Xbox had a rough couple of weeks, and honestly, "rough" might be underselling it. On this week's episode, Scott and Keith, break down the fallout from Microsoft's latest round of cuts, a gut-punch that cost an enormous number of people their jobs, sent four studios packing from the Xbox family, and left id Software a shell of what it used to be.
We get into what actually happened, why it happened now, and what it says about where Xbox is headed as a platform. Simply put, this isn't just bad news for the people affected, though that's the part that matters most. It's a signal. And we're not convinced it's one Microsoft can walk back from easily.

Keith and Scott attended Summer Game Fest 2026, and got to check out some of amazing upcoming titles, and play a number of them.

This one is a bit late due being in LA and some of the stuff we discussed was still under NDA/embargo at the time. So, enjoy our Summer Game Fest 2026 recap.

Recently, we had the opportunity to speak with Milestone, the studio behind several acclaimed racing titles, about its upcoming game Screamer. Originally a PC-only arcade racer, Screamer is being completely reimagined for modern platforms. This new version blends anime-inspired visuals, unique mechanics borrowed from fighting games, and an innovative dual-stick control system that lets you drift through corners with precision.
In this episode, we discuss why Milestone chose to bring Screamer back now, how anime influences the game’s design, and what fans can expect from this bold revival of an arcade classic.

In Episode 201 of the Spectator Mode Podcast, the crew dives into another packed week of gaming talk. Things kick off with a discussion about what everyone’s been playing and watching before shifting into deeper topics. The team debates whether Cronos: The New Dawn has what it takes to succeed, why handheld PCs still weigh more than the Switch 2, and if PC gaming should adopt baseline hardware requirements instead of the usual minimum/recommended spec lists.
The conversation heats up when news breaks that EVO has been sold to Saudi interests, raising questions about the future of the fighting game community. From there, the hosts share glowing impressions of the Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls beta and a more lukewarm response to Riot Games’ 2XKO.
Wrapping things up, the panel reacts to the September 2025 Nintendo Direct, breaking down the biggest reveals and what it means heading into the holiday season.

In the latest episode of the Spectator Mode Podcast, the crew kicked things off by discussing the games they’ve been playing and the shows they’ve been watching. The crew then dove into their initial impressions of the highly anticipated Capcom Fighting Collection 2, exploring its gameplay mechanics and features, moving on to a lively debate about Forza Horizon 5 heading to the PS5 and how suddenly it's a great game.

On Spectator Mode Podcast episode 184, the crew kicks things off by diving into the games they’ve been playing and the shows and movies they've been watching. One of the big highlights is the debut trailer for Tron: Ares, which has the team buzzing with mixed excitement and frustration about Disney's latest sci-fi venture. From there, the conversation shifts gears to more serious territory, touching on the impact of tariffs and how they've trickled down into consumer tech and gaming—sometimes in unexpected ways. The team also discusses how Switch 2 pre-orders are being delayed in Canada, sparking a broader debate on hardware availability and Nintendo’s next-gen rollout strategy.
The Nintendo talk doesn’t stop there as the hosts weigh in on the company’s decision to introduce variable game pricing for the Switch 2, and Nintendo's defense of that choice. They also question why Nintendo Tour isn’t offered as a freebie or bundled in, especially as competition in mobile and handheld gaming heats up. There’s also a good laugh (and a little heat) over people defending the Steam Deck over the upcoming Switch 2. For those feeling priced out of the new console, Nintendo’s not-so-subtle answer is: just buy a Switch 1! The episode wraps by explaining Nintendo’s game key cards and a surprising twist in comic book news—the All-New Venom host has been revealed, and it’s none other than Mary Jane. #videogames #allnewvenom #nintendoswitch2 #tronares #gamingpodcast #tariffs

Welcome to a very impromptu episode of the Spectator Mode Podcast. To be honest, we totally didn't expect us all to be available to watch the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, let alone have so many options about it, but nonetheless, here we are. And, well, we definitely have some stuff to say. Some were positive, some negative, but it's all in fun. Also, no damned F-Zero... C'mon, Nintendo #nintendoswitch2 #gamingpodcast #duskbloods

On Spectator Mode Podcast Episode 181, we dive into the latest gaming buzz, starting with our impressions of the Mechabreak demo and what it brings to the mech genre. We then shred into the exciting reveal of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 remake before discussing our thoughts on Monster Hunter Wilds. The hardware talk heats up with news of an Xbox handheld (again), and we celebrate Chrono Trigger’s 30th anniversary by reflecting on its RPG legacy. Finally, we explore whether PC gaming in the living room has hit its stride.
For our roundtable, we debate if playing Death Stranding 1 is necessary before diving into the sequel and question whether Xbox’s acquisition of Activision was worth it. With hot takes, nostalgia, and industry insights, this episode is packed with gaming goodness you won’t want to miss!

