Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers.
We may not be having an E3 this year, but early June has been chock-full of gaming news and announcements.
Today, Xbox showed their hand with a huge double-showcase — first showing off what’s coming down the pipeline for Xbox as a whole (including a lot of releases for 2024), and then showing off a massive look at September’s highly anticipated (and the platform’s much needed) Bethesda RPG Starfield.
A couple of the boys from Dynamic Resolution (Shane and Llogan) joined Derek to break down their favourite reveals, some baffling moments, and what titles they’re most excited for on this very special edition of Xbox Game Passengers.
If you missed it, take a look at the showcase right here, and let us know what you’re most excited for!
Side note: I totally spent some of the early show complaining about a mass of CGI trailers without any release date. I totally missed that the Fable reveal said ‘in game’, and it never clicked for me because it just looked so good.

040 — As Dusk Falls
Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers.
After a bit of a much-needed break from the show, we're excited to be back with a brand-new episode.
Derek and Dougie jumped into As Dusk Falls hoping to relive the Telltale Games there-are-no-good-choices glory days (well, at least Derek was) with As Dusk Falls. How did things turn out? Listen on to find out!
Now, we hope to be back very soon with regular episodes, but we don't quite know what that looks like yet. You'll hear it in the show itself, but Derek has been having a hard time enjoying games at all as of late (hence the long break), and being forced to play some potentially bad games doesn't seem like the best way to overcome that. There are plenty of things that he's missed (and plenty of those things on Xbox Game Pass), so he's going to focus on playing some titles that are hopefully enjoyable, and craft some episodes from there!
As Dusk Falls is an original interactive drama from INTERIOR/NIGHT that explores the entangled lives of two families across thirty years. Starting in 1998 with a robbery-gone-wrong in small town Arizona, the choices you make have a powerful impact on the characters’ lives in this uncompromising story of betrayal, sacrifice and resilience.
Replay the story again and again to uncover vastly different outcomes for the characters and explore hidden nuances behind every decision. Will your characters survive unscathed? What kind of people will they ultimately become?

039 — Bugsnax
Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers.
Once a month, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service, which was chosen for them (usually) at random.
Whether the game is a magical or a horrible experience, they’ll force themselves through it, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the game is worth your time! At the end of each episode, they’ll also randomly select the game for the following show, so you always know what’s coming up on the next adventure.
From Octodad creators Young Horses comes Bugsnax, a nigh-indescribable adventure with cutesy graphics, adult humour, and an astoundingly unique assortment of half bug half snack creatures. Dougie returns to the show to chat all about this unique experience.
Bugsnax takes you on a journey to Snaktooth Island, home of the legendary half-bug half-snack creatures, Bugsnax. Invited by intrepid explorer Elizabert Megafig, you arrive to discover your host nowhere to be found, her camp in shambles, and her followers scattered across the island alone… and hungry! It’s up to you to solve the mysteries of Snaktooth Island: What happened to Lizbert? What are Bugsnax and where do they come from? But most of all, why do they taste SO GOOD?
