Episode notes
The special reviews the announcements from the June 2026 Xbox Games Showcase live, opening with expectations about Xbox’s future, its exclusives, and Game Pass. After discussing a few references to the Summer Game Showcase, the show follows the presentation with particular attention to Gears of War: E-Day: they highlight the return to the Locust invasion, its cover-based action, and the visual leap. They also discuss the dates and platforms for Fable, the Halo remake with three new missions, and A Plague Tale: Resonance.
The coverage includes State of Decay 3, Sea of Thieves’ match-creation options, and Metro 2039. Among the later announcements, they cover the Revelations DLC for Doom: The Dark Ages, the Crazy Taxi remake, updates for The Elder Scrolls Online and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, as well as Castlevania, Persona 6, Clockwork Revolution, and DMZ. They close with a divided assessment: they see a solid lineup for Game Pass and several appealing surprises, but miss a major unexpected announcement. The final debate addresses Gears of War exclusivity and the premium-edition and early-access models tied to Game Pass.