On this much shorter than normal episode of the Spectator Mode Podcast, Keith takes a moment to reflect on the recent PlayStation Network outage that lasted 24 hours and how it not only affected PlayStation owners but also PC gamers, thanks to PlayStation's efforts to force PSN onto the audience. Does outages like this give PC gamers confidence that Sony knows what it's doing?

Welcome back to the Spectator Mode Podcast and you’re listening or watching episode 169!
In this episode we cover the recent announcement of Spider-Man 2 heading to the PC, the Analogue 3D, the reveal of Team Bloober’s Cronos: The New Dawn, and the reveal of the Alien: Isolation’s follow-up to keep things positive. Of course, we have to bring the chaos and we also discuss the downfall of Twitter / X and seeing more people (including our very own Keith) making the trek to Bluesky, how much time consoles have left in the spotlight, and the always interesting physical vs digital conversation.
Of course, this isn't without our special brand of chaos and humor, so grab a set. And while this is an adult show, we have removed the curses, so everyone can listen to the show, wherever you want.

This week on The Spectator Mode Podcast, Keith, Scott, and Matt discuss their top 5 favorite indie games shown during the Triple-i Initiative Showcase. Jeff Grubb reports that EA has killed off the Dead Space 2 remake, but EA says otherwise. Xbox has announced a new team devoted to game preservation. However, we aren't 100% confident about this, and we explain why. Finally, we end the show with why games are so expensive and why this isn't good for the gaming industry. #indiegames #xbox #deadspace2 #gamingpodcast

In this episode we discuss a lot of taking losses; from Grand Theft Auto: Definitive Edition, Activision is in even more hot water, and why we aren't fans of the Netflix version of Cowboy Bebop.

With all the discourse following the recent articles posted by Kotaku and PC Gamer, you didn't expect us to sit on the sidelines, did you? In this impromptu podcast, Keith and Karl discuss the ins and outs of emulation, the legal aspect of them, and why advocating piracy is not only wrong, it's disruptive. Don't pirate and don't rip money from people who worked long hours to give you a game you enjoy.

Your favorite gaming podcast is back. We are your favorite, right? Last week, PlayStation revealed all its cards and showed the world why everyone wants to play its games. The 40+ minutes event was a non-stop barrage of anticipated games, as well as a few games that we didn't even about, such as Spider-Man 2 and Wolverine. Of course, you know we had to break down the coverage, game by game, and rate the show. So sit back, this is a longer than normal podcast, and get geeky with your favorite band of geeks.

In this special episode of Spectator Mode, Josh and Karl hijack the show to air out their dirty laundry over World of Warcraft. All of it stemmed from the 9.1.5. Patch Notes and Blizzard, essentially, "pulling the ripcord" in an attempt to make players happy, but should you really be happy after having to go through this same experience for multiple expansions? We answer that and a lot more in this 90-minute episode!

The rumors regarding Dead Space and a remake of sorts coming from the EA camp just keep on coming. They've gotten so loud that even several gaming industry insiders have backed up what is being said - that EA is indeed working on a Dead Space remake. That said, being a huge fan of Dead Space 1 and 2, and knowing how EA treated the Visceral Games team prior to all this, I'm not sure this is going to pan out. #deadspace #electronicarts #videogames #gaming podcast.

While Xbox, Square Enix, and People Can Fly have announced that Outriders, the upcoming looter shooter will be available to play via Xbox Game Pass day one - but only for the Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series. This has obviously frustrated a number of PC gamers, as Xbox Game Pass for PC and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate also provide acess to a vast number of PC games. So why is this happening? Why is Outriders only heading to Xbox Game Pass for consoles and not the PC? We have a good idea why and we break it down in this episode. #outriders #peoplecanfly #xboxgamepass

Welcome back to the first Spectator Mode Podcast of 2021, with technical issues to boot. We're back and we're jumping right into it by discussing our experiences with the Monster Hunter Rise demo for the Switch, Capcom's new video policy and its pain points, Anticipated 2021 games that we didn't talk about before, and our 2021 plans. It's good to be back! By the way, Keith's mic volume is low and we tried to fix it but no dice. New mic and all, but we'll have it resolved in the next show. Sorry about that.

