   EP 22: Xbox stuns industry by making smart move

   Mike and Matt play The Division 2, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds and Danganronpa. They also discuss their favourite games from Gamescom and the elephant in the room that is GTA VI. And they're impressed (and a little surprised) that Xbox is starting to get some things right. Enjoy!
