  • Episode 270 | "A Dark Day"
    Absolutely awful. There's no other way to describe the week Xbox has just had, and it sure has many fans genuinely concerned for the Xbox platform. The crew get together for some hopefully insightful discussion on what happens next in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 270.Myself, Nick and Jesse return to chat about all the awful things that happened this week, in addition to some of the good. We saw Microsoft begin mass-layoffs, with other 9000 employees affected worldwide, and a sizeable chunk within the Xbox division. Rare's Everwild was cancelled. Perfect Dark and it's studio, The Initiative, was shutdown. A reportedly promising title, 'Project Blackbird' came to an unfortunate end for Zenimax Online Studios, that saw their leader, Matt Firor depart Xbox forever. Even Turn 10, a legendary studio that had been around since the original Xbox, didn't escape unscathed, with 50% of staff reportedly let go. Even partner studios have been affected, with Romero Games losing their funding from Xbox. Suffice to say, it's left Xbox fans feeling pretty down in the dumps, and I know you'll join me in wishing the developers affected the best of luck in landing on their feet. The drama didn't stop there however. This week also saw another bombshell announcement that saw - for the first time - a PlayStation Studios title land on the Xbox platform. That's right - Helldivers 2 is coming to Xbox, in a move that challenges many preconceived notions about Sony's 1st Party Strategies.We ask the big questions. Can we trust Xbox anymore? Who's to blame for this catastrophic week? Is it really down to Phil Spencer, Matt Booty and Sarah Bond, or do we need to look to the unrealistic expectations of CEO Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood? Is Xbox Game Pass to blame?

  • Episode 269 | "A Different Kind of Meta"
    It's been a relatively quiet week in video games, but for some awful reports of what has now become standard for this industry - mass layoffs! Join the crew for the XboxEra Podcast Episode 269!Myself, Nick and Jesse are back for all things video games, and the show gets off to a relatively rough start - mostly because I'd been enjoying the sunshine and the beverages! But never mind all that, there's a few things to dive into. We talk through some of the games we've been playing, from I Am Your Beast to the lovely System Shock 2: Remaster. There's also a massive review on Soulstone Survivors, if that's your jam.We also discuss the rip-roaring success for Sloclap and Rematch before diving in to all things Xbox, which is a bit miserable because of all the reports of mass layoffs, and worse - studio closures. We talk through it all, in addition to the new Xbox PC App updates and of course, our intentions to get out and enjoy Gamescom 2025.As always, everything we do is made possible and supported by our incredible community.

    Despite the summer showcases being firmly behind us, we weren't left wanting for interesting developments in the video game industry to discuss! Sit back and relax for the XboxEra Podcast Episode 268!This week, we're joined by none other than the lovely Ryan McCaffrey from IGN, Unlocked and Ride The Lightning. Together with myself, Nick and Jesse, we discuss his beginnings in the industry, his take on Microsoft's moves back to a more PC like gaming system and more!We discuss these things because this week, both Xbox and AMD released short videos expressing their commitment to Xbox hardware, both in your living room, and in your hands. It made us ask - and answer - ⁠What's the point of Xbox?Beyond that, we also have a commitment from Sarah Bond, President of Xbox and Lisa Su, CEO of AMD that these devices will continue to play our existing library of games and not be tied to a single online store. Exciting stuff!We also chat about Rematch, FF16 , FBC: Firebreak and TRON: Catalyst in addition to all of the other video games news, from Marathon's delay and Splitgate 2 layoffs.As Ryan himself made very clear - if you love what we do, consider supporting us for less than a cup of coffee a month by heading over to patreon.com/xboxera.
