Where The XB2 — An Xbox & Gaming Podcast ranks today in each Apple Podcasts chart (US, Sep 14, 2026).
A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
Not only do they cover the most relevant topics but there’s really a strategic bent to it, giving you insider institutional knowledge regarding how Microsoft and Xbox brass tend to think and act in this wildly lucrative but at times volatile business. Not only that they’ll discuss what games they’re playing or what’s good, what’s coming out. It really gives a unique view into the business of Xbox gaming and the love of gaming overall. Was looking for a podcast just like this and listened to a few before thing this one and have been listening faithfully ever since.
Pass the Mayo!
I swear by it · Mar 2024
This show continues to blow me away. Not only is it the best Xbox podcast but is quickly becoming if not has already become the best gaming podcast out there. Rand and Jez are such humble individuals and they continue to hit new heights with interviewing industry veterans and having such respect for all gamers and developers. This show is such an amazing listen each week and I recommend adding it to your weekly listen.

I’ve been listening to this Podcast since 2017. These guys do a great job of discussing XBOX centric and general gaming news and content. I can’t always listen live, so I really appreciate the podcasting services. Rand and Jez are great, thank you for the years of great content.

Xbox Two is in my top 3 podcasts that I look forward to weekly.
Love the long episodes that I can listen to in several sessions since being busy between work and a new baby.
Great show, fun guys, good banter, and of course Xbox game talk!
Keep it up boys!

The commercials are louder than the podcast audio, which completely ruins the listening experience
