Extraction shooters are finally confronting their identity crisis. Is Marathon the answer, or just another branch of the same lineage?Phil, Sides, and Anjos break down a pivotal moment for shooters: Highguard's collapse, Marathon's high-stakes launch, and Overwatch's unexpected resurgence. The debate rage on: are we watching the evolution of battle royale into something more persistent, or just another iteration of Tarkov's legacy?We discuss:● Highguard's shutdown and the limits of modern marketing○ Hate-playing, sentiment collapse, and losing control of narrative post-launch● Marathon's design thesis○ Persistent battle royale vs traditional extraction shooter lineage○ Lower friction loops, faster re-entry, and softened risk systems● The genre split○ Arc Raiders as first-principles PvE extraction○ Marathon as PvP-first with extraction layered on top● The missing innovation question○ What is Marathon's true “Bungie leap” beyond sandbox combat + loot?● Overwatch's resurgence○ Systems-driven live ops vs content arms race with Marvel Rivals● The future of shooter ecosystems○ Extraction, hero shooters, and the erosion of “black hole” games

Is Bungie cooked? Destiny 2 lost 97% of its players -- Bungie basically bailed on the game to go all-in on Marathon and the numbers are catastrophic. Since The Final Shape dropped almost two years ago, player count has tanked 97% with Steam barely hitting 10k concurrent -- yeah the live service king is now a ghost town while the devs chase their new extraction shooter and leave endless content droughts behind.

Xbox may have just signaled the future of its next generation hardware. At GDC this week Microsoft confirmed Project Helix, a next-generation Xbox initiative built around a custom AMD chip and designed to support both console and PC gaming. But what exactly is Helix — a traditional console successor or something closer to a living-room gaming PC? This week on Xbox Expansion Pass, Luke Lohr (InsipidGhost) and Captain Logun break down everything currently confirmed about Project Helix and what it could mean for the future of the Xbox ecosystem. We also analyze the early player numbers behind Bungie's Marathon, including Steam concurrency and early ownership estimates, and discuss whether the launch trajectory raises questions for Sony's live-service strategy. Plus, Epic Games is changing Fortnite's V-Bucks economy, meaning players will soon receive fewer V-Bucks for the same money. Additional topics include Xbox Gaming Copilot coming to consoles, a major milestone for Silent Hill 2 Remake, and several notable announcements coming out of GDC 2026.

Tonight's topics:- Xbox Helix details- Xbox quietly retires “this is an Xbox” campaign- Steam Machine verified games target 1080 @ 60fps- Ex-Blizzard head says Sony is scared of Steam Machine- Overwatch criticizes Marathon player count watchers- Bungie cancels Marathon GDC panels- EA lays off Battlefield 6 devs- Digital Foundry details Crimson Desert on PS5 ProThanks as always to Shawn Daley for our intro and outro music.

En este nuevo episodio de Weekly Quest Extra, abrimos el backlog y repasamos algunos de los juegos que estuvimos probando durante la semana. Entre novedades, regresos esperados y alguna que otra sorpresa, la charla pasa por tres títulos bastante distintos entre sí.Arrancamos con Pokémon Pokopia, uno de los nuevos spin-offs dentro del universo de Pokémon, donde analizamos qué propone este experimento dentro de una franquicia que históricamente usó los juegos paralelos como espacio para probar ideas diferentes.Después subimos a la torre con Slay the Spire 2, la secuela del influyente roguelike de cartas creado por Mega Crit. Charlamos sobre cómo se siente volver a la Spire, qué cambios trae esta nueva versión y por qué el primer juego se convirtió en uno de los referentes del género deckbuilder.Por último volvemos sobre Marathon, el nuevo proyecto multijugador de Bungie, que reinventa la clásica IP del estudio como un extraction shooter competitivo. Ya comentamos primeras impresiones, pero siendo un juego como servicio, vamos a hacerle el seguimiento que merece.Un episodio bien variado: cartas, criaturas y shooters futuristas, todo en una misma conversación.

Comic book creator (and Geekscape friend) Steven Prince returns to the guest chair to talk about his new book 'Mercy in Prison'! Along the way, the 'Monster Matador' creator will talk about making indie comics, the new 'Lanterns' trailer, Gore Verbinski's 'Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die!', and more. Geekscape's Shane O'Hare from Dynamic Resolution joins in on the fun to tell us about Bungie's new version of 'Marathon' and its predictable community response!

We here at Good Enough Gaming are always wondering what happens in board room meetings at these large companies and how certain decisions are made. The ongoing conclusions are that these people should include us in their meetings so that they might make some decisions that actually benefit gamers and consumers and not just the investors. But before we get on a huge rant about corporate greed, lets discuss what this is really about, and that is the rise of another extraction shooter game coming from the esteemed Bungie studios in Marathon. Will this game meet expectations and thrive, or is this another game that will succumb to the demise if others like it competing for a market that might not accept it at all. This should get explosive, a little soapboxy, and probably full of us making fun of certain games that have flopped horribly in the last few years. Welcome to the sh*tshow!

