Yesterday Microsoft presented their long awaited Xbox 20/20 Games Showcase. It focused entirely on the games we will be able to play on the Xbox Series X and included a number of world premieres, console exclusives, and more. We've recorded a special edition of the TrueAchievements Podcast to share our thoughts on the Xbox Games Showcase. We touch on most of the games in the event, discussing what we liked, what we didn't, what surprised us, and finally some predictions for the future. | |||

In a TA podcast first, Jack put aside every version of Bioshock 2 and stopped stacking Batman games to try out the latest iteration in the Resi Evil franchise, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, before anyone else, and we were also joined once again by our Editorial Manager, Mark, who shared his thoughts on the recently remastered Bioshock trilogy, Mafia III and Watch_Dogs 2.
From next week, we'll be giving away two Xbox One download codes per show. One will be awarded to the person who submits the question of week, and entry for the second contest announced in the show. | |||
| TrueAchievements Episode 54 | 27 Jan 2017 | 01:07:21 | |
It's been another busy week of gaming for the TrueAchievements podcast crew. We've streamed another five ID@Xbox games on our new Beam channel, Rich got hands-on time with an early build of DiRT 4 at yesterday's launch event and we've been earning lots of score to stay in GTASC.
| |||
| TrueAchievements Episode 53 | 20 Jan 2017 | 00:47:22 | |
Welcome to the 53rd episode of the TrueAchievements Podcast, where despite the lack of any big games so far this year, we've managing to keep ourselves busy with games from our backlogs and the varied line-up of games releasing via the ID@Xbox program.
| |||
| TrueAchievements Episode 52 | 13 Jan 2017 | 00:42:00 | |
We go through this week's biggest news announcements, what we've been playing to hopefully stay past week one of this year's GTASC, take a look at what games will be coming our way next week, and answer your questions. Links: | |||

| |||
| TrueAchievements End of Year Review | 23 Dec 2016 | 02:13:15 | |
For the final episode of 2016, Rich, Jack and I were joined by Editorial Manager, Mark, as we take a look back at all the biggest news stories, site announcements and games from the past 12 months, as well as taking a look at what's to come in 2017.
| |||
| TrueAchievements Episode 50 | 16 Dec 2016 | 01:12:34 | |
With the holiday season now almost upon us, today's podcast marks our 50th show (excluding specials) overall, and the final "regular" show of 2016. Have no fear, however, because we will be back next Friday with an end of year special where we'll run down all of the biggest news, games and site updates from the past 12 months with a special guest.
| |||
| TrueAchievements Episode 49 | 09 Dec 2016 | 01:09:34 | |
We've gone ID@Xbox mad this week. Partly due to the fact that Dead Rising 4 was the only big release from the past week, but also due to our new regular Twitch streams of ID@Xbox games.
| |||
| TrueAchievements Episode 48 | 02 Dec 2016 | 01:09:06 | |
The rush of games has finally slowed down, which meant none of us started any new games this week - well not that we can talk about, unfortunately. Instead Rich spent some more time with Watch_Dogs 2, Jack took a break from regional variants to play some Overcooked, and I returned to Assassin's Creed The Ezio Collection before switching to an upcoming new release that's filled with zombies and photographs.
| |||
| TrueAchievements Episode 47 | 25 Nov 2016 | 01:05:37 | |
For the first time in a few weeks, none of us have jumped into any new games this past week. Instead Rich and I have been getting some monies worth out of our recent purchases, while Jack has been playing Bioshock 2 across multiple regional releases.
| |||
| Red Dead Redemption 2, xCloud, Bully 2 Rumours and More | 12 Oct 2018 | 01:07:34 | |
Welcome to episode two of the TGN podcast, where this week I was joined by Ollie and Sam as we discussed the Red Dead Redemption 2 trophy/achievement list leak, rumours of a sequel to Bully: Scholarship Edition, game streaming on the go with xCloud, Microsoft's reported interest in acquiring Obsidian, and Skybound stepping into the save The Walking Dead: The Final Season. We also, give you the chance to win an Xbox One game code (leave us a comment in the thread below to enter), discuss this week's ID@Xbox streams, and answer your questions, including the question of the week.
| |||
| TrueAchievements Episode 46 | 18 Nov 2016 | 00:54:00 | |
It's another week of big releases, and we've once again forsaken our completion percentages to bring you our early thoughts on Watch_Dogs 2 and Assassin's Creed The Ezio Collection.
| |||
| TrueAchievements Episode 45 | 11 Nov 2016 | 01:04:32 | |
There are only a couple of weeks to go until the release calendar returns to normality and we can finally start to get some monies worth out of our gaming purchases, but until then the TA podcast crew remain focused on bringing you opinions from all the big releases. This week is no different as both Rich and me both picked up a copy of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered.
| |||
| TrueAchievements Episode 44 | 04 Nov 2016 | 01:07:06 | |
With Battlefield 1, Titanfall 2 and Gears of War 4 releasing over the past few of weeks, and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered arriving today, this week's podcast is a "super shooter special".
| |||
| TrueAchievements Episode 43 | 21 Oct 2016 | 00:58:08 | |
It's been a slower week for the big new releases, but there's still a lot to discuss as it's been a hugeweek for news with a certain cowboy game being announced and a short trailer showing what Nintendo has to offer next.
| |||
| TrueAchievements Episode 42 | 14 Oct 2016 | 01:05:27 | |
Hello and welcome to episode 42 of the TrueAchievements Podcast. This week's show is a little bit longer than normal, but that's purely down to all of the big titles that have hit over the past week - there's so much to talk about!
| |||
| TrueAchievements Episode 41 | 07 Oct 2016 | 00:42:26 | |
Hello, and welcome to episode 41 of the TrueAchievements Podcast. Unfortunately, Rich was very pushed for time when we were recording and had to sneak off halfway through, but thankfully Jack and I managed to soldier on without him and talk about him behind his back to finish the show.
| |||
| TrueAchievements Episode 40 | 30 Sep 2016 | 01:13:51 | |
Before we go into get this week's show, a quick apology for not uploading anything last week. As Rich had previously mentioned he was away over the weekend, and our backup plan unfortunately didn't materialise. We hope you didn't miss us too much!

