Red Dead Redemption 2 Special

Luke, Heidi and Sean get together to discuss the latest Xbox and PlayStation news. They cover the pricing and launch date announcements for the Xbox Series X and S, and the PlayStation 5, as well as looking at all the launch titles coming for both systems, and the PS5 game showcase.

Yesterday Microsoft presented their long awaited Xbox 20/20 Games Showcase. It focused entirely on the games we will be able to play on the Xbox Series X and included a number of world premieres, console exclusives, and more. We've recorded a special edition of the TrueAchievements Podcast to share our thoughts on the Xbox Games Showcase. We touch on most of the games in the event, discussing what we liked, what we didn't, what surprised us, and finally some predictions for the future.

Happy New Year TA-ers! Welcome to our end of year special, where Sam, Ollie and I were joined by our Editorial Manager, Mark, as we take our annual look back at all of the biggest news stories, site announcements and games from the world of Xbox and PlayStation over the past 12 months. Thanks for listening, sending in questions and providing feedback on the show throughout the past year. As we mention during the show, this will be our last regular episode of the podcast, as we look to focus our combined efforts on making all three of the TGN sites the best they can be in 2019. It's not the end of the show completely, however, as we'll be back to share our opinions on some of the bigger games as they release and the larger industry events, so stay tuned to the homepage to catch the next episode.

Will Crackdown 3 really release in March? Are Ubisoft going to finally reveal a new Splintercell? We don't know, but it's fun to try and put together some of the clues and come up with conclusions!
