When it comes to tracking down trucks, you should sleep outside in a tent! And disguise yourself as a glass bottle.
Life advice right here.
We don't talk much about games, we talk more about life in this episode. Sometimes, you just need to talk about life.
Did you know we have a The Division 2 Clan? We're all playing so much Div2. It's become the new Destiny 2. So jump in and join us!
After April, are you going to join us for our Anthem playthrough?
You're formally invited now. So no excuses.

According to Lee, horses are just cows with big necks. Luckily we're a gaming podcast and not a veterinary one!
Cyberpunk 2077 gets an update, promising to bring realistic police to the game. We're not sure what they had before, but if they were any more realistic, we'd be arrested for the puns we make... FPS Boost on the Series X is great! Until it isn't. There's a bug that forces games down to 1080p and the internet is not letting you forget it. And because Lee likes stats (well we all do! Who doesn't like a good stat?), we chat about al the GamePass stats Microsoft is sharing.
In some big news Octopath Traveller comes to Xbox and GamePass day and date of release, along with another Yukaza game. And there's also a Vet Simulator thrown in for all your budding vets out there.

You can look forward to such exciting things such as:
Lee reviewing the new Xbox Wireless Headset while rocking the deep-V
Simone recounting her early morning adventures
Kyle living his best life
And we're starting to get hyped for the April Achievement Challenge. Are you in? Because you should be. It's going to be great fun. All the info about this is here for you.
We also managed to play some games. Kinda...

Bethesda is now officially part of Xbox!
So of course Game Pass is now getting all the games. We can now play play Skyrim for the 400th time!
Get your free Porche in Forza Horizon 4, and Lee talks about the Xbox Wireless headset he reviewed in the very next #GameFace! episode. Do you know we have a clan in The Division 2? Because we do! And you should totally join.
And we finally have the answer about Bethesda exclusives! Xbox is now the home of Western RPG's, and we're so excited we can barely sit still.
For the new games, we have so much release fodder. Just about every single game in the world is being released this week, for some reason.

This is our 200th episode!
Woohoo!
You guys seriously deserve a medal for listening to over 200+ hours of us talk nonsense about Xbox, games, and life. We're super happy you've stuck around though. Give yourself a pat on the back from all of us!
For our 200th episode, we go back in time and have a chat about what got us into Xbox.
Why did we start down this path, what was the catalyst, what tipped us over the edge...? And other questions you never knew you needed the answers to.
So, sit down and join the whole Xboxcast - Kyle, Lee, Simone, and Paul - as we go over our history with this amazing little device we call the Xbox.

We have names for stuff and things.
Yes we do...
By the time you listen to this, it's more like old news... Not much we can do about that really.
Unless of course you join us on Twitch! Live streaming directly to your face every Tuesday night at 8 PM New Zealand time!
This week, we talk all about the EU approving the Bethesda/Zenimax buy out buy out by Xbox. What does it mean? What will happen now? Are we getting exclusive Elder Scrolls? We know nothing, but that doesn't stop us from giving our opinions anyways. Are you excited? Because you should be! Why? We don't know...
And as an added bonus, we go over a bunch of Division 2 stats to really get you excited about this game. Did you know we have a clan in Div2? Because we do and you should totally join. Diablo 2 Resurected is coming and we may be a tad excited. There is almost too much news. We may need help just to keep up.
Don't forget to join our Patreon and Discord!

GameFace! Bytes is back and ready to tell you all about the Outriders demo.
What we like, what we don't. How far we got, where we stopped and what we did. And everything in-between... What do we really think of this game from our first few hours with it, and will we be buying it?
Find out all the answers now!
We're still wrapping our head around podcasting remotely and internationally, so these first few episodes may be rough. You have been warned!

Three. Meter. Pizza!
And wobbling home...
The gameplay charts are looking flat. Come on guys, play something else! Anything else. We don't care and won't even mind. We go over all the new games coming to Xbox Series X as shown off by Playstation. Talk about the March Xbox event and even look back on the Series X and S myths that turned out to be true.
Then, prepare your inner 13-year old boy as we race, crash and customise Monster Trucks in Monster Jam Steel Titans! And race through the solar system in Orbatal Racer. Oh, and there is even a mini rant about 3 out of 10... All this and more!

It's the Lee and Paul take over episode you've been waiting for!
Kinda...
Join Lee, Producer Paul and Kyle as they go over the news from the past week.
No Man's Sky goes Pokémon with the pet update. Metro Exodus shows how powerful the little Series S really is. And is Xbox going to buy Kojima Studios? Some people think so...
Crazy Taxi is back! But not really. There a new game called Taxi Chaos which seems to be a Crazy Taxi clone... There are new games coming out, but it doesn't seem to be super exciting...
