Xbox can’t Haak It | indieRIFT Podcast #12

On this week’s show, the boys discuss Black Myth: Wukong taking over the gaming world. Matt brings un-rivaled enthusiasm to the table as he falls head over heels in love with Astral Ascent. Steve brings…absolutely nothing. Maybe internet issues? That’s about it. Plus - Haak cancels Xbox port because...they couldn't sign up to publish and Xbox and Microsoft couldn't help them...well then...That and so much more!!!
