Games in this podcast range from E to M.

Hello and welcome to the official Xbox podcast, the only podcast coming to you from Inside Xbox. We're into June. Things are starting to heat up. Not talking about the weather. I am talking about the games industry. Everything really picks up at this time of year. And let me tell you, no better person to talk through it with, then my favorite co-host, and I'm not just saying that, Tina Amini.

You too.

It's always good to have you back here. I miss you when you're not here. Oh, thanks. Same. And it's a good thing that you're here because we do actually have a lot to talk about. We just launched Force of Horizon 6. Congrats to Playground Games on that. We had a big Call of Duty Modern Warfare for reveal yesterday.

a really cool opportunity to get out and spend time with students. And a few different forums,

DigiPen was kind enough to invite me to give a commencement address. A cool moment for me

just to see people that are starting their journey in games and also the fact that there's a place

like DigiPen that exists, right? You can go get a degree in so many parts of making a game.

I also got to spend time at Stanford and talk to a class that deals with leadership and entertainment.

Fascinating that they had a lot of questions about what we're doing in TV and movie and film, which was cool.

And then spent time at USC, so we're pretty involved in their games program.

They have an amazing games program down there, and it was, I guess you'd call their Capstone part of the year, a Capstone project.

So we got to see projects that they had been working on blows me away what some of the

students do and that they're able to form these teams, 30, 40, 50 people. So many of these games

are just this far away from something that you might see come through ID at Xbox or from one of our
