About this episode

The episode discusses new game releases, including Forza Horizon 6 and Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders, along with Xbox controller news.

Two big games launched this week, and there's plenty of news to talk about. Let's get into things in The DayOne Show Episode 314! We kick off the show talking about a bunch of the games we've been playing this week! The biggest of course is Forza Horizon 6 , which is as incredible as you were probably hoping it to be. We've also been diving into titles like Directive 8020 , Subnautica 2 , Call of the Elder Gods , Outbound and the very surprisingly addictive Black Jacket - which we thoroughly recommend. There's a bunch of news topics to dig into this week. We've attended a real life Forza Horizon festival, and we've seen Forza Horizon 6 already pull in over 1 Million Players in it's Premium Access Launch. Grand Theft Auto 6 has made headlines thanks to some pre-order affiliate emails going out from Best Buy, suggesting that pre-orders for the game will open on May 18th . Xbox made a few headlines, with a disc-to-digital program on the cards and plenty of controller leaks from a new Cloud-gaming controller to the Elite Series 3 . Loads more on this episode, so jump in!