This past week has been a busy one, hasn't it? From Microsoft purchasing Zenimax, the parent company of Bethesda, scooping up all their IPs, as well as current and upcoming titles. Not to mention the leak of the Xbox Series X/S 1TB storage cart that has people frustrated. Sony confirms that Spider-Man: Remastered will not be a free upgrade and the uphill battle from scalpers using bots to snatch up as many next-gen Xbox, PlayStation, and Nvidia RTX 3000 series cards.
We talk about all that in this episode of the Spectator Mode Podcast.

While at PAX East 2020, in the Indie Megabooth no less, I encountered a fantasy sword fighting game that takes place solely in VR. That game being Until You Fall, which features fantastic graphics, interesting gameplay and I simply couldn't pass it by. Thankfully, the fine folks who were showing off the game. Jill Sciulli and Dave Bennett Schell, were more than happy to let me try the game for myself. While doing so, I found myself being engaged with how well put together the game is. Not to mention that this is still in development and is available as an early access title. Afterward, Dave took some time to speak to me regarding Until You Fall and Schell Games' PAX East 2020 experience, the future of VR headsets and more.Check out more of our PAX East 2020 coverage ➜ https://www.theouterhaven.net/news/gaming/pax-east-2020-coverage/Read our gaming content ➜ https://www.theouterhaven.net#paxeast #vr #virtualreality #untilyofufall #videogames
During PAX East 2020, we stopped by the Foregone booth to get a look at this early access action platformer. Taking elements from popular games such as Dark Souls and Dead Cells, Foregone features enjoyable combat, an interesting upgrade system and a skill tree that progresses as you play the game. To get a better understanding, Mike Hammond from Blue Bubble was on hand to give us a rundown of the game.You can play Foregone today by heading over to the Epic Games Store (https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/foregone/home) . Keep in mind that the title is early access and is priced at $24.99.#paxeast #foregone #epicgamestore

Bethesda losing its mind by offering a subscription service to the busted game known as Fallout 76. Multiple AAA games, including The Last of Us Part 2 being delayed.

Deigo falls in love with Disco Elysium, and we weight in on the Xbox One Elite Controller series 2. We can't forget about super positive previews of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.

This week we touch on the delay of DOOM Eternal and if releasing among some of the biggest games of 2020 is going to hurt sales of the game. We got more news regarding PlayStation 5, and we're really excited. Game file sizes are getting bigger but people just don't understand why. Censorship has been brought back to the forefront of gaming as Blizzard screws up majorly regarding how they handled the Hearthstone mess. We have also forgotten a thing or two, so you'll have to listen to find out what it is.That and more on this episode of Spectator Mode Podcast.Subscribe to us on:Audioboom (https://audioboom.com/channel/spectatormode) | Overcast (https://overcast.fm/itunes1454432466/spectator-mode-podcast) | Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/3hMI4hk4B8tQIsbI6QD6YN) | Stitcher (https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-outerhaven-productions/spectator-mode-podcast?refid=stpr) | iTunes (https://apple.co/2GY6ddQ) | Google Play (https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/I634ijd7ebd4d3e2yevouqkmbmi) Follow the Spectator Mode Podcast crew on Twitter:Spectator Mode Podcast- https://twitter.com/spectator_mode (https://twitter.com/spectator_mode)Keith Mitchell – https://twitter.com/Shadowhaxor (https://twitter.com/Shadowhaxor)Karl Smart – https://twitter.com/Themasething (https://twitter.com/Themasething)Diego Perez – https://twitter.com/CircleSquareDPRob Dolen - https://twitter.com/actuallybobdole#videogames #blizzard #china #hongkong #doometernal #playstation5 #gamefilesizes #callofdutymodernwarfare #reddeadredemption2 #gamingpodcast
This week we're taking a look at a recent news article that talks Ninja's arrival on Mixer and the impact he's had. Red Dead Redemption 2 was finally announced as a PC title and we're all excited to either play it again or for the first time. While the WGA has decided that video game stories aren't really important to them for some reason. PlayStation's renewed interest in PlayStation Now has us wondering what else is in store, while Diego gives us the rundown on the state of Ghost Recon: Breakpoint. It's not very good if you're wondering. Closing it out, we discuss Destiny 2: Shadowkeep and how it's captivated us and why we can't put the game down. This and much more on this week's episode.

