChips event has given us a lot of info to dig around in, and what everyone is taking away is the expected price increase. And the Series S specs get 'leaked' again... We also hear that Halo Infinite is now canceled on the Xbox One, but how credible is this source? For new games, we're playing battle soccer, reimagining Cinderella, and talking about Don't NOD's latest choose your own drama in Tell Me Why. Also, Wasteland 3 is coming out, and so far earning all the praise! The Xboxcast streams every recording on Twitch on Tuesdays at 7PM New Zealand Time.

Just get on with it! Halo Infinite is delayed until next year, and this is a good thing. Just trust us on this... Because now we can get another version of GTA V for our toasters instead! Xbox has over 2,000 indie games being optimised for the Series X, so there will be more than enough games on launch day. What day is launch day? We think we know. Flight Simulator takes off, and its a welcome return to form with the game getting 5/5's all over the place. We go beyond enemy lines, so far in fact, we're behind our enemies enemy lines! And Battletoads are back to smash their way into the modern world. The Xboxcast streams every recording on Twitch on Tuesdays at 7PM New Zealand Time.

#GameFace! Bytes goes over our latest community challenge - Back To Your Backlog II: Start Me Up Lee has decided to try get through The Witcher 3 in a month, which looking back might not be the best choice. Did you know how convoluted the controls are? They seem to be giving Lee a bit of a hard time... Simone decided on a much easier game - BioShock Remastered. As if going deep under water wasn't creepy enough, she now has to shoot giant robots! Kyle is playing Nier: Automata and enjoying all the hardcore ninja skillz. What are you playing?

With great technical difficulties, comes great humor. We hope... Kyle and Lee are Zoom-y bois again this episode as they go over all the news from the past week. Lee decides its time to talk about that-which-shall-not-be-named and goes over the State of Play showcase. Microsoft confirms that Xbox Live is here to stay with a wink and a nudge. Rockstar showed us Grand Theft Auto V again, this time for next gen consoles as well as your toaster. And much, much more. The new games had us feeling rather toasty with Brunch Club, and we found out that Noel can work from home with Car Mechanic Simulator Classic. But the two we're most interested in is Hyper Scape from Ubisoft and finally having Cooking Simulator on Xbox. Time to get those spatulas out!

Have you ever seen a ghost with a beard? Well neither have we, and that is super suspicious... We're moving back to weekly news! Partly because some schedules have changed, but mostly due to Lee's complaining. You're welcome Lee. And you're welcome to enjoy all the news we have missed in the past two weeks, including Xbox 20/20! Listen now to find out all our thoughts on what was announced and why we're excited for Halo Infinite. To make the podcast even longer, game dev's have decided to wait until now to release every single game! From moving gravity to making plastic army men fight, we have it all.

Don't you just hate when moon lizards ruin your day? We do too... In this episode, Kyle and Lee discuss the Series X game cases, and come away unimpressed. Seriously, its like the cases are made by a marketing team who don't even play games! The reviews for Watchdogs: Legion have left us worried about the state of the game, but at least we got WatchDogs 2 for free... No Man's Sky gets an update that we're super excited about, and more. Announcements aplenty on this episode as we announce the August challenge: Back 2 Your Backlog II: Start Me Up! For more info, check out our Patreon page. And announcing GameFace! Bites!

Foursquare? Smart watches? Getting to work late? These aren't games! A lot of No Man's Sky gets played by Kyle and Lee and Simone goes back to being a cowboy in Red Dead Online. We sympathise with Kings all over the world thanks to Age of Empires and all it's bugs... And find out about Adam and Eve's pet emo. -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

Get ready for Lee to blow your mind! Just in general though, nothing too specific. Microsoft is closing its stores, Facebook will not come to Xbox and we start gearing up for the Xbox July reveal! And we look at a great concept box for the Series X. You can't see it, but it looks really good. You'll just have to take our word for it. Kyle struggles to pronounce all the new game names. So many random letters all mushed together! You'll need metal ears for these names to make sense. These games are so confusing, we temporarily become a movie review podcast... Remember, we're streaming now on Twitch on Tuesday's at 7PM NZST.

Months, secret feet and Pinterest? What even is going on? With June ending, we wrap up #back2YourBacklog and go over how we didn't actually go back to our backlogs. Lee gave up on Jedi Fallen Order, Kyle went to Mass Effect and has still not completed it, Producer Paul actually played a game and Simone played 3 back log games! I think she is winning... When was the last time you were faced with a Game Over screen? Kyle is shocked when it turns out that you can actually lose Frostpunk! But that shouldn't stop you from playing it - its such a pretty game. Lee managed to ignore his backlog completely and get sucked back into Destiny 2. Along with Minecraft Dungeons, Human Fall Flat and COD: Modern Warfare. Thanks go out to this months patrons on Patreon - you guys are awesome and allow us to keep doing what we do.

