    Episode 309 | State of Decay 3 Lives, Forza Horizon 6 Looks Great!
    Apr 12 2026

    A quieter week in video games, but that doesn't stop us getting together to chat about everything that's gone down this week in the DayOne Show Episode 309!

    Before we dig into the news, we've sure been playing a lot of video games, and kicked things off this week with a review of People of Note, which I didn't really enjoy. Thankfully, I followed it up with a shiny Forza Horizon 6 preview. I got to tour Japan in full, and took a deep look at the game, which comes next month! For our members, there's a special 45 minutes extended look, if you're keen.
    Jesse released his review for Samson, which unfortunately launched in a pretty rough state, at least according to his review of this new mini-open world crime game.
    In news, it was unusually quiet, but we still got to dive into a number of topics, from State of Decay 3 and it's newly announced Alpha tests and the apparent release date leak for Halo Campaign Evolved. In other news, Xbox had some new updates for Achievements at long last, and the triple-i initiative had a really good showcase, with a lot of fantastic games.
    All this and more this week, alongside your community questions, so jump in!

    Episode 308 | "Xbox FanFest is back!"
    Apr 5 2026

    Another crazy week in video games! An Xbox Games Showcase is now locked in, and FanFests make a triumphant return with a worldwide tour. We chat through it all in the DayOne Show Episode 308.

    Before we dig into the new, we of course have to touch on all the fantastic video games we've been playing! I reviewed Darwin's Paradox!, a new puzzle platformer from ZDT Studios and Konami. I've also been checking out smaller title like Raccoin and Gunboat God and I'm previewing Forza Horizon 6 - more on that next week!
    Nick played and reviewed Super Meat Boy 3D, which has been a fun and incredibly frustrating time. Jesse reviewed and was subsequently delighted by the fantastic metroidvania Grime II, which is available now if you want to check it out.
    We also want to extend a big thank you to the community and everyone that joined us for our DayOne Spring Subathon, which saw us make a significant dent in our fundraising goals for the year, and a ton of new members via our new site memberships. You guys rock!

    In news, it's been a very Xbox focused week, with the Xbox Games Showcase announced and a Gears of War: E-Day Direct attached for good measure. In welcome news, Xbox FanFest is coming back, and even better is going on a world tour that sees the event expand to multiple locations this year. Hell, there's even an Xbox/Fanta collab this year.
    In other news, State of Decay 3 made a surprise Alpha announcement, and revealed new details in a YouTube interview. EIDOS Montreal suffered layoffs again, and the US Patent office rejected Nintendo's claim on 'summoning a character and letting it fight for you.' SHIFTUP acquired UNBOUND, Shinji Mikami’s new studio and Jason Blundell revealed his third new studio after Sony closed his last one. Oh, and speaking of Sony, they acquired a new 'Machine-Learning' outfit 'Cinermsive Labs'.
    All this and more this week, alongside your community questions, so jump in!

    Episode 307 | Xbox Partner Preview Breakdown
    Mar 29 2026
    When it comes time to write these shows up every Sunday, I feel like it's a miracle when it's been a quiet week - but not this time! Once again, the games industry is moving fast! We've got the Xbox Partner Preview, a more expensive PlayStation and a brand new Starfox game to discuss! All this and more in the DayOne Show, Episode 307!As always, we kick off the show talking video games, and Screamer kicked things off to start the week with a surprisingly refreshing take on an arcade racer - though not all of the panel agreed the direction Milestone took was the right one.Elsewhere, the team checked out Absolum, a gorgeous side-scroller roguellite beat'em up from Dotemu, along with Easy Delivery Co a short, quirky adventure with PS1 style graphics. Both are available on now on Xbox Game Pass. We've also been playing lots of games we can't quite talk about yet, but we can assure you there are a fair number of reviews dropping this coming week for lots of video games. One we can talk about is Ghost of Yotei, which Jesse's been playing on his brand new PlayStation 5 Pro because he makes reckless financial decisions...or does he?As it turns out, perhaps now was the time to pick one up, as Sony announced another price increase for the family of PlayStation 5 devices - including the Pro and Portal - and they shut down another studio too. Following a surprise Minecraft Dungeons 2 announcement on last week, Xbox have had their Partner Preview, and wowed us with 19 games, 14 of which are going to be day one on Xbox Game Pass - the list includes some serious heavy hitters, from RGG Studio's new IP, 'Stranger Than Heaven', Owlcat's 'The Expanse: Osiris Reborn' and Xbox releases for things like Hades 2 and Dispatch. Epic Games made headlines this week when they laid off over a thousand employees, due to what they called a 'declining' Fortnite player base and Nintendo not only reportedly cut back on Switch 2 production, but also raised physical prices in the US to match the rest of the world. Don't worry, no-one will stay mad for long - they're reportedly making a new Starfox game and a Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake.All this and more of course, in The DayOne Show Episode 307!
