Currently on hiatus whilst I search for a co-host, but will hopefully be returning in the future.

If you’re an Xbox fan, then this is the podcast for you! Get the most out of your Game Pass subscription with the Exploring Game Pass podcast! Released on the 8th and 22nd of every month, each episode takes a look at a different game or genre, and will help you to discover some amazing titles as well as some hidden gems.

The episodes also feature the games that are coming to and leaving the service. That way you can make sure to play any of your favourite titles before they leave, as well as be aware of what’s on the horizon. Games are usually on Game Pass for at least a year, so even if you listen to an episode late, it’ll hopefully still be available for you to play.
