GTA 6: The Cars, the Boats, and Our Terrible Priorities
Episode #627: GTA 6 has us planning our first day in Vice City, and we’re already getting distracted. The streets, the cars, the water, the possibility of spending far too long on a boat. This week, we talk about what has us excited to explore Rockstar’s next open world and why its trailers make even the smallest details worth stopping to inspect. We also break down Fable’s latest gameplay footage and debate whether an underwhelming trailer should change how we feel about the game.Fable’s “Something in the Water” footage gives us plenty to discuss, but we don’t all take the same thing away from it. X1TheGamer questions what the presentation says about the decisions behind the game. MrMcspicey sees a marketing and editing problem that doesn’t necessarily tell us how the finished RPG will play. Jordtheman wants combat with more impact. There’s still interest in Albion, but different opinions about what this footage needed to deliver.Then it’s back to Grand Theft Auto VI, where a short trailer turns into a much longer conversation about Vice City’s street life, vehicle customization, boating, and the details we hope will make the world feel alive. We browse the edition extras discussed on the show, argue about a very particular revolver, and wonder how much exploring we’ll do before getting anywhere with the story. We also discuss reported preorder estimates and our expectations for launch, keeping those separate from hands-on impressions.We wrap up with MrMcspicey’s first look at a tiny Xbox controller, a thoughtful message from the community, and another friendly shot in the ongoing Skyrim and Crimson Desert debate. Join X1TheGamer, MrMcspicey, and Jordtheman for Xbox and gaming conversation, honest disagreements, and the occasional extended argument about a gun accessory.Who are the XoneBros?We are your exclusive Xbox Series X & Game Pass weekly podcast.

Skyrim, Crimson Desert, and the Joy of Getting Lost
Episode #626: What does Skyrim still get right about open worlds? For MrMcspicey, it’s stepping outside, spotting something in the distance, and forgetting the quest he meant to finish. For X1TheGamer and Jordtheman, Crimson Desert delivers that same freedom with even more ways to explore. This week, we pick up our friendly debate about two games we love and ask when a world full of possibilities starts feeling like a list of chores—and whether that comes down to the game or how we play it.Our Elder Scrolls VI discussion starts with a teaser reaction and the importance of music, atmosphere, and expectations after Skyrim. Then we get into map clutter, optional objectives, hidden discoveries, dialogue choices, and what Bethesda should preserve while moving its combat forward. Elden Ring and Red Dead Redemption 2 enter the conversation as we compare the worlds that make us want to wander rather than rush toward the next objective.Crimson Desert also gets a deeper discussion of its story, expansion, and ongoing support, including a spoiler-heavy look at the lore X1TheGamer has been piecing together. Elsewhere, we react to the Warhammer survivors-style game trailer discussed on the show, hear how a family turned their drawings and voices into a playable game, and catch up on GTA VI excitement and a memorable Take-Two interview.We close with a bigger question about gaming today: do better technology, easier access, and more choices make this the best era yet? Between revisiting old favorites, playing with our kids, and using AI to get comfortable returning to Heroes of the Storm, there are plenty of reasons to be excited. Join your positive gaming and Xbox community for thoughtful disagreements, questionable tangents, and another week of loving games.Spoiler note: Major Crimson Desert story discussion begins around 49:23 and continues through approximately 56:44, with an earlier story discussion beginning around 46:54.Who are the XoneBros?We are your exclusive Xbox Series X & Game Pass weekly podcast.

