We kick things off by running down the entire presentation from Inside Xbox on the Xbox Series X partner titles...but where is the gameplay they promised?

Continuing the news: Disintegration gets a June launch date, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is selling like HOTCAKES, Mortal Kombat 11 is getting an expansion, and The Last of Us Part II's new trailer is super intense...maybe too intense? Finally, Britt is dipping her toes in Sakura Wars, Steimer streamed Later Daters, and Andrea enjoyed the mayhem in Predator: Hunting Grounds while not hanging out with Tom Nook.
