Is Xbox CHANGING Game Pass In 2024...? | Defining Duke, Episode 170

It's quiet... Too quiet. Indeed, we've found ourselves in the "pre-showcase lull" for Xbox. Still, we have some big news to sift through. For starters, indepedent developers have thrived during the era of Xbox Game Pass thanks to massive bags being handed out for day one access which compliments the lower budgets of these titles. According to prominent indie developers, that gold rush is over. The Dukes dive into the future of Xbox Game Pass. If the way Xbox sells games is changing and the layoffs that have occurred all circle around the sustainability of the business, then there's no reality where Game Pass gets out unscathed. So, what are they changing, how do indies factor in, and what does is accomplish? Speaking of indies, it would see that Hollow Knight Silksong is finally on the way. When will this massive game land for Xbox and is it sooner than we expect? Plus, more on the questionable state of Final Fantasy 14, the future of KOTOR Remake, Dragon's Dogma 2's success, and so much more!

Bummed they just missed the Hellblade II 30fps news. Next week should be interesting 👀

Hearing Cog talk about new anime, I just finished Blue Eyed Samarai on Netflix, and have been struggling to find something new. Gonna check Ninja out.

If you haven't seen Arcane yet, I highly recommend it - it's not exactly samurai-related but it's top of class in animated storytelling, and pushes the boundries of the medium in a simlar way that BES does.

We already know what this entire network has to say about anything 30fps. "We don't like it, but it's actually fine." "Yoooo you don't even notice, bro." "It's 30 but it's a smooth 30."

regarding HDMI cables, get yourself an HDMI splitter they are very cheap and they will save a ton of wear and tear on your consoles'/PC's ports over time. you really don't want to be unplugging and plugging back in HDMI cables any more often than you absolutely have to, I think.
