Special episode tonight as the crew joins to discuss the huge cross-network gameplay news out of Microsoft today!

We discuss the recent Xbox Wire post discussing Microsoft’s decision to natively support cross-network play on an open level with Xbox, whether it’s between Xbox One and Windows 10 like #IDARB, or across different online multiplayer networks “including other consoles and PC networks”. Rocket League will be the first title to allow cross platform play (and is quite possibly one of the leading reasons the feature is here) and we speculate on future games we’d like to see take advantage of the feature!

We also talk the news up coming ID@Xbox games, ID@Xbox on Windows 10, continued Game Preview program support, and MonoGame support coming to Xbox along with the game Axiom Verge and our hopes that something so similar to the XNA framework could lead to more games coming to Xbox One, and our wishful thinking for Rock Band Network!

This episode ends with another three tracks from the amazing Chronicles of Time album!

Warriors of Time – I’m a Pretty Big Fan of Fares
WARK! – Strange Occurences
Super Soul Bros. – Nick’oTime
