Hey guys,

Due to some technical problems, there won't be a new episode of Power Up And Game uploaded today. Instead, we plan to do one big show on Friday to make up for it.

We hope you'll join us as we get into a ton of news including People Can Fly joining Gears of War: E-Day as a co-developer, Phil Spencer's recent comments about Xbox hardware, at least one-third of AAA games not abandoning the live service strategy, and a whole lot more.

In the meantime, check out our latest episode (attached to this post) where we gushed about the Xbox Developer Direct.

We've had a noticeable uptick in listeners and downloads since the beginning of the year. We're tremendously grateful for that. Thanks to anyone for listening and we'll be back on Friday night!
