Happy New Year! Now that the PS5 and the Series X have been out for a while we are taking a step back to re-examine and reevaluate our experiences with the next-gen hardware.

Today’s episode is going to be a little bit different as we will be checking in with an Xbox Series X owner (Evan) and a PS5 owner (Amir) to get their reevaluate takes with the consoles after about spending a month with them.

We are also taking a look forward by asking ourselves what we might want out of the newest console generation. Thanks for watching and listening to the Inside Gaming podcast and have a great weekend everyone!

* Please note we are still on break and this was recorded just before the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 which would have been a fun litmus test for both consoles but the game wasn’t out yet.