What Can Elder Scrolls 6 Learn From Crimson Desert?
Episode #625: Can Elder Scrolls 6 give us that Skyrim feeling again? Crimson Desert’s latest expansion has us talking about more than pirate ships and new places to explore. It raises a bigger question: what do we actually want from the next great open-world game? This week, we debate whether deeper systems and faster updates can replace the magic of a longtime favorite—or whether the best gaming memories belong as much to a moment in our lives as the games themselves.We start with Crimson Desert expansion impressions and trailer reactions, from customizable ships and naval battles to strongholds, businesses, and reasons to revisit camp. There’s plenty we’re excited about, a few interface frustrations, and one very strong objection to starting a pirate adventure with a fishing trip. We also discuss Pearl Abyss’s approach to ongoing support and why the phrase “single-player MMO” keeps coming up.That leads into our hopes for The Elder Scrolls VI, the rumors discussed on the show, and a friendly disagreement about whether Crimson Desert has actually surpassed Skyrim. MrMcspicey, X1TheGamer, and Jordtheman weigh personal attachment against modern game design, revisit their experiences with Starfield and Fallout, and talk about what makes a studio earn our confidence in its next release.We also look ahead to GTA VI and ask how Rockstar might balance Red Dead Redemption 2’s cinematic storytelling with GTA V’s ridiculous, unforgettable characters. Plus, our latest Lobby Legends session reminds us why Hexen’s interconnected levels are still worth exploring.

What Would Make You Upgrade to the Next Xbox?
Episode #624: What would make you upgrade to the next Xbox? This week on XoneBros, we debate whether better graphics and higher frame rates would be enough, especially with a rumored Project Helix price range raising some big questions. We’re still impressed by what our current consoles can deliver, so what would a new Xbox need to do differently to earn a place in the living room?X1TheGamer also brings his new ROG handheld into the studio, and seeing Gears running on that OLED screen gets our attention. We compare the feel, grips, and portability, then discuss what a rumored first-party Xbox handheld could offer beyond existing PC handhelds. A simpler setup, a console-like interface, and access to the games we already own are high on the wish list.The hardware conversation leads into upscaling, longer console lifespans, and whether we’re more interested in playing our games in new places than replacing the box under the TV. We also talk Final Fantasy Resonance, our interest in Valor Mortis, and an idea for an AI-run Dungeons & Dragons session that would finally let all three of us play without anyone knowing what happens next.Then we revisit Xbox’s classic dashboards, from the original 360 blades to NXE and Metro. Would we actually use them again, or do we just miss our avatars, old achievements, and the memories attached to them? Join MrMcspicey, X1TheGamer, and Jordtheman for another week with your positive gaming and Xbox community, plus a detour through custom soundtracks, iPods, and the unpredictable days of downloading music.Who are the XoneBros?We are your exclusive Xbox Series X & Game Pass weekly podcast.

Xbox Labs Has Us Imagining What Comes Next
Episode #623: Xbox Labs has us imagining what comes next for the games we love. This week on XoneBros, we discuss AI-assisted development, game preservation, and the possibility of a much wilder modding scene. From bringing older favorites to modern hardware to giving talented developers more room to experiment, there’s plenty to be excited about. But what happens to original ideas when recreating someone else’s work gets easier, too?We also react to the GTA VI trailer and immediately start questioning our gaming schedules. The animation, atmosphere, and unmistakable Rockstar style have our attention, but can we squeeze in another massive adventure before diving into Grand Theft Auto? Our backlogs may have a different answer.On the hardware side, a new handheld purchase kicks off a conversation about why portable gaming makes it easier to actually play. Couch time, lunch breaks, and even gym sessions all enter the discussion. Then we take a look at the compact Xbox controller, its retro-inspired shape, and whether those smaller sticks will deliver the feel we want.Finally, we’ve been playing Gears together, and Horde Siege is giving us plenty of reasons to return. We talk progression, different play styles, and the fun of figuring it out as a squad, alongside menus that make finding almost anything a challenge. Join MrMcspicey, X1TheGamer, and Jordtheman for another week of Xbox conversation, gaming enthusiasm, and the usual detours with your positive gaming and Xbox community.Who are the XoneBros?We are your exclusive Xbox Series X & Game Pass weekly podcast.

