Hello and welcome to the official Xbox podcast, the only podcast that comes to you from

inside Xbox. I'm Ethan, and today we are digging into a whole mess of topics, including

updates on the Xbox platform, cloud gaming, Xbox Play Anywhere, and of course, the Xbox

ally. And to help us out, we have not one, but two Jason's here today, Jason Beaumont and Jason Ronald. They're going to be our experts on all things Xbox. Welcome in, guys. How you doing? Great. Thanks for having us. Yeah, good to have you here. I always love getting to be at this table with you both. But most importantly, I see you brought an ally today. I got to ask, the first question we always asked on the show, what are you playing? So for me, right now, Balatro is taking the lion's share of my gaming time. But I'm playing a lot on the Xbox ally. Another game that I'm really enjoying right now is Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 and 4. Like, it's just so great to go back and just start, start like grinding the rails and finding all the paths that you remembered. So it's just, it's been a great time playing. A little shot of nostalgia. Those games are like perfect for for handheld play too, like hanging out, lounging around, playing some retro games. I was always diving into oblivion myself recently. Like that's what you to. Yeah, I did the remaster. Yes, I cannot.

It's a problem. It's a real problem. I think I talked about it last episode, which at this point was a few months ago, maybe. So, yeah, I really can't get enough of it. What about you? Well, I was going to say, speaking of remasters, so my teenage daughter recently discovered Resident Evil. Whoa. Yeah, exactly, right. I know, no kidding.

Are you starting with the remasters?

I think I'm going to do release order. teenage daughter recently discovered Resident Evil. Whoa. Yeah, exactly, right?

I know, no kidding.

So are you starting with the remasters?

I think I'm going to do release order. Okay, you are. Yeah, yeah. So, but, but I mean, that's the debate, right? Do you do like chronological, like, it's tough, right? I wanted to see, like, this is what it was like. Yeah. This is like before we discovered how 3D cameras work.

Right.

Something.

This is how things operated, right?

It did make it scarier because I knew, like, I, This is like before we discovered how 3D cameras work. Right. Something.

This is how things operated, right?

It did make it scarier because I knew, like, I knew I was going to miss a few shots. Right. That's right. Yeah. That's exactly right. Yeah. So, but like Jason, I've been playing Bellatro a lot. And my friends and I were big survival gamers. So Grounded 2 is coming up on the menu and abiotic factor, which I don't know if you've checked that out yet. I had not. Oh, it just came out of Game Pass. It's like, imagine you're the scientists in Black Mesa from Half-Life. Whoa. You're trying to survive. Like you're running around the office trying to be like, how do we like, you know, break apart a desk to turn it into a crowbar to, you know.

So it is a survival game through.

So it's like an average. Like you're running around the office trying to be like, how do we like, you know, break apart a desk to turn it into a crowbar to, you know.
