The Xbox Series X and S launches are nearing closer, so we thought it would be a good time to catch up on where everything is at ahead of their release at the start of November. Pocket-lint's senior news editor Rik discusses everything you need to know to be prepared, including revealing what's actually in the box.


Keeping with the gaming theme, Stuart also talks to app game developer State of Play about the company's latest game, South of the Circle - which is exclusively available on Apple Arcade. The founders of the studio explain about the trials and tribulations of making the title, and how it even meant having to go Antarctica as part of the process. 


And finally, reviews editor Mike reviews the Porsche Taycan Turbo S - the new £150,000 electric sports car. 


01:19 - Rik talks Xbox Series X and Series S