This week we're talking about the Oculus Connect 6 conference (https://www.theouterhaven.net/?s=oculus) , the recent updates for the Oculus Quest (https://www.theouterhaven.net/2019/09/the-oculus-quest-is-getting-hand-tracking-support/) and ponder if the Rift S is now dead in the water. We can't forget about PlayStation's recent State of Play as we discuss our favorite announcements, which means plenty of The Last of Us 2 (https://www.theouterhaven.net/2019/09/ellie-and-joel-return-when-the-last-of-us-part-ii-releases-february-2020/) talk. Then there's Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, both the good and bad. There's even a mini-review of Focus Home Interactive's and Deck13's The Surge 2.All that and more in this episode of the Spectator Mode Podcast! We've had some technical issues with this episode, which is why it took a bit longer to release it. We're sorry about that.

This week's episode is a little more laid back than usual considering it's only Diego and Rob on the panel this time. That doesn't mean there's any less content though! Rob talks a bit about Minecraft and how the game seems to be becoming popular again, and then both Rob and Diego share some more thoughts about the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Beta, specifically the new 32 vs 32 Ground War Mode. Not only that, but Diego takes some time to talk about Untitled Goose Game, Borderlands 3, and The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III, which got a demo on the PlayStation Store last week.Later in the show, the two discuss the upcoming State of Play and what they'd like to see from it. Also, the August NPD report came in, and the guys take a look at what games sold well and others that didn't do too hot. Finally, a court ruling in France might mean big changes for the way we buy digital games, and Diego and Rob ponder as to what this could mean for Steam, other platforms, and the industry as a whole.All that and more in this episode of the Spectator Mode Podcast!Subscribe to us on:Audioboom (https://audioboom.com/channel/spectatormode) | Overcast (https://overcast.fm/itunes1454432466/spectator-mode-podcast) | Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/3hMI4hk4B8tQIsbI6QD6YN) | Stitcher (https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-outerhaven-productions/spectator-mode-podcast?refid=stpr) | iTunes (https://apple.co/2GY6ddQ) | Google Play (https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/I634ijd7ebd4d3e2yevouqkmbmi) | YouTube (https://bit.ly/2TvlSXK)Follow the Spectator Mode Podcast crew on Twitter:Spectator Mode Podcast- https://twitter.com/spectator_mode (https://twitter.com/spectator_mode)Keith Mitchell – https://twitter.com/Shadowhaxor (https://twitter.com/Shadowhaxor)Karl Smart – https://twitter.com/Themasething (https://twitter.com/Themasething)Diego Perez – https://twitter.com/CircleSquareDPRob Dolen - https://twitter.com/actuallybobdole#callofdutymodernwarfare #goosegame #borderlands3 #legendofheroescoldsteel3 #NPD #stateofplay #xbox #minecraft
Welcome to episode 31 of the Spectator Mode Podcast, brought you to by The Outerhaven. On this weeks' episode we're breaking down the games we've played this week, as well as taking a look at Gear's 5 multiplayer and how much of a success the game has been for Xbox Game Pass. We can't forget about Borderlands 3 and our thoughts about the game and the performance. That's not all as Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is fresh on our mind, as is Daemon X Machina, the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Beta and much more.That and much more on episode 31 of Spectator Mode Podcast!Thanks for listening.

The gang is all here and so is episode 29 of the Spectator Mode Podcast! Join Keith, Karl, Diego, and Rob as they take you all on yet another journey into the world of videogame news.First up is everyone's favorite "What have we've been playing this week", and boy does Diego have a story to tell. Something about being banned on PlayStation Network. Remedy's Control has been in our minds, in our hands and we can't wait to talk about this original IP. It's a breath of fresh air among the gaming scene. We can't forget about Capcom's announcement of Project REsistance, but is it really another Outbreak wannabe? Or is it something entirely? Yakuza 7's new turn-based combat, Gears of War 5 and Telltale Games being revived are also front and center. Lastly, we close it out with 2K Game's NBA2K20. Is it a casino game with basketball bits in it or what? We're confused.That and more in this episode of Spectator Mode Podcast.Thanks for listening.

