Episode 249 | "A Failure to Communicate"

Another week passes us by, another chance for the podcast crew to chat video games, industry news and make a special announcement - it's the XboxEra Podcast Episode 249!

This week, Nick is having a little rest with his family, so Jon and Jesse are joined by the lovely Aarsaal to chat video games. Aarsaal has been enjoyingKingdom ComeDeliverance II andCitizen Sleeper 2 and managed to hit the embargoes for both, which is always nice. Jon has been playingSouth of Midnight for the preview next week, and Jesse has prepped hisAvowed review for you all to watch come embargo time.

We also chat about the PSN outage and the absolute mess that Warner Bros' Game division finds itself in. The Console Wars launch is imminent and Jon is heading to Vegas for DICE 2025.

And of course, to finally share a little surprise - Phil Spencer is joining the crew to celebrate episode 250 of the XboxEra Podcast next week!
