Mixer's Closure & Microsoft's Future with Streaming - Episode 52

Join the Bonus Accessory crew every Friday as they dive head first into all things Xbox, Xbox Game Pass, and PC gaming. Microsoft has officially decided to shut down its streaming service, Mixer, and with the decision comes a myriad of uncertainties. So, this week, we discuss what the future of streaming looks like for the Microsoft and the Xbox brand, why the Facebook Gaming partnership could end up being potentially damaging, and the dichotomy of the scenario when compared to big names like Ninja and Shroud, to smaller scale streamers and how it impacts their audiences. Plus, we’ve got tons of new Cyberpunk 2077 news coming out of their Night City Wire event, and while the game looks to evolve the open world RPG genre to new heights, are fans truly staying realistic with their expectations for what can be achieved in game? (spoiler: no of course not). Also, it looks as though Rocksteady could potentially be working on a Suicide Squad game for their next title, but will video games prove to be the right medium to have a Suicide Squad project work outside of its source material? All of this, and much more, on the newest episode of the Game Pass Gamecast! Be sure to subscribe and turn on notifications to be the first to  listen to new episodes as soon as they drop every Friday!
