XoneBros: A Positive Gaming & Xbox Series X Community is a podcast focusing on Xbox and Microsoft games. It explores the games themselves, the Xbox console, and the gaming culture at large. The show has a broad scope of interests within its purview, which helps to make it a compelling listen.
The podcast began in 2013. Its hosts are three close friends who are passionate about Xbox gaming. They go by MrMcspicey, X1TheGamer, and JordthemanXOB. The trio had a specific directive when beginning this podcast. They felt that many segments of the gaming community had become negative. The hostility and aggression the hosts encountered online was very off-putting to them. They set out to create a podcast that would not only explore gaming, but also promote positivity. This inclusive approach helps to bring in new listeners and make them feel at ease.
The podcast discusses popular Xbox exclusives with large fanbases. These include such titles as Diablo, Halo, and World of Warcraft. As the hosts are all friends it makes sense that much of the focus would be on multiplayer titles, but that is far from the sole focus of the podcast. Solo titles, such as Alan Wake 2 and Forza, are also a part of the discourse here.
This podcast analyzes the gaming industry as a whole and why it operates the way it does. Several episodes focus on discussions that are beyond just reviewing game titles. These include looking at why The Game Awards should revise their categories. The show also devoted an entire episode to whether Xbox's Game Pass Core was actually a good deal for gamers.
XoneBros: A Positive Gaming & Xbox Series X Community releases new episodes on Saturdays.
