SCUF Interview, Black Ops 7 Beta, and Xbox Game Pass

About this episode

The episode features an interview with SCUF discussing controller history and insights on the Black Ops 7 Beta and Xbox Game Pass.

In this episode, we're joined by our friends at SCUF for a deep dive into the surprising history of the controller thumbstick. We also get our hands on the new Valor Pro Wireless, breaking down the specs and giving our impressions. Later, we jump into the action with our thoughts on the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Beta and discuss whether the franchise is heading in the right direction. We close the show by examining the current state of Xbox Game Pass and its value to gamers in late 2025. A special thank you to the team at SCUF for the fantastic interview and to Activision for providing early access codes for the Black Ops 7 Beta.
