What Can Elder Scrolls 6 Learn From Crimson Desert?
Episode 625
Show notes
Episode #625: Can Elder Scrolls 6 give us that Skyrim feeling again? Crimson Desert’s latest expansion has us talking about more than pirate ships and new places to explore. It raises a bigger question: what do we actually want from the next great open-world game? This week, we debate whether deeper systems and faster updates can replace the magic of a longtime favorite—or whether the best gaming memories belong as much to a moment in our lives as the games themselves.
We start with Crimson Desert expansion impressions and trailer reactions, from customizable ships and naval battles to strongholds, businesses, and reasons to revisit camp. There’s plenty we’re excited about, a few interface frustrations, and one very strong objection to starting a pirate adventure with a fishing trip. We also discuss Pearl Abyss’s approach to ongoing support and why the phrase “single-player MMO” keeps coming up.
That leads into our hopes for The Elder Scrolls VI, the rumors discussed on the show, and a friendly disagreement about whether Crimson Desert has actually surpassed Skyrim. MrMcspicey, X1TheGamer, and Jordtheman weigh personal attachment against modern game design, revisit their experiences with Starfield and Fallout, and talk about what makes a studio earn our confidence in its next release.
We also look ahead to GTA VI and ask how Rockstar might balance Red Dead Redemption 2’s cinematic storytelling with GTA V’s ridiculous, unforgettable characters. Plus, our latest Lobby Legends session reminds us why Hexen’s interconnected levels are still worth exploring. Join your positive gaming and Xbox community for big worlds, old favorites, and the games we can’t stop talking about.Who are the XoneBros?

What Would Make You Upgrade to the Next Xbox?
Episode 624
Show notes
Episode #624: What would make you upgrade to the next Xbox? This week on XoneBros, we debate whether better graphics and higher frame rates would be enough, especially with a rumored Project Helix price range raising some big questions. We’re still impressed by what our current consoles can deliver, so what would a new Xbox need to do differently to earn a place in the living room?
X1TheGamer also brings his new ROG handheld into the studio, and seeing Gears running on that OLED screen gets our attention. We compare the feel, grips, and portability, then discuss what a rumored first-party Xbox handheld could offer beyond existing PC handhelds. A simpler setup, a console-like interface, and access to the games we already own are high on the wish list.
The hardware conversation leads into upscaling, longer console lifespans, and whether we’re more interested in playing our games in new places than replacing the box under the TV. We also talk Final Fantasy Resonance, our interest in Valor Mortis, and an idea for an AI-run Dungeons & Dragons session that would finally let all three of us play without anyone knowing what happens next.
Then we revisit Xbox’s classic dashboards, from the original 360 blades to NXE and Metro. Would we actually use them again, or do we just miss our avatars, old achievements, and the memories attached to them? Join MrMcspicey, X1TheGamer, and Jordtheman for another week with your positive gaming and Xbox community, plus a detour through custom soundtracks, iPods, and the unpredictable days of downloading music.Who are the XoneBros?

Xbox Labs Has Us Imagining What Comes Next
Episode 623
Show notes
Episode #623: Xbox Labs has us imagining what comes next for the games we love. This week on XoneBros, we discuss AI-assisted development, game preservation, and the possibility of a much wilder modding scene. From bringing older favorites to modern hardware to giving talented developers more room to experiment, there’s plenty to be excited about. But what happens to original ideas when recreating someone else’s work gets easier, too?
We also react to the GTA VI trailer and immediately start questioning our gaming schedules. The animation, atmosphere, and unmistakable Rockstar style have our attention, but can we squeeze in another massive adventure before diving into Grand Theft Auto? Our backlogs may have a different answer.
On the hardware side, a new handheld purchase kicks off a conversation about why portable gaming makes it easier to actually play. Couch time, lunch breaks, and even gym sessions all enter the discussion. Then we take a look at the compact Xbox controller, its retro-inspired shape, and whether those smaller sticks will deliver the feel we want.
Finally, we’ve been playing Gears together, and Horde Siege is giving us plenty of reasons to return. We talk progression, different play styles, and the fun of figuring it out as a squad, alongside menus that make finding almost anything a challenge. Join MrMcspicey, X1TheGamer, and Jordtheman for another week of Xbox conversation, gaming enthusiasm, and the usual detours with your positive gaming and Xbox community.Who are the XoneBros?

