Today, Xbox has launched its new Beyond Xbox: Field Trips scheme; educational podcasts aimed at teaching kids soft skills and based on popular Game Pass titles.
These podcasts, launching at 3pm on Spotify, aim to teach children the soft skills like problem solving, team building, communication, and analytical thinking. The games these podcasts will be based on include Minecraft, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Sea of Thieves, Grounded, PowerWash Simulator, Age of Empires 4, and Cities: Skylines. There will be seven games the podcasts take inspiration from in total.
Grounded will teach kids about problem solving and analytical thinking, while Minecraft will give lessons on creativity and innovation. PowerWash Simulator will help kids learn about motivation and prioritisation, and Age of Empires 4 will impart words of wisdom on strategy and decision making.
Sea of Thieves will get kids stuck into teamwork and delegation, Flight Simulator will be used to train focus and diligence, and Cities: Skylines will teach kids about planning and adaptability.
