Settle down for another edition of our weekly podcast, with Gareth, James, Darren and Paul at the ready. We’ve got the likes of Saints Row and eFootball 2023 on the agenda, looking at whether they’re worthy additions to their respective series’ or simply living off past glories. There are plenty more games to discuss and a quiz too, so don’t miss TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 138.

Also on this episode, Paul’s delving into a double dose of downloadable content in the form of The Riftbreaker Metal Terror DLC and the Aliens: Fireteam Elite Pathogen expansion. Additionally, there are opinions from the rest of the team on the mysterious Immortality, the arcade boating antics of Smash Boats Waterlogged Edition, and platforming adventure Dyna Bomb 2.

Outside of gaming, Only Murders in the Building and The Rehearsal have piqued our interest on TV and streaming services. It’s been a quiet week otherwise and so what better way to end than with another quiz for us to show off our gaming knowledge.
