In this episode, we're unpacking a whirlwind of gaming news that's got the industry buzzing. Kicking things off, reports are swirling that Microsoft's got big plans for Xbox: a full next-gen console is reportedly slated for 2027, promising a major leap forward, while an Xbox-branded gaming handheld could hit shelves as early as later this year—2025 is shaping up to be a wild ride for Team Green. Meanwhile, indie darling Split Fiction is making waves, smashing a major sales milestone in just 48 hours, proving there's serious appetite for fresh titles. Over at Sony, they're dabbling in AI-powered PlayStation characters and, in a twist of irony, picked Horizon's Aloy as their guinea pig—smart move or uncanny valley vibes? We'll dig into that. The headlines keep coming with Moon Studios, the creative force behind the beloved Ori series, announcing they're now fully independent. They've wrested publishing rights for their latest dark fantasy epic, No Rest for the Wicked, from Take-Two Interactive—yep, the Grand Theft Auto and Borderlands giant—marking a bold new chapter for the studio. On the leak front, early Battlefield 6 footage has apparently surfaced online, and it's looking like a win for EA, with fans already hyped for what's next. We'll also share our raw impressions of the Death Stranding 2 trailer—Kojima's back, and it's as weird and wonderful as ever.

In this episode, we dive into some exciting gaming and tech highlights making waves this week.

Meanwhile, Nintendo's touting a major legal win against piracy, labeling it a "significant" victory that reverberates across the entire games industry. On the platform front, Steam continues its dominance, shattering records by topping 40 million concurrent players for the first time—an impressive milestone for the PC gaming giant.
