It is the start of the spooky season and we have some scary news to share with all of you...
Welcome to the squad, new Xbox Playdate ZA hosts!
We’re growing the crew and couldn’t be more excited to introduce the newest faces joining the Playdate crew.
NinjaPancake — the reliable fill-in and gap-closer. When a host can’t make it or we need extra coverage, NinjaPancake steps up. Versatile, ready, and always happy to jump in ensuring we never miss a playdate.
NightfoxZA — the all-rounder. FPS grinder, Forza driver, and Fallout wanderer. Whether it’s clutching a 1v3, drifting the Horizon festival, or scavenging the wasteland, Nightfox brings the energy and the game knowledge.
BeardedZA — our resident car enthusiast. Expect Forza sessions that turn into garage talk, engine debates, and the occasional “just one more lap” that lasts two hours. If it has wheels (or horsepower), he’s the guy.