| TrueAchievements Episode 38 | 09 Sep 2016 | 01:12:08 | |
Today is a very special podcast for a couple of reasons. Firstly, because it marks our 50th show (including specials), but most importantly because we were lucky enough to be joined at the end of the show by a very special guest, Grant Orban from Playground Games, who gave us an insight in to what goes into making a game like Forza Horizon 3. | |||
| TrueAchievements Episode 37 | 02 Sep 2016 | 00:53:27 | |
Before we get into the content of this week's episode of the TrueAchievements Podcast, I'd like to say a massive thank you to everyone that tuned in during August and contributed with comments, suggestions and questions - it was our best month for downloads by quite a long way.

| Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Harry Potter RPG Leak and More | 05 Oct 2018 | 01:15:16 | |
In last week's podcast notes, I mentioned that we had been tossing around the idea of switching from a solely TA focussed podcast to a TGN podcast, where we can discuss and debate all of the latest news and games from both Xbox and PlayStation. Thankfully, the feedback was positive, and so this week, we'd like to introduce you to the very first episode of the TGN podcast!

| TrueAchievements Episode 36 | 26 Aug 2016 | 00:37:42 | |
After an extremely busy week at Gamescom filled with great games, amazing people and most likely too many beers, the TA Podcast crew are back in familiar surrounding to record episode 36. | |||
| TrueAchievements Gamescom 2016 Special Part 3 | 20 Aug 2016 | 00:42:09 | |
Guten tag podcast listeners. Yesterday was our last day at Gamescom 2016, and we once again had a full calendar of hands-on gameplay and presentations to attend. | |||
| TrueAchievements Gamescom 2016 Special Part 2 | 18 Aug 2016 | 00:36:52 | |
It's past midnight local time and our feet our extremely sore from walking over 30,000 steps, but we've remained true to our word and are back for round two of our Gamescom 2016 podcast. | |||
| TrueAchievements Gamescom 2016 Special | 17 Aug 2016 | 00:29:03 | |
It's that time of the year again! The TA podcast crew are in Cologne, and after a busy day of gaming and lots of walking we sat down over a nice cold bottle of Kölsch to record our a special edition of the TA Podcast. | |||
| TrueAchievements Episode 35 | 12 Aug 2016 | 00:45:43 | |

Jack is away this week, so we enlisted the help of Newshound Assistant Manager, Tom Clancy's The Division master and fellow northerner Dat Boi Treezy to take his place. If you enjoy listening to our podcast, please subscribe in iTunes, give us a good rating and leave a nice review. | |||

The UK is currently basking in the one week of sunshine that we have during the summer, but despite that we've closed the office windows and endured the uncomfortably hot conditions to record our record breaking (according to Rich) fourth podcast of the month. | |||
| TrueAchievements Episode 31 | 15 Jul 2016 | 00:38:08 | |
Time was our enemy this week. Rich and Jack were both busy working on new site developments until late in the afternoon, and then my children turned my normally short walk from school into a 15 minute hunt for Pokemon, but as promised, we still put aside some time to record this week's show! That's three for three in July, C'mon! | |||
| TrueAchievements Episode 30 | 08 Jul 2016 | 00:42:59 | |
As mentioned by Rich on last week's show, the TA Podcast is now being recorded weekly! For you, the listener, it means you get at least twice the number of shows per month, and for us it means we can talk about more time sensitive news items and also forces us to actually play some games. | |||
| 139: Forza Horizon 4, Telltale Layoffs, Fortnite Cross-Play and More | 28 Sep 2018 | 01:12:57 | |
Welcome to episode 139 of the TrueAchievements podcast. Before we get into what we've covered on this week's show, we'd like to thank all of you that took the time to provide some feedback on the format of the show. The general consensus was that reading out long lists of new achievements and new releases were boring a low point, so we've made some changes this week to only discuss the bigger games and the ones that really interest us. We've also been swapping around some ideas internally, and one of the suggestions we thought might be worth exploring is switching from a solely TA focussed podcast to a TGN podcast, where we can discuss and debate all of the latest news and games from both Xbox and PlayStation. Of course, that would mean we'd mostly be covering the same things we normally would be as most of the big games are multi-platform, with the odd discussion around some PS4 exclusives thrown in for good measure. If you have any thoughts (both pros and cons) on this idea, please let us know in the comments below.With all that out of the way, let's get back to this week's episode. On this week's show, we give you the chance to win an Xbox One download code of your choosing from our giveaway sack (leave us a comment in the thread below to enter), we give you our impressions on Forza Horizon 4, we chat about last week's surprising news that Telltale have laid off the vast majority of its workforce, we cover all of the big announcements from the latest Inside Xbox stream, and Jack and Ollie dig holes in Construction Simulator 2. We also discuss the rest of this week's biggest news announcements, take a look at what we've been playing over the past seven days, chat about our ID@Xbox streams, look at the games coming our way over the next seven days, and answer your questions, including the question of the week.
