It’s an Up Next so bountiful, so stocked with killer games, that the subs bench looks damn decent - a fourteen-strong squad of the most exciting games to be coming to Xbox during October 2022.

If you’re serious about your cars and you love Forza Horizon 5 then the Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges will no doubt be of great importance. But they aren’t always simple to complete; sometimes you just need a little hand with the fastest cars and the best tunes. And so that’s what we’ve sorted as Series 12 rolls into Autumn. 

After going hands-on with what HB Studios and 2K have put together this time around, we’re very much of the opinion that if you're looking to shoot low with a new golf game, PGA Tour 2K23 is the one that you'll want to have in your bag.

TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 140 is here, with our team covering anything of interest that emerged from or was shown off during the ID@Xbox Fall Showcase and Tokyo Game Show 2022. Heck, we even have highlights from the PlayStation State of Play, so please settle down and enjoy our musings.

It may be hard to believe, but we’re into Series 12 of the Forza Horizon 5 Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges. And as such, new changes are afoot - we got ourselves a Road Trip. 

Traitor! There’s something delightful about social deduction games like Among Us. We rarely get to undermine and betray our friends in real-life so living out those fantasies in video games is always a treat. Eville, a game from VestGames, published by Versus Evil, is building an experience around that simple concept.

Another week and TheXboxHub's A-Team get together to chat over the latest news and reviews from the world of gaming. We may be focused on the Xbox life, but you'll find us dipping into that of PlayStation, Switch, PC and more too. Episode 139 of TheXboxHub Official Podcast does just that - with focus on the latest Ubisoft Forward showcase, along with the Disney and Marvel events.

Series 11 - Spring sees the conclusion of Forza Horizon 5’s most recent season, but with that are a ton of new challenges, stunts and races. As always, we’ve got all the best cars and finest tunes that you’ll need in order to complete the latest Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges. 

The full game of Disney Dreamlight Valley is due in 2023, and you suspect that there’s more than enough time for the rough edges and soulless interactions to be compacted by WALL-E. If and when that happens, Animal Crossing should probably be wary. There’s a new contender for the laid-back time-waster crown. 

Before you embark on your adventure, we’ve got 10 top tips - 10 steps to success, if you will - to get you started. We fumbled through our playthrough of Disney Dreamlight Valley. Now, you don’t have to. 

We had a lot of affection for Escape Academy, handing it a 4/5 in review, so we jumped at the chance to get locked in a room with its creators, Coin Crew Games.

Series 11 - Winter kicks off in Forza Horizon 5 with a host of new challenges, PR Stunts, races and more to complete as part of the Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges. And we’ve got all the tips and tricks you’ll need in order to find success.

Settle down for another edition of our weekly podcast, with Gareth, James, Darren and Paul at the ready. We’ve got the likes of Saints Row and eFootball 2023 on the agenda, looking at whether they’re worthy additions to their respective series’ or simply living off past glories. There are plenty more games to discuss and a quiz too, so don’t miss TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 138.

For the second month running, we’ve utterly failed to keep the Up Next for September 2022 to ten games. In fact, there’s so many new Xbox games that we’re hyped about, that we’re stretching all the way to thirteen for September 2022. Positively gushing, the games are. 

Nothing. Gold. Nothing. Item. Gold. I’m not sure why this is my abiding memory of Blue Dragon.
