TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 154: PSVR2 and the Future of Gaming

Another huge week in the gaming world – one that has been totally dominated by the release of PSVR2. But how does that sit with the team at TheXboxHub? They discuss having played it, and where they think the future of gaming is going… There’s a ton more included too.

For instance there’s the games that the team have played and in Episode 154 we find Gareth, James, Neil and Paul from TheXboxHub chatting about some of the most recent Xbox titles. There’s Remoteness (and we’ve got a video showing you how that plays too), and Atari and Jeff Minter’s lost prototype in Akka Arrh. The guys also cover the arrival of Atomic Heart on Game Pass, how Dogurai is perhaps a step too close to ‘retro’ and how Sword and Fairy is a decent playthrough. 

But the big talking point is that PSVR2 launch. After getting hands-on with what it brings, there’s talk about the hardware itself, about the games and about the experience of VR as a whole. Does it mean we need an Xbox VR kit? 

Further to that comes news concerning the next Forza Horizon 5 expansion instalment and more.
