Xbox may have just signaled the future of its next generation hardware. At GDC this week Microsoft confirmed Project Helix, a next-generation Xbox initiative built around a custom AMD chip and designed to support both console and PC gaming. But what exactly is Helix — a traditional console successor or something closer to a living-room gaming PC? This week on Xbox Expansion Pass, Luke Lohr (InsipidGhost) and Captain Logun break down everything currently confirmed about Project Helix and what it could mean for the future of the Xbox ecosystem. We also analyze the early player numbers behind Bungie's Marathon, including Steam concurrency and early ownership estimates, and discuss whether the launch trajectory raises questions for Sony's live-service strategy. Plus, Epic Games is changing Fortnite's V-Bucks economy, meaning players will soon receive fewer V-Bucks for the same money. Additional topics include Xbox Gaming Copilot coming to consoles, a major milestone for Silent Hill 2 Remake, and several notable announcements coming out of GDC 2026.

Jake Martin and co-host Landry Smith return after a long break to discuss the current “state of play” for gaming, including major shifts at PlayStation and Xbox, the Switch 2's early momentum, and how PC and console experiences are increasingly converging. They share frustrations with rising subscription costs and debate whether subscription models help or hurt creativity. In Landry's new segment “Let's Fix That,” they call out digital storefront “slop”—misleading, low-quality, and explicit shovelware flooding PlayStation and Nintendo shops—and suggest stronger curation and publishing limits. They wrap with what they've been playing, including Landry's praise for Xenoblade Chronicles X and Jake's surprisingly addictive time with Pokémon Pokopia.Timestamps:00:00 Intro01:48 Show Rundown and New Segment02:30 State of Play10:54 Are Game Subscriptions Worth It?14:06 PC vs Console23:14 Lets Fix That - "E-Slop"38:32 What Are Ya Playin'?38:50 Xenoblade Chronicles X44:27 Pokemon Pokopia54:48 Wrap Up and Plugs

Week of: 3-2-2026 Xbox Gaming News, Releases, and A Fun Fact

This week on Xbox Expansion Pass, Luke Lohr (InsipidGhost) and Captain Logun examine one of the most interesting weeks in the gaming industry. Xbox has revealed the codename for its next generation hardware — Project Helix — a console designed to bridge the gap between Xbox and PC gaming ecosystems. At the same time, reporting from Bloomberg's Jason Schreier suggests that PlayStation may be reconsidering its strategy of bringing major single-player games to PC, potentially returning to a stronger focus on console exclusivity. We also discuss the launch of Bungie's Marathon, one of Sony's most important live-service releases following the company's $3.6 billion acquisition of Bungie. Topics include: • What Project Helix could mean for Xbox's future • Whether Xbox is building a console-PC hybrid • Sony's possible shift away from PC releases • The launch and early reactions to Marathon • The evolving battle between console exclusivity and platform ecosystems

In today's Daily Fix:Xbox's new CEO, Asha Sharma, has officially teased the next console: codenamed "Project Helix." The next-generation gaming console will be compatible with PC as well as Xbox games. Sharma will be at the Game Developers Conference next week to share more details. In other news, Highguard has received its final update, the "Farewell Tour" patch, which adds a new playable Warden, new skill tree, and new weapons. Players will get to enjoy it for a week before the whole game shuts down on March 12. Castlevania fans worried that the new Belmont's Curse might be more roguelike or roguelite than classic Castlevania, fear not. Developer Motion Twin has roguelike experience with the hit game Dead Cells, but Konami is promising a classic Castlevania experience with the new game. And finally, Ubisoft has released the first piece of concept art for the upcoming Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced, the remake of the fan-favorite fourth Assassin's Creed game.

ITL poses the Question of the Day: which celebrity, athlete, or public figure's passing would hit you so hard that friends and family would immediately reach out to check on you? The crew shares their answers and opens the lines for listeners to weigh in.