Is Gears E-Day The Best Gears Since The Trilogy?
Episode 622
Show notes
Episode #622: Gears of War: E-Day is here, and the XoneBros are digging into what works, what feels weird, and why this might be the best Gears has felt since the original trilogy. X1TheGamer, MrMcspicey, and Jordtheman talk through their time with the campaign, four player co-op, Horde Siege, the return of the Chainsaw Lancer, and why the game already feels like a much needed Xbox win.
The crew also gets honest about the parts that slow the experience down. The linear missions feel strong, but the open zone structure creates some awkward co-op moments, strange checkpointing, and squad tethering that gets in the way of the fun. There’s also a lot of talk about the game’s pacing, forced dialogue moments, character writing, and whether the new squad members measure up to classic Gears characters.
Beyond the campaign, Horde Siege gets a strong reaction for its bigger team setup, objective based waves, boss fights, class progression, and that addictive Gears loop. The conversation also gets into the online noise around the game, why the crew thinks players should judge it for themselves, and how Gears E-Day compares to other co-op shooters like Space Marine.
Plus, Jordtheman gets exposed for secretly playing ahead, the crew talks Warhammer, MMOs, Game Pass backlog problems, Guild Wars nostalgia, and why every real gamer does the “can I kill this NPC?” test. It’s classic XoneBros: Xbox talk, co-op chaos, strong opinions, and way too much betrayal.Who are the XoneBros?

Xbox Is Not For Sale, And Gears Is Back
Episode 621
Show notes
Gears of War: E-Day is here, and the first impressions are exactly what Xbox fans were hoping for. MrMcspicey, X1thegamer, and Jordantheman talk through the campaign opening, the updated movement, Siege mode, handheld play on the ROG Xbox Ally X, and why this feels like the kind of big Xbox moment the brand has needed for a long time.
The crew also reacts to Xbox leadership shutting down the idea that Xbox is being sold off. After weeks of speculation, the answer seems pretty clear: Xbox is still Xbox, the games are still coming, and the conversation around the brand is a lot more interesting when it’s rooted in what players are actually getting.
From there, the show turns into a full games conversation. RuneScape Dragonwilds has quietly become the group’s cozy survival game of choice, with fishing, farming, dungeon runs, base raids, locked chests, and a blood pact that is already falling apart. Dune: Awakening gets compared as the heavier survival option, while Dragonwilds keeps winning the crew over by feeling lighter, softer, and easier to live in.
They also get into the current wave of releases, including The Witcher 3 upgrades, Disco Elysium, Keeper, Mythic, Prominence Poker’s impossible billion-chip achievement, and a cyberpunk life sim that immediately gets everyone’s attention. It’s a packed week for Xbox, and it feels like the calm before a much bigger storm of games.

Activision Taking Over Halo Might Be Exactly What Xbox Needs
Episode 620
Show notes
Episode #620: Activision is reportedly taking over development on the next Halo, and honestly, this might be one of the most exciting moves Xbox has made in years. The XoneBros break down why giving Halo to a team with deep shooter experience could be the reset the franchise needs, what Activision could bring from Call of Duty without turning Halo into Call of Duty, and why a great Halo game still matters so much for Xbox.
We also dig into the leaked Xbox Mythic achievement system, including the badge, the sound, the name, and why this could finally give Xbox players a real reason to go back and finish games. Mythic achievements could make 100 percent completions feel special in a way Xbox has needed for a long time, especially if they show up clearly on player profiles.
Plus, we talk about RuneScape: Dragonwilds, Star Wars Zero Company, Destiny’s latest apology video, and the weird pride that comes from comparing completed games. From Qbot to Elden Ring to Prominence Poker, this episode somehow becomes a full debate over what counts as a “real” 100 percent completion.
Join the XoneBros as we talk Halo’s future, Xbox’s new achievement chase, Dragonwilds co-op chaos, and why prestige still matters in gaming. It’s a big week for Xbox fans, and there’s a lot to be excited about.

Could World Of Warcraft Be Coming To Xbox?
Episode 619
Show notes
Episode #619: This week, we dive into World of Warcraft Forever and why it feels like the clearest path for Warcraft to finally make sense on Xbox. Native controller support, the classic-style world, the ROG Xbox Ally experience, and the idea of a fresh perpetual version of WoW all sparked a huge conversation about whether Blizzard is setting this up for console players.
We also talk about the return of StarCraft, the new third-person direction, and why bringing that universe back could be one of the smartest moves Blizzard has made in years. If Xbox wants Blizzard to feel exciting again, Warcraft and StarCraft are the two franchises that can do it.
Plus, we get into Star Wars Zero Company, turn-based strategy games, Halo Wars, Kingmakers, Control Resonant, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Dragon Wilds, Palworld, Ocarina of Time, and the absolute avalanche of games hitting right now. It’s one of those weeks where the backlog is not just growing, it’s actively laughing at us.
We also touch on Kojima’s Xbox presence, what it means for perception in Japan, Double Fine’s post-Xbox moment, and whether Xbox finally has stronger leadership and accountability around its studios. Big Blizzard talk, big Xbox energy, and a whole lot of games to play.

Crimson Desert, Dawnwalker, And Xbox Ownership
Episode 618
Show notes
Episode #618: This week, we dive into the new Crimson Desert expansion trailer and why it immediately pulled the crew right back in. Ships, player housing, dragons, underwater exploration, new combat moves, and a whole new area make this feel way bigger than a simple DLC drop. Pearl Abyss is treating Crimson Desert like a living world, and we talk through why that might be one of the most interesting things happening in gaming right now.
We also get into Xbox Disc to Digital and why it could be a huge step for game ownership. Turning a physical disc into a digital license, while still letting that license move with the disc if you sell it or give it away, feels like a smart bridge between physical collections and digital convenience. Add Xbox Play Anywhere to that, and the future of carrying your library across console, PC, and handheld starts to look a lot better.Who are the XoneBros?

