Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

Xplay is an American television program dedicated to video games, blending in-depth reviews and industry news, which primarily aired from 1998 to 2013 across two networks. Originally launched as GameSpot TV on ZDTV (later rebranded as TechTV), the program premiered on July 4, 1998, and featured hosts Adam Sessler, Lauren Fielder, and John Villarreal, focusing on gameplay previews and critiques. In 2001, following the end of its partnership with Ziff Davis' GameSpot and TechTV's rebranding, the program adopted the name Extended Play before settling on X-Play in 2003. Sessler continued as the lead host, joined by co-hosts Kate Botello (2000–2002) and Morgan Webb (2003–2013). The series moved to G4 in 2004 after Comcast's acquisition and merger of TechTV with the gaming-focused network, where it ran until its conclusion in 2013 amid G4's rebranding efforts. The program's original incarnation ran for 1,378 episodes, and was praised by critics for its accessibility, entertaining presentation, host chemistry and personalities, and ability to provide engaging yet digestible coverage of the video game industry. It briefly revived in 2021 on a rebooted G4 network, with returning host Sessler and co-hosts Froskurinn, The Completionist, and The Black Hokage, but the network shut down less than a year later in October 2022 due to low viewership.
