    ♾️/5 stars, really immersive and informative
  • KiloPapaGolf
    Great show even without Major Nelson
    Love that the show is back. You all are doing a fantastic job. Keep it going 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
  • Akk0202
    Podcast is surprisingly even better
    ..I’m not sure what it is, but I’m really liking the podcast flow and discussions between the co-hosts.. I was worried the show would take a dip after Major Nelson leaving, but wow.. I’m loving it. keep it up guys :)

    Amazon Music Podcast
    The official Xbox Podcast was available on Amazon Music but is no longer supported. I hope Microsoft & Xbox can bring back the official Xbox Podcast to Amazon Music. Microsoft & Xbox customers listen to podcasts through different sources. Although Music and Podcasts on Amazon Music are not as good compared to Spotify and Apple, Amazon Music is still a viable platform for audio entertainment.

    Tone deaf once again
    Xbox doing podcasts wrong. Nobody wants to listen to directors and managers. We want to listen to an Xbox podcast done by the GAMERS. People who are actual consumers and fans of this product. Not people who are paid to sell it to us. Get these 3 off the podcast and hit the reset button.

    LOVE IT!
    Love the podcast and absolutely love the Xbox community. Xbox has so many public figures that are top CEO’s or employees at the company that represent the brand extremely well. Unlike PlayStation who just seem like corporate, faceless suits. Keep being awesome!

    Informative gaming news
    I miss Major Nelson, but I am happy that the show goes on.

    Both
    I think both PlayStation and Xbox are both good in their own ways Xbox may have better things then PlayStation and PlayStation has better things than Xbox so stop fighting

  • Ray8472
    Too much wokeness.
    Good podcast with lots of gaming news and information. The over the top virtue signaling is unnecessary. Every month there’s a focus on a different victim group.

    The Xbox Podcast crew are amazing. They have fun, have serious discussions and have great interviews. A triple threat of a podcast that is a great listen for Xbox fans

    Larry always puts on a great podcast! I am trying my hand at podcasting about games as well, please check me out.
  • davidreview
    Not Surprised
    Talking about Black Lives Matter or social justice issues about that is fine. But crickets when it comes to all the Palestinian children killed by a US ally. Collective punishment, numerous injustices, nothing. Got it. Shouldn’t be surprised. More surprised by the couple of podcasts who actually talked about BLM and the injustice happening to the Palestinian people.
  • Wraithfear33
    Need to be weekly
    To inconsistent on releasing podcast. Larry does a great job. Full of info just needs to be more often. If something big is coming they will put them out. Don’t need politics in the podcast.

    Love this podcast
    It’s good to hear the Major in a longer, unscripted format. I enjoy his banter, and as a Xbox fanboy I love hearing what’s in the works.
  • shitgoose116
    Boring
    These guys just ramble for the majority of the podcast and say little of value. I prefer the xonebros to be a more relevant podcast.
  • Brent1987
    The best!!

    No thanks

    Xbox chat
    Feels like I’m shooting the Xbox breeze with my buddies. My only qualm would be is that I wish the episodes came out out on a more consistent schedule.
  • Sup3rTallPaul
    Dull and PC
    The releases are entirely too sporadic and the conversation is too politically correct. They won’t give their actual opinions on games, they just say yeah it’s great! I’m having fun with it! It’s like listening to an Xbox commercial. If you want actual discussion about Xbox games and products, go listen to Podcast Unlocked by IGN.
  • lupinesihlord
    Love it, longing for the old days
    I remember when this was a weekly podcast....(just Larry and e) I’d download them to my windows phone and listen in the car off the speakerphone...wish it was still weekly....look forward to whenever a new one pops up

    Great, but inconsistent release schedule
    I really like this show, but I miss the days when it was released on a reliable schedule. I used to feel a lot more connected to the Xbox and used to purchase almost all multi-platform for the console, and I really did base that connection on listening to this podcast each week. However, for about the past year I have found myself splitting my time more equally between all of our consoles.
  • Jehxjebdheh
    Great, but has some flaws
    I loved this podcast... except for the fact that 1) it is slightly bias and 2) a 45 second intro song?! If not for the intro I would’ve rated 5 stars
  • Warthog30
    Pretty Awful
    I've been listening to this for years. Many years. A few major issues. The first is that mMajor Nelson is very arrogant. He spends a lot of time stressing how cool he is and putting his cohosts down. I can get past that as long as I get regular Xbox updates. Nope. You don't get them. As of today it's over a month without a podcast. I get it...you are busy. But for a Microsoft podcast 0 removed from the company this is completely, utterly unacceptable. Hire somebody to do the shows. They don't even realize that they have loyal followers who have left because of their irregularity. Thanks. I'd rather listen to Giant Bomb because they actually put in the effort. How is it even possible that in 2017 we can go over 1 month without a podcast update that is the sole majorly sponsored update from MS ? They have the inability to understand that people want/need to hear what they have to say regularly. So basically: Major Nelson is inappropriately arrogant, doesn't put out regular shows, and has regularly displayed the fact that he doesn't care to keep people informed....go elsewhere. XOne bros, giantbomb, anything. Just avoid Major Nelson. He and his show are really bad.
  • Cardboard_Bender
    Unqualified To Podcast
    They sound like a bunch of grandparents talking to their uninformed unknowledgable grandkid. Their talking points are such a waste and the games they play are just bad (Yes Overwatch etc). They are more concerned about where they ate or the sounds of the game segment. No real news or inside information that millions don't already know. They are biased and only talk the MS brand so it is completely one-sided. This is just not worth your time. Assuming they get paid this is a joke job. This Nelson guy is like Milton who just has a position because he weaseled his way around and they can't get rid of him. Like seriously what is his contribution? Easy check for doing nothing.
  • LDNight
    Love the show!
    I have been listening to this podcast now going on six or seven years. Major Nelson (Larry Hryb) is very informative and has a great voice. I also love all the other members and guest he has on his show. This is definitely one of the best gaming podcasts out there for the Xbox.
  • Trebek_dkm
    Can't give it a fair review
    Every Time it downloads on my phone the podcast is only 1 minute long. Don't know where to report.
  • Happy Reader123
    Talk About Video Games
    It would be a good podcast if they spent more time talking about games and less about themselves. You could probably cut the time in half if Larry didn’t need to tell an off topic story every time someone makes a comment that reminds him of it. Laura is cool. She talks about games mostly. E let’s Larry throw him off track too much. They should find a better host who stays on the topic of video games.
  • nardo10s
    Great show but...
    Fix Laura's mic!
  • Imahovandal
    Used to love this show
    So I quit listening to this months ago and thought I would try again. Am I the only one that is completely annoyed by Laura!?? Her voice totally contrasts and destroys the whole experience. Sorry will try again hope she's gone!! Or maybe change her mic, turn it all be way down or off. Please!!!
  • KGagne
    Gamers are people, too
    If you haven't been listening to this podcast for awhile, you might not appreciate the banter of the personalities. You also wouldn't be wrong in thinking that, as Microsoft representatives, they never have anything bad to say. But they're always honest with their reviews — they just choose to talk about the games they like, and not the ones they don't. It's an upbeat show with enjoyable characters.
  • RandyHoffhrin
    Less about you more about games
    Good podcast when they actually talk about Xbox and games, but most of every podcast is spent getting side tracked glossing over their personal lives, (sports, food travel...ect...) ..if you have plenty of patience, they will talk about some interesting stuff or they'll tell you they cant talk about something that they started to talk about? ... for a better Video game podcast I recommend Gamer Tag Radio, they are very informative and stay on topic...