Episode Summary: While the team is away at GDC in San Francisco, we're bringing you a deep-dive encore of one of our most provocative conversations. Greg and Colan sit down to dissect the mounting pressure from the U.S. government on Tencent to divest its massive stakes in Riot Games, Supercell, and Epic Games. We explore the reality of data privacy in the modern age, the "cultural war" of gaming IP, and whether the West is prepared to compete with the sheer output of Chinese development.In This Episode, We Discuss:The CFIUS Investigation: Why the U.S. government is increasingly wary of Tencent's influence over American gamer data.The "Privacy Myth": Colan breaks down the sobering reality of how our data is already bought, sold, and modeled in the ad-tech ecosystem.The Rise of Chinese IP: How games like Genshin Impact and Marvel Rivals are shifting the balance of global gaming power.Bungie's Marathon: Our initial impressions of the "grimy" extraction shooter and why Bungie is pivoting away from its "simplified" gameplay roots.Sony vs. Steam: Analyzing Sony's recent decision to slow down PC releases and the long-term threat of the Steam Deck and SteamOS.The Lego Takeover: A lighter look at the massive world of Lego-gaming crossovers and why your favorite IPs are being "blocked".Featured Links:Join the conversation on our Discord: playerdriven.ioFollow Colan's Newsletter: Patch Notes on Substack

What happens when a legendary horror franchise finds its footing by looking backward? This week, we dive into Resident Evil Requiem, exploring why its tight, 10-hour dual-protagonist campaign is a masterclass in modern survival horror—and a perfect fit for gamers with a busy schedule. We also strap on our hover-skates for a review of High on Life 2, discussing how Squanch Games is navigating its new era and whether the controversial new traversal mechanics help or hinder the "Big Pharma" satire. Then, we shift gears to the extraction shooter wars. We share our hands-on impressions from the Marathon Server Slam, questioning if Bungie's bold, neon-soaked UI is a work of art or a usability nightmare compared to the more grounded Arc Raiders. Finally, we trace the 8-year secret history of Valve's Deadlock—from its "Neon Prime" sci-fi roots to its current status as a Steam chart-topper—and explain why this MOBA-shooter hybrid is poised to dominate the industry in 2026.

This week on The Gaming Duo, Bungie's long-awaited extraction shooter Marathon has officially launched — and the internet already has strong opinions. We break down our first impressions of the gameplay, the day-one player numbers, and the microtransaction controversy that had the community up in arms. More importantly, Bungie responded within days with changes and fixes. Is that a good sign for the game's future, or is Marathon already fighting an uphill battle in a post-Concord world?Then we shift to a massive industry shake-up: Xbox has officially confirmed its next-gen console, Project Helix. The big twist? It reportedly runs Windows, supports Steam and other PC storefronts, and may blur the line between console and gaming PC entirely. Is this the bold reinvention Xbox needs, or proof that the traditional console model is changing?We also discuss:Whether Marathon's launch numbers are actually strongIf the extraction shooter market can support multiple big gamesWhat a Windows-powered Xbox means for the future of consolesEarly price predictions and concerns for Project HelixAll that plus our weekly gaming segment.

This week we take a look at Daisy Ridley in We Bury the Dead. Ascully also discusses the new Bungie game Marathon.

This week on Xbox Expansion Pass, Luke Lohr (InsipidGhost) and Captain Logun examine one of the most interesting weeks in the gaming industry. Xbox has revealed the codename for its next generation hardware — Project Helix — a console designed to bridge the gap between Xbox and PC gaming ecosystems. At the same time, reporting from Bloomberg's Jason Schreier suggests that PlayStation may be reconsidering its strategy of bringing major single-player games to PC, potentially returning to a stronger focus on console exclusivity. We also discuss the launch of Bungie's Marathon, one of Sony's most important live-service releases following the company's $3.6 billion acquisition of Bungie. Topics include: • What Project Helix could mean for Xbox's future • Whether Xbox is building a console-PC hybrid • Sony's possible shift away from PC releases • The launch and early reactions to Marathon • The evolving battle between console exclusivity and platform ecosystems  