Is Gears E-Day The Best Gears Since The Trilogy?
Episode #622: Gears of War: E-Day is here, and the XoneBros are digging into what works, what feels weird, and why this might be the best Gears has felt since the original trilogy. X1TheGamer, MrMcspicey, and Jordtheman talk through their time with the campaign, four player co-op, Horde Siege, the return of the Chainsaw Lancer, and why the game already feels like a much needed Xbox win.The crew also gets honest about the parts that slow the experience down. The linear missions feel strong, but the open zone structure creates some awkward co-op moments, strange checkpointing, and squad tethering that gets in the way of the fun. There’s also a lot of talk about the game’s pacing, forced dialogue moments, character writing, and whether the new squad members measure up to classic Gears characters.Beyond the campaign, Horde Siege gets a strong reaction for its bigger team setup, objective based waves, boss fights, class progression, and that addictive Gears loop. The conversation also gets into the online noise around the game, why the crew thinks players should judge it for themselves, and how Gears E-Day compares to other co-op shooters like Space Marine.Plus, Jordtheman gets exposed for secretly playing ahead, the crew talks Warhammer, MMOs, Game Pass backlog problems, Guild Wars nostalgia, and why every real gamer does the “can I kill this NPC?” test. It’s classic XoneBros: Xbox talk, co-op chaos, strong opinions, and way too much betrayal.Who are the XoneBros?We are your exclusive Xbox Series X & Game Pass weekly podcast.

Xbox Is Not For Sale, And Gears Is Back
Gears of War: E-Day is here, and the first impressions are exactly what Xbox fans were hoping for. MrMcspicey, X1thegamer, and Jordantheman talk through the campaign opening, the updated movement, Siege mode, handheld play on the ROG Xbox Ally X, and why this feels like the kind of big Xbox moment the brand has needed for a long time.The crew also reacts to Xbox leadership shutting down the idea that Xbox is being sold off. After weeks of speculation, the answer seems pretty clear: Xbox is still Xbox, the games are still coming, and the conversation around the brand is a lot more interesting when it’s rooted in what players are actually getting.From there, the show turns into a full games conversation. RuneScape Dragonwilds has quietly become the group’s cozy survival game of choice, with fishing, farming, dungeon runs, base raids, locked chests, and a blood pact that is already falling apart. Dune: Awakening gets compared as the heavier survival option, while Dragonwilds keeps winning the crew over by feeling lighter, softer, and easier to live in.They also get into the current wave of releases, including The Witcher 3 upgrades, Disco Elysium, Keeper, Mythic, Prominence Poker’s impossible billion-chip achievement, and a cyberpunk life sim that immediately gets everyone’s attention. It’s a packed week for Xbox, and it feels like the calm before a much bigger storm of games.Who are the XoneBros?We are your exclusive Xbox Series X & Game Pass weekly podcast.

Activision Taking Over Halo Might Be Exactly What Xbox Needs
Episode #620: Activision is reportedly taking over development on the next Halo, and honestly, this might be one of the most exciting moves Xbox has made in years. The XoneBros break down why giving Halo to a team with deep shooter experience could be the reset the franchise needs, what Activision could bring from Call of Duty without turning Halo into Call of Duty, and why a great Halo game still matters so much for Xbox.We also dig into the leaked Xbox Mythic achievement system, including the badge, the sound, the name, and why this could finally give Xbox players a real reason to go back and finish games. Mythic achievements could make 100 percent completions feel special in a way Xbox has needed for a long time, especially if they show up clearly on player profiles.Plus, we talk about RuneScape: Dragonwilds, Star Wars Zero Company, Destiny’s latest apology video, and the weird pride that comes from comparing completed games. From Qbot to Elden Ring to Prominence Poker, this episode somehow becomes a full debate over what counts as a “real” 100 percent completion.Join the XoneBros as we talk Halo’s future, Xbox’s new achievement chase, Dragonwilds co-op chaos, and why prestige still matters in gaming.
