Xbox Empire #2 this week as we get Kevin on today to discuss the latest in the now CONFIRMED Xbox next gen plans. EA Play joining Xbox Game Pass. The Series X price of $499 & Kevin’s thoughts on all of this buzzing news.

This week across the Empire comes early as we had to schedule an urgent podcast recording to break down our impressions from the leak & subsequent announcement of the long rumored Xbox Series S console. Does Xbox’s $299 console do enough to warrant attention from gamers this fall? Listen to find out.

(Spoilers: Yes, yes it does)

This week across the Empire we welcome dear pal Chaufie over to discuss the great nostalgic trip that is Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 & 2 as well as the recent documentary Pretending I’m a Superman, but before we get there, Donnie goes on a long rant at why Xbox One will NOT HOLD BACK Halo Infinite on Xbox Series X & the recent news that Call of Duty will be joining the other games not to support cross-gen purchases.
