Aren't video games awesome? We've certainly been spoiled this week, with a whole heap of awesome titles available to play, including another new studio with their debut title reaping all the rewards. This week, we're joined by Kahlief Adams from Spawn On Me, and get to talk the industry, content creation and lovely video games in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 260!

There's lots to talk about this week, from the surprise of Oblivion from Bethesda and Virtuos, and the amazing reception of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which has wowed critics and players all over the world, becoming the highest rated game in 2025 and a shoe in for Game of the Year.
We also chat about Marathon and Bungie's future ambitions, my poor health (reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated!) and dive into some other titles we've been playing, from Fatal Fury: City of Wolves, La Quimera and Bionic Bay.
Beyond that, we dive into the news, and of particular note is the Xbox Community banding together to throw their own watch party for the Xbox Games Showcase in LA this year. We also tackle all the community questions from our incredible Patreon community. We also get a new look at Nick's new gaming/podcasting space! All of this and more in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 260!
