In a special turn of events, our live stream for this weeks episodes were such a hit, that Simone even stayed on to give her unsolicited opinions on the news! Just like old times.

We didn't make it, so we can't take all the credit, but you can still thank us later. Wolfenstein: Youngblood is blasting onto your Xboxs this week!
Xbox hardware tanks in this past quarter as the world holds its breath for the new most powerful console in Scarlett, but thanks to Game Pass Ultimate, Xbox Live usage has jumped to 65 million people! If only they would all listen to this podcast... Monster Hunter: World is celebrating 13 million units sold by giving free stuff away. Seriously, go now and log in! Free in game items guys!

We are back, ladies and gentlemen!
After Kyle and Simone's three week trip, and a small mid-year break, we're in your ear holes again. And boy does it feel good!
As a thow back to the old days, Lee's news is completely out of whack. So yeah - have fun following that along! Fishing game Fishing Planet is out now as a free to play and Play Anywhere title, so theres no reason not to get your rods out. Is Microsoft releasing a cheaper console just for XCloud game streaming? We don't know! Destiny 2 has some news, along with The Division 2 and then its back to the Microsoft news... The news this week is an adventure!
New games will have you playing as an avocado, mowing mutant laws, playing with gravity and being scared by a non-existent town in the UK.
And don't forget - we now have email addresses! Its true. You can email us!

Its that time of the year again! Time for our annual break down of all the excitement from Xbox's E3 Keynote thing.
And strap yourself in... Its going to be a monster!
The Xboxcast go over every single announcement the Xbox team made on stage, and for those watching our live stream, even got to see the trailers! We are that profesh! From The Outer Worlds getting confused with The Outer Wilds to Keanu Reeves appearing in Cyberpunk 2077 and even some Halo Infinite tease, we have all the news as it happened with our thoughts. And there's even some talk of Next-Gen...
And our very own announcement! Kyle and Simone are going away for a much needed break. But do not despair! Lee along with Producer Paul will be live streaming the NuNews on Mixer, taking your questions and thoughts live! With us going away, and not having any game stories for #GameFace! we need your help. We are looking to you guys for game stories, and theres even a competition. Want to know more? Head on over to our Patreon to find out how you can enter!

Xbox games coming to Steam, GamePass coming to PC, cats and dogs living together! What is this? Only the best universe of course.
Thats not even all we have for you! Watchdogs 3 leaks, Baldur's Gate 3 teased, oh my! Looks like the news is ramping up as E3 comes ever closer. And speaking of E3 , we also have a ton of news about that for you.
In a world first, Kyle does the new games with a positive spin. Take that everyone who was playing the Pixel Art Drinking Game!

What a packed #GameFace! we have for you guys.
Lee gives us some golf tips from his time spent with Golf 2019 PGA Awesome Tiger Woods Edition, beats his kids at Halo 2 and surprise, surprise, plays more Division 2... Shocked Pikachu gif. Kyle jumps into Forza Horizon 3, continues with Mass Effect: Andromeda, and has a very rough time with Sea of Thieves. Simone has a small update on Stardew Valley. And no, she still does not have the purple pants! These things are mythical at this stage...
We are now live streaming our podcast recordings, so if you want to come watch us live, be sure to follow our Mixer page. We typically record on Tuesdays at 19:00 NZST.

After what seems like a super long week, we're suffering from some serious low energy vibes... But that won't stop us giving you all the #NuNews you know and love.
Lee confuses himself with the Game Play Chart, first wanting to go forwards, then backwards, then jump around, jump around, jump up and get down! The Division 2 is not going to lower its difficulty, we just have to get gud. Ubisoft leaked their plans for Ubisoft Pass Premium, although uPass would have been a much cooler name. XCloud is getting a whole lot of info before E3 and we have at least three stories about Gears of War.
We try to do the new games, it becomes a lesson in cricket - the sport, not the animal. We get scared in Layers of Fear 2 and then super excited about Outer Wilds. Did you know that if you watched something on Mixer at some point in the past, you probably own Outer Wilds? We didn't either! But its Game Pass on release day, so who cares! Go play it. Right meow!
And we even brought back the beer segment for you guys.
We hope to be educational as well as funny, and getting beer right is a lot easier than getting news right.

Microsoft and Sony working together at long last! It's less exciting than you think. Even though the PlayStation division had to be calmed. And now Nintendo is jumping on the band wagon too.
We have a leak about Xbox's E3 keynote, Activision hands over the reigns to Call of Duty, Game Pass is losing 18 games and The Division 2's eight man raid has finally been beaten on consoles. And on top of all of this, Microsoft has shown us Minecraft Earth and we're totally not worthy.
New games are coming fast and furious this week, with Team Sonic Racing leading the charge, but we're more excited about Dauntless. On the other side of the scale, we're less than excited for Back to 1995. But hey, we're not exactly game critics.
We live stream every episode now on The Xboxcast's Mixer page. We're live on Tuesdays, 7PM New Zealand time. Join us and be a part of the next episode.

April ended. A while ago. And with the end of April comes the end of the April Achievement Challenge.
Thank you to everyone who took part. We are super impressed with everyone!
Who won? Who came second? Who is writing these blurbs? You'll just have to listen to find out.
And amid all the hub-hub, we even some fun stories about Sea of Thieves, Overwatch, Red Dead Redemption and even Simone's famous Stardew Valley. Throw in our Patreon shoutouts, and you're in for a fun time!

This episode fills us with Rage! Rage 2 that is. Which is now out to some very interesting reviews...
Gears 5 has leaked - well just the box art and the release date, and we can't say we're impressed. More devs are joining The Initiative. Monster Hunter World gets all frosty. More games are becoming Epic Store exclusives, and we're not cut up about it at all. And it looks like Anthem burned EA in more ways we could imagine.
This episode was live streamed on Mixer by the request of our fans. Want to join in next time? Check out The Xboxcast's Mixer page. We're live on Tuesdays, 7PM New Zealand time.
So what are you waiting for? Jump on in. Oh and join our #Discord server!

Two weeks worth of #NuNews? Lets do this!
Anthem might be less annoying now, according to Lee. Mixer is giving away free Sea of Thieves Loot. Microsoft is worth one trillion dollars . And XCloud reached the take home milestone causing the abundance of cake. All this exciting news, and yet, we somehow spend time trying to describe some third party Xbox controller concept. No one ever said we were logical, after all.
And when it comes to Games with Gold and the new games coming out, well, to say we are underwhelmed would be right on the money. But Final Fantasy XII (thats eleven for the normal folk) did come out which is awesome!
So what are you waiting for? Jump on in. Oh and join our #Discord server!

With the April Achievement Challenge coming to a close, the race is heating up. This causes lee to jump into every single game he owns and even buy a few bad ones... And because of this, this podcast becomes a monster - running for over 2 hours for the live stream. hopefully Producer Paul has managed to cut it down to a more resonable length...
From Monster Hunter: World to Star Wars Battlefront II, this episode is jam packed with good games, bad games, ok games and game games.
We are now live streaming our podcast recordings, so if you want to come watch us live, be sure to follow our YouTube page. We typically record on Tuesdays at 19:00 NZST.

Get Over Here!
Thats right - Mortal Komat 11 is ready to satisfy all your fighting needs.
All the news is being horded for E3, so don't blame us for a super efficient episode...
The Game Play chart has finally bored Lee. Its finally happened. There is not much rejoicing to be done. Final Fantasy X and X-2 are not Xbox One X Enhanced but they are? Its all very confusing. We go through the best Game Pass games, Ubisoft donates money to Notre Dame and Stardew Valley is getting an update!
