TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 170: ID@Xbox Showcase July 2023

The ID@Xbox showcase has aired and so the team have come together for TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 170 to see whether the future is bright for the indie scene. It also features opinions on a selection of recently released titles including AEW: Fight Forever and Inner Ashes. 

Join Gareth, James, Paul and Richard as they start off the episode with a quick catch-up on their daily lives. There’s a TV recommendation, a rant about London, praise for AI chat bots, and an update on language studies. Things swiftly move on to the ID@Xbox showcase, with chatter about the games which caught our attention, in either a good or bad way. You’ll hear our thoughts on the following games:

• Birth
• Everspace 2
• Roman Sands RE:Build 
• Scarlet Deer Inn
• Stray Souls
• Stumble Guys
• Vampire Survivors
• And more…

In regards to the games TheXboxHub team have been playing lately, you’ll get the lowdown on a variety of titles. There’s the squad-based RTS The Valiant, crab catching in Deadliest Catch: The Game, Inner Ashes raising awareness for Alzheimer’s, the chill vibes of City Limits, and some Saints Row DLC. A double dose of wrestling is on the cards too, with AEW: Fight Forever and an early build of WrestleQuest in the spotlight.

And finally, the latest news surrounding the Xbox and Activision Blizzard merger is discussed alongside rumours of the next major Assassin’s Creed setting.
