Опубликовано 2 октября 2020, 13:00

Welcome back to Next-Gen Console Watch 2020, our new show following all the news and rumors on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Series S. I’m Daemon Hatfield, and this week I’m joined by Ryan McCaffrey, host of IGN’s Xbox podcast, Podcast Unlocked, and Jonathon Dornbush, host of IGN's PlayStation podcast, Podcast Beyond.

This week we discuss the cost of speed vs. capacity in next-gen gaming, and we’ve got some info on the next-NEXT-gen consoles. But we begin with the Xbox Series X that Ryan has in his home and has been putting through the paces for several days now.
