What a crazy week! Between Sony’s State of Play, Tokyo Game Show and the ROG Xbox Ally news, it’s been very busy times. The podcast crew get together to chat through it all in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 282!
While we’ve been playing plenty of games, from SILENT HILL f to Final Fantasy Tactics or Sonic Racing: Crossworlds and Dying Light The Beast, there’s still been plenty of video gaming news to sink our teeth into.
We got to see a little from OD thanks to Kojima Productions, and it looks great. Sony had a State of Play, with Wolverine finally being revealed, another Xbox game heading to PlayStation with Flight Simulator 2024 and a little more footage of Saros. Microsoft and Xbox held their Tokyo Game Show Broadcast where we finally got the ‘surprise‘ reveal of Forza Horizon 6, and it’s set in Japan. They talked about the ROG Xbox Ally during the show, but didn’t reveal the price, instead letting ASUS shock people (when it comes to the US price at least) later that day.
All this and more to listen to, and as always, if you value what we do, consider supporting us directly on Patreon. Just head to patreon.com/xboxera to make a difference and keep your favourite independent Xbox-focused publication alive.
