Another week, another deluge of awesome video games and hot topics to discuss. From big releases like Crimson Desert to the 'Yassification' of all our video games, we get into all the drama in the DayOne Show Episode 306!
We're joined this week by the lovely MVG, who once again joins the panel to talk about the latest goings on. First up, video games! Jesse finally released his Crimson Desert review, and the game is now out for everyone worldwide - though there are a host of issues and hiccups folks are assuredly contending with.
I've released a lengthy preview for Capcom's Pragmata, taking on New York in a couple of hours of gameplay while I was at GDC earlier this month. MVG has been enjoying Resident Evil Reqiuem - he's on his third playthrough - and Nick is...playing Fortnite.
In news, we kick things off with the discussion around Xbox One, and how the big console from 2013 has finally been hacked - only took 13 years! We also get MVG's take on Project Helix and the challenges Microsoft face in making that hybrid system a reality.
Other big topics this week are a of course the 'Yassification' of all our video games thanks to NVIDIA DLSS 5,. which was shown off this week. It earned a fair amount of criticism - with content creators coming under fire. The gaming community was also up in arms about whether it's good or bad. Other big news topics saw Starfield finally come to PS5, so I'm collecting my flowers. We have a preview of both the Free Lanes and Terran Armada updates, if you're keen.
Krafton are back in the news, with a judge siding with the then fired CEO and reinstating him. Definitely one of the crazier stories this week. Xbox Game Pass have announced their second wave for March, with Absolum coming for Ultimate subscribers. Xbox also announced new features for console users, and hell - there's a bunch of other things we disc

What a week it's been! Between some great game releases and more than a few glimpses at the next generation of Xbox consoles, the crew return to break it all down and hopefully have some fun along the way. It's the DayOne Show Episode 305!
While the crew have been busy covering the industry, I've returned from a fantastic trip to GDC, where I've caught up with developers and publishers, in addition to checking out a whole heap of games. Suffice to say, I've got plenty of previews to write!
In terms of games, I've reviewed Toxic Commando, which is out now and is pretty good if somewhat stupid fun for your multiplayer crew, if such things take your fancy. Jesse is hard at work playing through Crimson Desert, which you can expect to see more on later this week. Nick is still ploughing through Resident Evil Requiem, and he's having a very good time doing so.
Beyond all those wonderful games, GDC and Xbox's new hardware, codenamed 'Project Helix' has been the hot topic of discussion. The wizard that is the lovely Jason Ronald took to the stage for the keynote speech, as Xbox lifted the lid on their vision for what's next - a new Xbox console that plays all your existing Xbox content, as well as all your PC games. Is this as good as it sounds? We'll have to wait to find out. We managed to snag a video of the talk, because we're good like that.
In other news, the team chatted through other hot topics, be it the Xbox faithful longing to see the return of exclusive content and whether this new machine is a PC or a console or if it really matters at all. Backwards compatibility also came back as a topic, as Xbox tease more to come, and dedicated Xbox fans start a website to allow the community to vote on the games we all want to see return.
We also tackle all your community questions, as well as have some fun at deciding the new name for the next generation Xbox. Tune in, have fun and as always, thank you for supporting us directly.

What was perhaps going to be an uneventful week, instead became a little more dramatic. A new report from Bloomberg's Jason Schrier suggested PlayStation have decided to 'pull back' from PC releases for their tentpole first party games, which has caused a fair bit of discussion. Perhaps not wanting to be left out, Microsoft Gaming CEO Asha Sharma casually revealed Project Helix, the next generation of Xbox hardware. All this and more in the DayOne Show Episode 304 with special guest Rand Al Thor 19!
I'm out this week, so I'm hastily putting together the podcast episode before I head off to the airport to attend GDC. But for now you can check out all the latest video game reviews from us, and many of them are discussed on the show. This week saw Planet of Lana II release on all platforms, which I reviewed. For some bonus content, I sat down with the developers at Wishfully for a spoiler filled chat.
Jesse reviewed WWE 2K26, which is out now, and previewed Mouse P.I For Hire, which is coming next month. Nick took a spin on Scott Pilgrim EX for his latest review. Kat reviewed Vampire Therapist, which is finally releasing on Xbox and Gyozo took iRacing Arcade for a spin. And of course, everyone (except me!) has been playing Resident Evil Requiem.
Outside of all the games we've been playing, it's fair to say that news has really been focused on two major topics this week. Firstly, the report from Bloomberg on Sony's change of direction for their relationship with PC releases, as they reportedly 'pull back' from releasing their big games on PC - outside of live service and multiplayer games.
Not to be one-upped in taking their share of the headlines, the new Microsoft Gaming CEO Asha Sharma had a little something to share before GDC kicked off next week. Project Helix is the name of the next-generation of Xbox hardware, and it will play your Xbox console games...and PC games too! In other news, Highguard is shutting down on March 12th, which is a sad end for the game and the studio, and despite reports to the contrary, Valve recommit to shipping the Steam Machine at some point this year.
Plenty of conversation, laughter and gaming chit chat, as well as your community questions, so as always - jump in!
