Fun & Informative!

Ryan and Sean have great chemistry and bounce off of each other very well. If you’re looking for a place to get all the latest Xbox information and maybe have a lot fun too, The Xbox Drive podcast is for you! And for a little extra bonus, head over to the YouTube page to watch the recording for more fun! Watching Sean drive and podcast is impressive and entertaining and watching Ryan try not to roll his eyes at Sean’s dad jokes and funny faces is just as entertaining! Keep up the great work, guys, and we’ll keep coming back!

Xbox Is Crushing It Right Now: Hardware Revenue Jumps By 232%, Total Gaming Revenue Up 50%

Apex Legends Adds a New Permanent 3v3 Arena Mode - coming May 4. The upcoming season of Apex Legends, Legacy, is set to add a new, permanent 3v3 game mode called Arenas. Arenas is not a battle royale, but is instead a multi-round 3v3 mode with similarities to games like Valorant and Counter-Strike. Players fight on maps much smaller than those used for the battle royale, and have just one life per round to out-play the other team. Conclusive games can be over in three rounds, but a match can go as far as nine rounds and into sudden death if teams are unable to out-smart their opponents.

Kyrbiville, 02/04/2021

Great informative show with a bit of fun

I’ve been listening to the show for a year now, and for me it’s one of the few shows that just focuses on positivity. The amount of games that Ryan runs though gives you a lot of insights. When I see Sean driving I’m always timing him until his inevitable McDonalds stop.This with the YouTube channel/ twitch/ their charity work and the Halo Saturday’s keeps us the listeners/player’s engaged. And I’m out baawwwaahaggagagagaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
