In Gritty We Trust | Ben Branscum

Fri, 24 Feb 2023 14:30:00 +0000

In this episode, we delve into the latest developments in the world of gaming and entertainment. First up, we discuss the recent announcement that Microsoft has signed a 10-year contract with Nintendo to bring Xbox games to their consoles. This partnership is a major win for both companies, and has the potential to revolutionize the gaming industry.

Next, we turn our attention to the magical world of Harry Potter, where the highly-anticipated game 'Hogwarts Legacy' has been making waves. With over 267 million hours played, this game has exceeded fan expectations and surpassed the interest generated by the 'Fantastic Beasts' franchise.

Join Ben and I as we explore these exciting topics and discuss what they mean for the future of gaming and entertainment.
