AIRED FIRST ON PATREON: December 23, 2024.

With Rand unavailable, this month's XB2+1 ended up being an XB2+1-1+2 as Jon from XboxERA and Luke from Xbox Expansion Pass jumped in to recap this year in Xbox land.

We talk Xbox OEM hardware rumors, Xbox's "This is an Xbox" push, sprinkle in some rumors, and wrap up 2025 in a nice shiny red bow.