GTA 6, Gears E-Day, And A Huge Week For Xbox
Episode 617
Show notes
Episode #617: This week, we react to the extended Grand Theft Auto VI reveal and break down why it has us more excited than ever. From the scale of Vice City to the lighting, driving, gunplay, character switching, and all the tiny Rockstar details, this was the kind of gameplay look that makes you stop and realize just how big this game could be.
We talk through the Netflix first reveal, whether that rollout helped or hurt the moment, and how the trailer landed after we finally got to watch it. The crew gets into Jason and Lucia, the car chase sequence, the improved combat, the world detail, the possible mini games, the social media systems, and why GTA 6 already looks like a game people could get lost in for years.
Gamescom also gave us plenty to dig into. The Blood of Dawnwalker has our attention with its vampire Witcher energy, 30 day story structure, day and night systems, and choice driven world. Then Gears of War: E-Day brought the Xbox energy back with Marcus, Dom, brotherhood, brutal Locust, and a trailer that felt exactly like what Gears should be.Who are the XoneBros?

Gears E-Day, Xbox 25, And A Wild Week For Xbox
Episode 616
Show notes
Episode #616: Xbox had one of its most interesting fan culture weeks in a long time. Between the leaked 25th anniversary controller, the Gamescom lineup, Gears E-Day collectibles, and even Xbox trading cards, it feels like Microsoft is leaning into the history and personality of the brand in a way fans can actually connect with.
This week we talk through the Xbox 25th anniversary controller, the rumored price, the throwback design, and why the small details matter. We also dive into Gears E-Day, including the Gibson guitar giveaway, the full-scale Lancer replica, the multiplayer beta, and why the return to the classic Gears tone has us cautiously excited.

This week, the XoneBros react to the new Top Gun: Maverick crossover, including Carrier Strike, Fighter Sweep, new jets, Wake Island energy, and the very real possibility that most of us will crash into the ocean within five minutes.
We also talk Gears, Halo co-op progress, Quake, racing sim setups, Forza Motorsport, F1 rigs, flight sim hardware, and why David may be dangerously close to turning his office into a full cockpit.

This week, the XoneBros talk through the idea of an Xbox “platinum” style system, why PlayStation’s trophy setup has worked so well, and what Xbox needs to get right if it wants achievement hunting to feel more rewarding.
We also get into Bethesda, Skyrim, and the long wait for Elder Scrolls 6. Did Skyrim’s endless success slow everything down? Is Bethesda facing a bigger challenge after Starfield? And what does Xbox need from Fallout and Elder Scrolls going forward?

The Honest Halo: Campaign Evolved Review
Episode 613
Show notes
Episode #613: Halo: Campaign Evolved is finally here, and we jumped into legendary four-player co-op to see if the magic still holds up.
The good news? The main campaign is a blast. Sprint feels great, the weapons hit harder, friendly fire makes everything funnier, and the whole thing captures that classic Halo chaos with the boys. It feels like going back to the college dorms — grenades everywhere, Marines flying through the sky, and nobody playing responsibly.
The not-so-good news? The new prequel missions are rough. They have a few cool moments, but overall they feel flat enough to make us wonder what they say about the future of Halo. We also get into the weird internet outrage around the game, the Cortana model debate, awkward cutscenes, Unreal Engine 5 rough edges, and what Halo Studios should do next.

Episode #612: This week on XoneBros, we talk about console generations, why hardware leaps don’t feel as dramatic as they used to, how AI demand is affecting RAM, chips, and PC building, and why the next Xbox generation could be shaped by more than just raw power.
We also get into Crimson Desert playtime, cooking mechanics, Gears of War nostalgia, motion sickness from old-school roadie running, Halo on a modern engine, and whether old games hit differently when you didn’t grow up with them.

We’re also breaking down the massive shakeup happening over at Xbox.

Between the tech talk, the crew gets into a legendary discussion over the ergonomics of the N64 controller—possibly the most contested piece of plastic in gaming history. Plus, we break down the rumored Xbox "Disc to Digital" feature and why it's a game-changer for preservation.

GTA 6 Ultimate Edition: Genius or Greedy? (GTA VI Preorder & Pricing)
Episode 608
Show notes
Episode #608: The Xbox Series S is getting a massive price jump on August 1st—get yours now before it hits $499. We're breaking down why hardware costs are skyrocketing, the reality of the global RAM shortage, and why the "data center vacuum" is making your next console more expensive.
Then, we dive deep into the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition. The internet is losing its mind over "gameplay mechanics behind a paywall," but we're calling out the performative outrage. From bespoke tattoo shops to immersive hideouts, we discuss why Rockstar’s approach to deluxe content is actually a masterclass in immersion. We also tackle the digital-only rumors, the death of physical discs, and whether modern writing can ever top the chaos of Trevor and Lamar.Who are the XoneBros?