Welcome back to yet another funfilled, yet off the wall episode of the Spectator Mode Podcast. Hope you got that popcorn ready!Just like clockwork, we start off with games we've played this past week, which is always interesting. Then we moved on to Gamescom 2019 and game announcements we were looking forward to and disappoints on games that didn't surface. That includes Death Stranding, Need for Speed Heat and the lack of a new Resident Evil game. We eventually segway into why we felt Gamescom 2019 was lacking and why companies aren't really excited to jump into new IPs. Moving on to more depressing news, we touch on the layoffs that affected the GameInformer magazine and the decline of Gamestop. We also weigh in on if Battlefield V and is its days numbered now that Call of Duty Modern Warfare (2019) is almost here.That and more in this episode of Spectator Mode Podcast.Thanks for listening.

This week there's just two of us holding down the show, but it's all good as you have two our the gamiest members. That said, we're all about not only the most recent games we've been playing but also the games we're looking forward to this Fall 2019. We also took some time to talk about the update to No Man's Sky and Remnant: From the Ashes (It's so damned good!). Changing gears, we reflect on the number of games that are releasing fairly soon that have received little to no marketing. We're fearful of them and their chances of selling. Of course, where's there's some good talk, there's also some bad stuff that follows. We're referring to the departure of Bioware's Anthem lead producer, the swatting of the recent swapping of Kyle ‘Bugha’ Giersdorf. As well as the bomb threat of Bandai Namco US and the death threats toward Square Enix. It's been bizarre as of late.You know what to do. Sit back or don't, but be sure to enjoy the week's show.Thanks for listening.

Folks, we have a bit of a serious show this week. As you know, video games are yet again under attack thanks to the government of the US of A nothing being able to actually anything for gun control. So once again, they just blame video games because that's the answer. Keith gets a bit emotional over this mess, he's quite upset over this.But it's not all serious, as we talk about what games we've played this past week. Resident Evil is on our minds and we discuss which new entry in the series we'll see first. Moving on to Gamescom, which is right around the corner and we wanna see some new games. But what we'll see and what are we excited for? Lastly, we move on to the ESA dropping the ball again, as it's discovered that they leaked not just E3 2019 press and journalist info.

Hello faithful fans, we're back after a brief hiatus and boy if we don't have a bunch to talk about. First up is super popular Fortnite streamer, "Ninja", making the jump to Mixer (https://www.theouterhaven.net/2019/08/ninja-makes-the-jump-from-twitch-to-mixer/) . We still can't believe that happened. Riot Game's Tom Cannon officially has announced that the company is working on a fighting game (https://www.theouterhaven.net/2019/08/tom-cannon-confirms-riot-games-is-working-on-a-fighting-game/) . Could this be a revival of Rising Thunder or something else? Then we close it out with the horrible news that the ESA (https://www.theouterhaven.net/2019/08/the-esas-massive-info-leak-screw-up-is-damaging-beyond-belief/) , the company the organizations the largest gaming convention in North America, E3, has a problem. They've leaked personal information for over 2000 content creators, gaming journalists and more.

Recorded on July 20th, 2019Welcome to another episode of the Spectator Podcast, the Outerhaven's weekly podcast where we talk the latest news, topics and everything else that's video games.It's been quiet since in the video game news department ever since E3 2019 ended. So we figured we'd enjoy some of this downtime and talk about our favorite game of 2019. That's right, we put Josh, Karl and Diego in the hot seat and listen as they tell us what they favorite game of 2019. Everyone's interested in both the new Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite, so we break that down. We also touch on the collapse of Blizzard and then depart of co-founder Frank Pearce, who had been with Blizzard for 28 years. Then we end it off with listening to Karl talk about all and those lovely toys that were on display during the 2019 San Diego Comic-con.That and more on this episode of Spectator Mode Podcast.Thanks for listening.

For some reason, EA's EVP Matt Bilbey has a hard time understanding why the gaming community perceives them as the bad guy. Meanwhile, G2A employees have been pitching an article to various gaming websites and asking them to not say it was from G2A is a smart thing to do. Thankfully, there's some good on today's show as Keith finds out about Assassin's Creed Odyssey and is now a fan.Thanks for listening.

With Epic Games being attached to several high profile crowdfunded games (Phoenix Point, Outer Wilds, Shenmue 3), what does this mean for future crowdfunded titles? Will people shy away from them, will developers highlight what game store the keys will be from? Will Epic Games continue to interfere with games that were already backed?That's what today's episode begs to ask.Thanks for listening.

