EA Play in GamePass is all the rage this week...
And we have a list!
All the news was provided by TrueAchievements thanks to Lee's laziness... We blame it on Lee going on holiday. Star Wars Episode 1 Racer is back and better than ever! CyberPunk 2077 has been delayed again. And Gears 5 is getting DLC for the Series X launch!
Move maps around in Cato, live your kung-fu fantasies in Cobra Kai and run through a cyberpunk inspired city in Ghostrunner. Also, freak yourself out in Five Nights at Freddy's. Oh, and Watch Dogs: Legion is here! Who's jumping in? We also have a bunch of other scary games for you to try, but they are too scary to even mention!

We're so close to the end, we can taste it!
It's official - Lee has given up on Resident Evil and continues to drive in circles. This time in Forza 6 and Forza 7, just add some variety, and keep things fresh. As for Kyle... Well, he has taken #terrorTober way to seriously. Finishing Blair Witch, horde mode in State of Decay 2, completing AfterParty and then finishing the story of Halo: Reach with Simone.

There is a pile of something coming out...
It looks like bad news for Star Wars: Squadrons as it drops by twenty places in our weekly game play charts. Colour us surprised. But not really.
Which game are you looking to playing on the Series X when it arrives? We have a list of Series X optimised games, 31 games so far! Time to get seriously hyped!
Doom: Eternal gets its first DLC in The Ancient Gods - Part One, which looks amazing. Drive monster trucks, set up tower defences, and play Madden's little brother in Axis Football 2020. One game that piqued our interest is Macrotis: A Mother's Journey - it looks absolutely stunning.

You can now play Skyrim on a toaster. Because playing Skyrim on your fridge is so 2019...
Forza 7 blazes onto the charts thanks to coming to GamePass. And of course, Lee gets sucked into driving around in circles again. Microsoft shows off the super impressive auto HDR coming to old gen games on the Series X. Oh, and we have a growing list of games that run at 120 FPS on the new beast.
This week, you can play ice hockey, pretend to be a G.I. Joe and fly bi and triplanes! But you'll really want to go dungeon crawling in Torchlight III. Oh, and we get to relize our dreams of cooking amazing food in Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?!

We're almost halfway through #terrorTober and its now time to figure out our lives.
Lee actually starts Resident Evil VII and has to Google how to kill zombies. Spoiler alert: you shoot them in the head. This is why you shouldn't play games with your eyes closed. We even have an update from Producer Paul! He is playing DOOM (2016). As if that's not enough, he is playing on Nightmare difficulty while one hundred precenting every level! Good on you Paul! All while Kyle decides to finish Blair Witch...

Let's all clap together! Clapping for our Patreons!
EA Play is coming to GamePass for the Series X launch and we finally get to play The Sims! We are beyond excited for this. GamePass continues to be the best thing to happen to gaming. More news is arriving about the benefits of Xbox and cross-gen saves, including Smart Delivery and free Series X upgrades. And hold the phone - Apple TV+ is coming to Xbox to trade blows with Netflix and Disney+. It's happening!
If you want to go in-depth behind the Series X and Series S design, Lee found a great Medium article for you to read.
New games have you racing around in Ride 4, kicking balls in Fifa 21, racing some more in Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 and fighting aliens in Ben 10. Did you know, Kyle knew nothing about Ben 10? Luckily Lee is here to rescue him.

It's that time of the year again!
Scary games abound, along with a special Discord only challenge!

Oh, and don't forget - scary games are a must during this scary month of October. Follow along and tell us what you've been playing using the #terrorTober hashtag on social media! Kyle is playing OxenFree and Lee decides to jump into Destiny. Of course!

We have some announcements!
Join us as we kick off #terrorTober in October. And for the first time ever, we're running two challenges at the same time!
For all our fans on Discord, we're doing our own version of GTASC. Two teams, a massive amount of achievements and one winner!
From the best horror games on Xbox to the biggest update to No Man's Sky - we have news for everyone. Series X gets put through its paces and leaves everyone impressed. The price of the Expansion Card gets revealed and Kyle explains why its actually priced really well. And even a throwback to some Destiny 2 news... Just like in the good old days.
For the new games, we have a pillow that you beat with a club of some sort in Birthday of Midnight... Fifa 21 comes out, but in classic EA fashion leaves us super confused with what version you can play, when, on what platform and for how long. Crash Bandicoot 4 jumps into reality for the nostalgia hit. And stick around for a sneaky peak behind the scenes of the Star Wars Squadrons Alpha. We have some thoughts on this game...
The Xboxcast streams our podcast recording over on Twitch every Tuesday at 7PM New Zealand Time. Feel free to join us then!

Time to shake some fists at Forza Horizon 4!
Can you believe they have censored some songs?
Kyle Golf's with some friends, while Lee tries to build a house with no walls in Ark: Survival Evolved. Then Lee decides to spend a few hours trying to walk up a hill in Tom Clancy's Breakpoint. At least Kyle stays sensible with his golfing friends.
