GTA 6 preorders are here, but Rockstar's physical edition is already stirring controversy with no disc in the box. We dig into the $80 price point, whether GTA 6 changes the ceiling for AAA games, and what this means for physical collectors.
Then we get into a rough week for Xbox: Call of Duty leaving day-one Game Pass, major Xbox Series X|S price increases, and reports that Microsoft may be looking to sell, spin out, or shut down studios like Ninja Theory, Double Fine, Undead Labs, Compulsion, and Arkane Lyon.
We also talk LEGO Batman, Stalker 2, Mixtape, 007, short platinum trophies, and our top games of the year so far. Join us!
New episodes post every other Wednesday at 12PM CST/10AM PST!