Google's Phil Harrison recently addressed two major concerns surrounding Google's game streaming service, Stadia. He believes that ISPs will somehow find it in their hearts to increase their data caps and the quality of their offerings. While telling potential customers of Stadia that they shouldn't expect any discounts and to expect to pay full pricing for games.I dunno about this, Phil.Thanks for listening.

Welcome to another episode of the Spectator Podcast, the Outerhaven's weekly podcast where we talk the latest news, topics and everything else that's video games.Recently, EA has been making the rounds and trying to tell people that loot boxes aren't really a bad thing. Nah, instead they're perfectly fine and are surprise mechanics that gamers everywhere love. Well, we don't believe the hype and we're not too thrilled about EA's rather crappy tactics. Speaking of crappy tactics, we jump into what would happen if gaming would be taking over by streaming. We don't mean Twitch streaming, but all your games being played via the all-mighty cloud. We're not completely convinced we're ready for that. Oh, and Keith recaps how much money he's spent via Kickstarter and gets a bit sadder on the inside.Lastly, this show is a bit PG-13, as there are a few swears it in. We're all grown adults here, nothing you haven't heard before.That and more in Spectator Mode Episode 18.Thanks for listening.

During E3 2019, Deep Silver and Epic Games announced that Shenmue 3 was no longer coming to Steam. Which really set a really bad tone and upset countless PC gamers who had requested a Steam key prior to this announcement. As a fellow PC gamer and a backer of the game, I felt betrayed and frustrated. These are my (Keith Mitchell's) thoughts surrounding the incident.#VideoGames #Gaming #News #Nintendo #PS4 #Switch #PC #XboxOne Sony #Microsoft #Nintendo #xboxone #playstation #nintendoswitch #pcgaming #videogamepodcast #spectatormodepodcast #specmodepodcast #gamingpodcast #shenmue3 #epicgamesstore #egs #deepsilver #e32019 #pcgaming #steam #valve

We're rating which conferences were our favorite, as well as the stinkers. Then we follow it up with that games excited us the most, closing out with our biggest surprises.There's a lot of good debates there, some silly banter and of course, everything is 100% honest. That's not all, as Rob, our latest editor from The Outerhaven, joins us for our E3 2019 antics. That's right, this episode has a full house. And yes, there is quite a bit of swearing this time around.

He breaks down his experience and drops some nuggets of VR advise and answers all our questions regarding the Oculus Rift.

Outside of talking about what we've been playing this week, we got some spicy stuff to talk about. We move on to retro-gaming and chat about what sort of bundles or remasters we'd like to see.Switching gears after that to wondering why everyone is getting so excited about World of Warcraft Classic, not to mention Keith going into rage mode about the scalpers buying up the World of Warcraft 15th Anniversary Collector’s Editions and putting them on eBay. We then turn out attention to the big news that Microsoft and Sony are working together with cloud stuff, the lack of matchmaking in The Division 2's first raid and a mini-review of Rage 2.Thanks for listening.

Pokemon Sword and Shield (https://www.theouterhaven.net/2019/02/pokemon-sword-and-shield-revealed-first-look-at-gen-8/) has been announced and it's going to be the first Pokemon game ever for two of the hosts. Why are they excited about this game? Blizzard tries to keep their card game, Hearthstone, afloat by changing up things with "The Year of the Dragon (https://www.theouterhaven.net/2019/02/hearthstone-announces-the-year-of-the-dragon/) ". Our resident Hearthstone expert breaks it all down. We discuss our Dead or Alive 6 review (https://www.theouterhaven.net/2019/03/dead-or-alive-6-review-fighter-to-the-end/) , as well as touch base on the DLC issue plaguing the launch. Speaking of DLC, we're old. So we talked about the state of DLC, microtransactions and try to make sense of it all. All of us were big World of Warcraft players that have long since retired. However, with a new challenger, Pantheon (https://www.theouterhaven.net/2018/03/pantheon-wow-killer/) , being worked on. Could this lore us back to the MMO scene? Thanks for listening.

With recent ongoings with Activision Blizzard, we look at the status of the company. Both recent layoffs and what’s possibly in store. Then we switch gears and talk about everyone’s favorite rumor (that’s not a rumor?) of Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass heading to the Switch and other platforms. Finally, we close it out with the talk of two Xbox consoles possibly being revealed at E3 2019. Be sure to let us know what you think about the first episode of Spectator Mode. We’re serious about making this an enjoyable, yet informative show, so we’re going to lean on you all for feedback.
