The XboxEra PodcastEpisode 243 | "The 5th Annual Grubbsmas Shpeshaltacular" w/ Jeff GrubbIt's the last podcast of year, so deep from within Santa's sack, a wonderful Jeff Grubb appears to join Nick for the XboxEra Podcast Episode 243!
Jon has been forced into exile for the week (and is sick with the Flu!) and Jesse is the voice of God - why? Because every year, Nick and Jeff get together to talk video games in an episode officially known as Grubbsmas.
They talk through Jeff's Christmas Train derail, Indiana Jones, Marvel Rivals and Prince of Persia and a whole host of topics. What will Xbox do in 2025? The...

This week, we're joined by the lovely Matt "Deadly" Headley, who recently garnered a lot of attention and praise for his marketing breakdown of Team Green's "This is an Xbox!" ad series. He kindly brought a written version to XboxEra for folks that wanted an alternative way to consume his op-ed beyond his excellent video.
The team dive into that, in addition to...

This week, Jon, Nick and Jesse are joined by Gareth Williams, co-founder of Press Engine. While we had plans to talk about the legendary Shuhei Yoshida moving on from 31 years at Sony, we got a little...side-tracked.
What followed was a wide-ranging conversation about Gareth's beginnings in the industry, what to...

This week, Square Enix flat out states that they want Final Fantasy 16 on Xbox, and people are apparently shocked at the news! People also get real mad if you like Starfield as Shattered Space Reviews are out in the wild.

We had surprise drops onto Xbox Game Pass, new games announced and Square brought the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters to Team Green at last.
In other news, Sony had a middling state of play (at least according to the internet at large) and poor old Ubisoft appears to be falling apart at the seams following the announced...

Hilariously, even though Nick named the episode with details of Microsoft's partnership for Cloud gaming with GeForce NOW, we actually didn't mention it once. Y'know, because we're professionals.
Expect plenty of chit chat about all of the game reviews we've dropped this week, from Flock, Path of the Goddess...