We'll be doing another 100 follower celebration when we hit that mark. Join us as we take a deep dive into Mixer's demise and what the causes could be, along with all the news and new games that are coming this week. Brawlhalla returns to our game play chart, EA announces news stuff, and some PS5 games are coming to Xbox Series X. All in all, there is quite a lot to look forward for. Be sure to tune into our Twitch channel on Tuesday at 7PM NZST as we wrap up the #back2YourBacklog challenge, and have cake to celebrate our launch on Twitch.

Have you managed to stick with your #back2YourBacklog challenge? Or are you as distracted as we've been? Simone has changed her backlog game, Kyle has changed his backlog game and even Lee has... stuck with game he said he'd play! In a rare twist of events, Lee is the one keeping on track while Kyle and Simone have veered off on different tangents. Just what games are distracting us this week? In some exciting news - we now have merch! Listen now to find out how you can get your hands on some sweet Xboxcast stickers! -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

Old games looking even better than before - thats the promise of the Series X. And from what we've seen, it sure looks like it delivers on that promise! From Xbox sales, to Game Play charts, to the new Store coming to Xbox consoles - we cover the past fortnight in Xbox news. A new Destiny 2 trailer has us thinking about going back even! Lee even breaks down what Smart Delivery is and how you'll be playing the best version of the game on the Series X. For our new games, we dive into cooking, go biking around France and uncage Wozans. What are Wozans? Well, you'll just have to listen to find out. -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

Welcome to June! And welcome to an excuse to jump back into your backlog! You're welcome. June is our #back2YourBacklog month - a month where we play games that we started and have not finished. You're invited to join us as we explore games we have forgotten, challenge yourself to finish them with us, and reduce our collective backlogs by at least one! Simone is undecided about Star Wars: Battlefront II or Final Fantasy XIII. Lee is undecided about Jedi: Fallen Order, Halo 2, Bioshock or Mass Effect. At least Kyle has decided on Assassins Creed: Black Flag for a very logical reason. Now it's your turn - tell us what game has you going #back2YourBacklog? -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

Xbox buying Konami? At least that's the latest rumor... We expected more movement on the game play charts, but it remains underwhelming. Mafia: Definitive Edition stumbles on the One X, and Ubisoft is absolutely killing it this generation with 6 franchises reaching over 10 million copies sold. We also cover all the games being optimised for the Series X! It's getting so close, we can taste it! Minecraft Dungeons is released and Lee can not wait to play. If this episode is shorter than normal, we can all blame him for rushing off. Oh, and now you can punch Robocop in Mortal Kombat 11, go fishing in Ultimate Fishing Simulator and punch a portal in Georifters... Thanks for listening! We will see you all on Xbox Live. -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

Lee has decided to play ALL the games... Again! From racing cars, to surviving the nuclear apocalypse and even going back in time, Lee has played it. Kyle rages about Minit, gets excited about The Division 2 and tells everyone to play Astroneer. Seriously, play Anstroneer! Simone goes way back west, plays some live shows and even shoot some Covenant. And we get a long awaited update on Stardew Valley! Thanks for listening!

We're recording this by ourselves... Let's see how this goes! In this episode, we cover a bunch of people who have left other game studios and moved to the super secretive The Initiative. There is a pattern emerging, and it seems its good news for Team Green. Monster Hunter: World gets an update, and Lee forgets to mute his laptop, Apex Legends gets an awesome looking short story movie, and Saints Row: The Third goes up for digital pre-order. Prepare for the new games as we have half a list for you, including a new dating sim - Arcade Spirits! Now you can date like its 1980 all over again!

While we're stuck at home, we seem to be even more disorganized! How does that work? The news is in a shambles! It's all over the place! Seriously, what is going on? It seems everything is waiting for some reveal events coming soon... I wonder what it could be? NVidia GeForce Now is losing all the Xbox Game Studio games, you can now dance for free (because you couldn't before), we're awfully impressed with Inside Xbox and Grounded, and there's a brand new special edition Xbox One X coming out. For new games we have a cat in a robot suit, squatting guards, and one game we are most hyped about - Deliver Us The Moon! And good news too - the moon is coming to GamePass on day one.

