Another week goes by, and this time the focus has been on that age-old question that the industry just can't seem to let go of - is Game Pass unsustainable? Is it even profitable? The answer of course, is that Game Pass is just fine actually, but we'll get into all the details in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 271.

High on the success of our recent Summer Subathon, Jon and Jesse are joined by the lovely Gareth Williams, CEO and Co-founder of PressEngine, and industry veteran of several decades. We talk through all the latest games we've been playing, from backlog clearing up things like Avowed, to the recent releases of College Football 26 from EA and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 from Activision. Even Civilization VII gets a shout out!
Following that, the team dive into all the latest goings on, from the drama surrounding Xbox Game Pass, Rare's Sea of Thieves and Jon's desire for a sequel as well as the latest Halo rumours and Krafton's Subnautica 2 drama.
