Master Chief, out.

What's happening friends? Welcome to podcast unlocked its episode 492 coming to you in my case live from my parents house in Arizona.

I love the totally non-descript background. No fun gaming this time, but this is as I said episode 492 for April 27th, 2021 joining me are Miranda Sanchez. Hello.

Hello, I've returned.

And your your PSA for everyone is construction related.

Yes. So the next month there is construction in my apartment building. And so you may hopefully will not hear any banging or loud noises.

Usually take lunch around the time we start recording. So hopefully everything just lines up and you won't be annoyed by whatever comes to your audio.

Perfect. Good good warning just in case and Destiny LaGarry. How are you my friend? My PSA is bam related because I'm going to bring the hype this episode. How's it going, Ryan? You doing okay?

Oh, I'm well. Well, I brought you a present. You seemed happy about that. I sure was. It's behind me over there. It's the mass effect helmet. Thank you so much. And I got to put batteries in it and make sure I set it to renegade.

The only way to play. No, yes. Yes. Miranda. Yes.

Evil. You got to go evil. Just go full. Just lean into it. Lean into it. You'll be by a mass effect to you'll be pushing people off of buildings. It's great.

Well, I don't mind that sometimes.

At least sometimes.

Oh, yeah. Well, you know, to each their own. When we got going on this week, we're going to talk about some big frame rates on Xbox this week, but first a couple of quick PSA is number one. Of course, our new YouTube home. Subscribe there.

We're no longer updating the the unlocked YouTube channel. We have moved to YouTube.com YouTube.com. I don't know what I just said. Where a website that is.

YouTube.com slash IGN games. That's the place you want to go. Subscribe to that channel. We're trying to get all of our unlocked friends over to that new home. You can also find beyond Nintendo voice chat. Game scoop is over there as well. If you're interested in any or all of those.

And then also the loot box. Remember, Yapa is dead. We tried it. Appreciate everybody that did send in those Yapa's. But now it's even easier to be featured on unlocked each week. All you got to do is tweet me your video loot box question. Just record yourself on video and tag me at DMC underscore Ryan.

I'm keeping a running list of them. We'll have one later on in this episode with that. Let's get rolling here. Guys, I want to talk first about EA and FPS boost. We have a just a massive drop from the Xbox compatibility team. I swear. Do you guys before I get into this.

You guys know remember as well as I do we all. I mean, suffered isn't the right word, especially in the pandemic age suffered in the in the video game context, not in the serious suffering. But you guys remember how.

How like sparse good Xbox news was for a while there last generation.