In today's Daily Fix:Sony is reportedly not interested in sharing some of their upcoming first-party titles with PC. Via Bloomberg, the company may hold back some of their single-player titles and keep them PS5-exclusive—titles such as Insomniac's Wolverine and the recent Ghost of Yōtei may not receive PC ports. Multiplayer-focused titles like Marathon, however, will still be released on PC. In other news, Highguard will be taken offline on March 12, just 45 days after it was officially released. In happier news, Resident Evil Requiem may be the franchise's best launch, with around 5 million copies sold in less than a week.

Retro and current gen gaming chat, with Trev and Stu, its the Console Shockcast! On this week’s shockcast it's all about rediscovering classics, fan-made passion projects, and the chaos of retro tech. We dive into free arena shooters, questionable dial-up online experiences, modern throwbacks to 90s racers, and surprisingly great movie-to-game adaptations. There's plenty of CRT-era nostalgia, exciting preservation breakthroughs, and one painful battle with outdated PC gaming services thrown in for good measure. Rayman Reborn? Trev discovers Rayman Redemption, the fan-made remake of the PS1 classic — but is it actually better than the official 30th Anniversary effort? Arena Shooter Resurrection – The legendary Unreal Tournament 2004 is now free, and Stu wastes no time jumping back into the frag-fest. Does it still slap? Dial-Up Dreamcast – Online console gaming on a 33k modem… revolutionary at the time, but was it secretly a laggy nightmare? Sideways in the 90s – Old School Rally powerslides onto the scene as a modern tribute to the golden era of rally games. Pure nostalgia or style over substance? Busting Still Feels Good – Revisiting Ghostbusters: The Video Game and its remaster — one of the greatest movie-to-game adaptations ever? Chunky Scanline Memories – Those thick black CRT lines from the 90s… did we all see them, or is nostalgia playing tricks on us? N64 Recomp Revolution – Trev explores the magic of N64 decompilation projects, including Banjo-Kazooie and Mario Kart 64 — preservation at its finest. Legacy of GFWL – Stu goes toe-to-toe with Games for Windows Live to resurrect the original PC port of Gears of War. Victory or technical heartbreak? Check out Trev and Al’s other podcast where they reminisce about a different episode of Star Trek every month! : https://longrangesensors.com/episodes Intro/Outro Music – Turn The Page (Tutorial Theme) – Ridge Racer Type 4 (1998) – Sony Playstation – Composer(s): Hiroshi Okubo

Enter the cozy and wholesome game: relaxing, low-stakes, low or no combat, and an excellent way to unwind and de-stress from our current timeline. We talk about a bunch of them on this episode. 

Linktree: ⁠https://linktr.ee/Analytic⁠Join The Normandy For Additional Bonus Audio And Visual Content For All Things Nme+! Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠The latest Notorious Mass Effect segment from Analytic Dreamz dives deep into the 2025 video game industry landscape, drawing from Matthew Ball's State of Video Gaming 2026 report. Global content sales reached a record $195.6 billion, up 5.3% year-over-year, marking three straight years of growth and surpassing the 2021 peak despite ongoing structural challenges.This episode breaks down the paradox: record revenue contrasts with a 55% collapse in private funding, ongoing layoffs totaling ~44,000 jobs from 2022-2025 (9,200 in 2025 alone, down 40% from 2024), and a surge in outsourcing now at 35.5% of content investment. Console spending hit $41.6 billion, driven by subscriptions like PlayStation Plus, Xbox Game Pass, and Nintendo Switch Online offsetting declining direct sales, while PC grew strongly to $40.7 billion.Key drivers include China capturing 38% of global spending growth and Roblox alone accounting for 67% of net industry expansion, with peaks of 47.3 million concurrent users. Mobile shows warning signs of flat growth reliant on price hikes rather than new players.Analytic Dreamz explores projected 2026 opportunities in non-core markets, advertising, direct-to-consumer models, external development, and platforms like Roblox. The takeaway: the industry isn't monolithic—growth is uneven, concentrated, and service-driven across segmented ecosystems.Tune in for this essential analysis on the state of gaming today and tomorrow.
