23: Xbox + Bethesda = Game Pass?

In this week's episode we will cover a bunch of gaming news as well as consoles and hardware. Next week we have AMD's 6700 XT drop. Will there be enough stock? Maybe there will be. It looks like AMD is finally able to almost keep up with 5600x and 5800x CPUs so that is good news.

Of course the huge deal this week is the finalizing of the Xbox purchase of Bethesda. They had a roundtable on YouTube and lots of press was written. Why are they being so awkward about saying that Bethesda games will likely be exclusives now? Why are they talking so much about Game Pass?
