GameHounds 810: Big Trouble in Little XBox

About this episode

The episode discusses recent changes at Microsoft regarding Xbox, the implications of having an AI executive, and includes reviews of two games.

Phil's out. Asha's in. Sarah's fled the building. Man, we knew there would be heads rolling at Microsoft, but we didn't see that one coming (and apparently, Sarah Bond didn't either). We talk about what this might mean for XBox Gaming and how having an AI exec calling the shots on the future of XBox games might affect what we'll see from Microsoft in the coming years. Also, reviews of Slay the Spire (mobile) and Mewgenics. Join our Discord: discord.gg/s6ymDZ8gBn
