Xbox Game Passengers – The PAX West 2019 Special #2
Welcome to another very special edition of the Xbox Game Passengers podcast.
Typically, every other Wednesday, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft’s Game Pass service, which was chosen for them completely at random.
But… today isn’t typical, and today isn’t Wednesday. Host Derek and regular guest Mikaela have descended on Seattle for the annual PAX West convention. Yesterday, the duo detailed all of the amazing games that they had the opportunity to experience during Saturday of PAX West 2019, and with another day in the books, they’re here to chat about what else… but more games.
Today they played games like The Suicide of Rachel Foster (which Derek immediately fell in love with), Wave Break (which feels very Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater-esque, with some insanely cool multiplayer modes), Cardpocalypse, Dauntless on Switch (with full cross-play and cross-progression), Her Story follow-up Telling Lies, the super-fun and addicting action of Windjammers 2, the intense roller-derby action of Roller Champions, Hitchhiker, the weird and wonderful world of Mutazione, the unbelievably beautiful world of Spiritfarer (which is already confirmed for Xbox Game Pass), the Stardew-esque Stranded Sails, Sparklight, the breathtaking style of Sayanara Wild Heart, and much, much more.
If this episode isn’t your thing, the show will be returning to its regularly scheduled programming on Wednesday, September 4th, when Mike returns to the show to chat about Gears of War: Ultimate Edition. But before then, tomorrow you’ll see another PAX episode release, and a PAX developer interview special coming later in the week.
Also, as Derek details pretty early on, he has kind of lost his voice over the past few days, so thanks a ton for bearing with him as he struggles to talk!
