Welcome to Checkpoint. The show where we stop to break down all the biggest Xbox/PC gaming news stories of the week so far. In this episode, we dive into the latest details regarding the big refresh of PlayStation Plus, whether or not Sony's new subscription offerings are a proper answer to Xbox Game Pass, Games with Gold for April 2022, an Xbox Game Pass "Family Plan," and so much more!
What is CHECKPOINT?
Our goal with CHECKPOINT is to deliver a quick and convenient way for our audience to digest Xbox news each and every week. We view this as a hybrid format that combines our favorite elements of standard news recaps with added editorial opinions and conversations from myself and my co-host, Jez Corden. The current target length for a standard episode is 15-20 minutes. As we already deliver a weekly gaming podcast called Xbox Chaturdays, we want to ensure that CHECKPOINT serves as a more digestible standalone video series on the Windows Central Gaming channel.
