2 weeks - Two big topics dominate our Xbox show this week: first, Resident Evil Requiem. Our own Michael Higham got to play a few hours of a near-final build, and he came back super excited about what will probably be the biggest game in the first quarter of 2026. And then we discussed AMD's CEO publicly stating that they'd be ready to support a next-gen Xbox launch in 2027, including whether or not we think the next Xbox will beat the PlayStation 6 to market, whether that even matters, and what Microsoft could do to try and get core gamers excited about what promises to be a very different type of console. 00:00:00 - Intro & Resident Evil Requiem 00:18:29 - Next-gen Xbox launch in 2027? 00:48:32 - No Plans For The Outher Worlds 3 01:03:04 - New to Game Pass & Outro #xbox #gaming #residentevil

2 weeks, 1 day - In today's Daily Fix:Nintendo's latest financial results show a mixed bag of results for the Switch 2. Kirby Air Riders, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Mario Kart World are selling in the millions, but notably missing is Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. The game was not listed in either the Switch or Switch 2 million-seller lists, however it's possible that combined sales across Switch platforms could total one million or more. The game had a rocky development history, being delayed several years and changing dev teams. In other sales news, Obsidian's The Outer Worlds 2 and Avowed did not meet sales expectations, and the company has announced they don't have any plans for The Outer Worlds 3 (but will continue exploring the world of Eora, the setting for Avowed and Pillars of Eternity). And finally, February's Game Pass line up has been revealed, with High on Life landing day one on the service.

Between No Man's Sky, Starfield, and countless others, the space-sim genre has arguably never been in ruder health. But games that focus on space exploration have a fundamental problem: space is boring. It's mostly empty, impossibly, unimaginable stretches of nothing, full of empty, rocky planets of no interest to anyone except NASA geologists and associated nerds. One of Starfield's designers, Bruce Nesmith, recently said as much in a rare podcast appearance, admitting that Starfield's biggest problem is that space is inherently boring. So, how do you fix the space sim genre? How can Starfield 2 be better? Well, hear us out: by looking to games that are adjacent to the genre: space-based action RPGs, like Mass Effect or its Xbox Studios stablemate, The Outer Worlds 2. This is what What Starfield 2 Needs to learn from The Outer Worlds 2. This video was created by Jim Trinca and was originally featured on Eurogamer.