#AprilAchievementChallenge is in full swing, but are you prepared for a shocking revelation? The nice thing about this challenge is that it forces all of us to play many different games, and it has lead to some interesting outcomes. And who knew the Telltale games were so good? Certainly not Kyle! Going all the way back to 2013 with Ryse, 2014 with Sunset Overdrive and 1997 with Age of Empires... We play them all over this month. How many games have you managed to knock off your list? Tell us on Twitter! Due to the current lock down and the world changing overnight, our audio is not the best quality. Please excuse us while we adapt to this new method of recording. And even though we're in lock down, we're still streaming live on Mixer!

Who doesn't want to fight a duck? Seriously? We have three weeks worth of news and new games to go over. From fighting ducks in World of Warships to Saints Row 3 getting a remaster, we cover it all. News is all over the place as we slowly lead up to what would have been E3 season. But alas, we now have digital events to look forward to. So more and more info is going to be trickling out slowly... Lee's job is going to get really hard. If three weeks worth of game releases have you feeling anxious, well fear not! We have our very own curated list of the games you need to know about! Each game is on our list for a reason that we, or may not, explain. You have to checkout Moons of Madness though.

Its finally here! All the delicious specs for the Xbox Series X! And we're going to go over them all... Thats right, Phil Spencer released all the info about what the beast contains in a blog post. And we're here to take it all apart for you. What is VRR and GDDR6? Is 16GB's enough gee-bees? Whats up with this 12 number everyone keeps talking about? Never you fear, we break it all down for you.

We finally experienced the true power of the Xbox One X. Just in time to get ourselves super hyped for the Series X... Kyle finally remembers to tell everyone about the Hellblade Story he has been teasing for weeks. So its OK now Kingsman, we can talk about it in the Discord! Simone and Kyle have been brushing up their dance moves in Dance Central Spotlight, and bemoan the demise of the Kinect. While remembering why we all have very strong feelings towards Harmonix. And not the good types either. More stories about Tomb Raider, Gears 5, Two Point Hospital and, of course, The Division 2... We even had a mini-meetup of sorts in The Division 2! So join our clan and join us in the game! We hope you enjoy this episode. And don't forget, we stream our recordings live every Tuesday at 7PM NZST only on Mixer! And we now have an Instagram!

Because if your fish is not smart, its dinner! And now news has exploded, in a way! DOOM Eternal targets 60FPS on even the base Xbox One while Gears 5 gets an update, Forza Horizon 4 gets an update and State of Decay 2 gets an update! Does anyone see a pattern here?

Everything is being cancelled. And all the news that would have come out, hasn't! So this is a very quiet week... And what do we do with quiet weeks? Well we pad them out as much as possible! Thats right, non-stop nonsense from beginning to end as we try to find stuff to talk about. The Xbox Series X allows you to resume games after a reboot - which has us even more hyped. Fortnite and GTA V are still leading our gameplay charts, more games leave Game Pass and we get two new special edition controllers. Seriously, that it for news... For the new games, really only one is a standout, and that's an expansion to The Division 2 - Warlords of New York. Speaking of which, we have a clan in The Division 2. So if you play, and wanna hang out with us cool kids, look for The Xboxcast clan and sign up! You'll get to play with Lee, myself and Simone, along with most of our fans. So what are you waiting for?

We have three very important announcements! What are they? Are they exciting? You'll have to listen to find out... In another twist, Kyle is still playing *all* the games while Lee is stuck on two. I mean, even Simone is playing more games than Lee at the moment. No wonder the universe feels slightly odd currently... Kyle surrenders Outer Wilds for now, gets super confused in No Man's Sky, bumbles his way through The Division 2 and dives back into Tomb Raider. You know, the 2013 one... Meanwhile, Lee plays The Division 2 and Black Flag. Looks like hes found something to stick with... Simone also dives into The Division 2 to join everyone else. Oh, and shes gone back to Dance Central Spotlight to bust a move! We should stream this at some point... We hope you enjoy this episode.

Its the Xbox Series X episode! No, seriously, we have a bunch of news about the series X and you'll want to listen to our semi deep-dive into the hardware and what it means for you! An ordinary Tuesday morning (Monday for our US peeps), got completely disrupted with Phil Spencer dropping a bomb. All the specs for the Series X was published in a blog post, and pretty much destroyed the internet. So of course this is our take on it. Oh, and other news happened too... Sea of Thieves got yet another free update, which looks awesome. No Man's Sky got another free update, which looks awesome. The Xbox dashboard got another free update, which looks awesome! PUBG got another free update, which enabled cross-play between Xbox and Playstation. Look, everything got an update, ok! We hope you enjoy this episode.
