·2 min
The episode opens with a summary of Xbox's partner preview, which featured multiple game reveals. Hades 2 is highlighted as launching on Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation on April 14th, with Stalker 2 getting new DLC later this year. Other previews include Hunter the Reckoning and The Expanse Osiris Reborn, which has a beta starting April 22nd. Bluey Happy Snaps is mentioned as a cute reveal involving an Australian blue healer in a photography adventure. Several titles like Serious Sam Shattered Verse and Weathering Waves are noted for launching directly onto Game Pass. The host then shifts to a chronological list of April game releases. Early in the month, Goat Simulator 3 releases on April 1st, followed by Starfield on PlayStation 5 on April 7th and Pokemon Champions on April 8th. Mid-month includes Replaced and Hades 2 on April 14th, plus Mouse PI for Hire and Tomodachi Life living the dream on April 16th. Later releases include Pragmata on April 17th, Vampire Crawlers on April 21st, and Diablo 4, Lord of Hatred, and Sauros on April 30th. The episode concludes with a review of Super Meat Boy 3D, where Brody gives it a 7 out of 10. The review states that while it maintains the spirit of the original, it doesn't evolve its ideas enough and reframes them, leading to frustration in its platforming. The format is a solo news report, with no guests, focusing on upcoming releases and one review. Recurring themes include Game Pass availability, specific release dates, and critical analysis. Key moments are the Hades 2 announcement, the Bluey reveal, and the Super Meat Boy 3D critique.