This week on GameBurst, the team unpacks a turbulent few days for the games industry. Sony has reportedly reversed its strategy of simultaneous PC and console releases, returning first-party titles to a period of PlayStation exclusivity — a significant shift that analysts believe is designed to shore up the platform's appeal ahead of its next hardware cycle. In sadder news, Eurogamer faces a second round of layoffs under IGN parent company Ziff Davis, with senior editors, its video team, and staff behind the popular Outside Xbox YouTube channel among those affected. Meanwhile, Bungie has launched its long-awaited extraction shooter Marathon, pledging to avoid pay-to-win mechanics and "FOMO-inducing" battle passes as it bets heavily on a live-service future. Summer Game Fest 2026 has confirmed its return in June, bringing with it the revived industry event The Game Business Live — and with GTA 6 looming on the horizon, expectations are running high. Finally, in a remarkable piece of gaming history, the US National Videogame Museum has acquired the fabled Nintendo PlayStation prototype, the failed Sony-Nintendo collaboration that inadvertently gave birth to the PlayStation brand. In this week's Picks of the Week, Gary champions the Anglo-Saxon board game Bretwalda, Jerome highlights the indie PC title Sector Unknown and a theatrical wildcard in Phil Porter's BLINK at the King's Head Theatre, while Taylor turns their attention to the Nintendo Switch 2. #gameburst

Gotta 'cast 'em all! First, Ben, Matt James, and Steve Ahlman form a fireteam to discuss Bungie's long-awaited extraction shooter ‘Marathon.' They forecast whether it'll fare more like hit ‘ARC Raiders' or flop ‘Highguard,' examine the stakes for Sony's big bets on Bungie and live-service games, and react to a possible revival of the PlayStation/Xbox console wars, followed by a “Rage Quit” rant about the backlash to promotional photos for video game adaptations such as ‘God of War.' Then Ben brings on Charles Pulliam-Moore from The Verge to discuss the delights of Pokémon life-sim spinoff ‘Pokopia,' its significance for Switch 2, and the Pokémon franchise's 30th anniversary, evolution, and future, plus a second “Rage Quit” about the Trump administration coopting video games like ‘Pokopia' to make memes.

In today's Daily Fix:The KOTOR Remake devs have given an update on the progress of the game, but don't expect much. Saber Interactive have told IGN that, yes, the game is still in development. That's it. In other news, Slay the Spire 2 launched into Early Access this week and it absolutely crushed fellow new game Marathon with almost 5 times as many concurrent players on Steam. Marathon, the new multiplayer shooter from Bungie, has been in development for quite some time, and is a reboot of sorts for Bungie's IP from the 90's. And finally, Nintendo has announced a new Nintendo Direct, but this one solely focusing on the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy Movie. You can catch it this Monday at 2pm ET/11am PT.

On this solo episode of PS This is Awesome!, Jake holds down the fort while recovering from a hockey-related concussion — because nothing says dedication like recording through a head injury (don't worry, he's taking it easy).He kicks things off with a quick health update before diving into what he's currently playing, sharing impressions and early thoughts on the games keeping him busy while he's sidelined from the rink.From there, Jake breaks down some major industry news: the reported closure of Bluepoint Games and why the silence from Sony has fans speculating. He also covers Bungie stepping up enforcement and issuing bans to cheaters, discussing the ongoing fight to keep online play fair.On the Marvel front, Jake talks about the anticipated release date for Marvel's Wolverine. He also dives into some creator commentary on the infamous “Chicken Man” from the upcoming Project Windless.The God of War universe gets plenty of love this episode, too. Jake reacts to a new screenshot from the upcoming God of War TV adaptation and discusses reports that Santa Monica Studio is developing a brand-new game set in the God of War universe.Visit www.patreon.com/psthisisawesome to support the show and help us continue producing the content you love!Please, if you enjoyed the content — or even if you didn't quite enjoy this one — come back.

Starting with Wildlight's HighGuard, which drew heavy criticism for inconsistent art direction, weak gameplay choices, lack of public playtesting, poor performance, and rapidly shrinking player counts, leading to major layoffs and a much smaller remaining team. We argue modern live-service shooters face intense competition and need earlier public feedback, noting broader post-COVID overfunding has produced many failed projects and layoffs, alongside debate over what “indie” means amid publisher funding like Tencent. They compare Eastern and Western development strengths, then review Bungie's Marathon playtest (strong gunfeel, UI/readability issues, clearer art direction improvements) and its competition with Arc Raiders. We close on Xbox leadership changes, the viability of consoles vs software-first strategies, exclusives, and industry uncertainty.Connect with us:•

Marathon ist Bungies letzte Chance: Nach den Problemen der letzten Jahr müssen die Destiny- und ehemaligen Halo-Macher mit ihrem neuen Extraction-Shooter punkten - sonst dürfte Studiobesitzer Sony bald die Reißleine ziehen. Und nun die Überraschung: Beim Server Slam zu Marathon zeigt sich, dass die Enttäuschung und Kritik im Vorfeld zumindest verfrüht war: 143.000 Spieler stürzten sich in die Testphase, das ist zumindest ein Achtungserfolg. Im Talk diskutieren Paul und Felix über Marathons und Bungies Zukunftschancen. Alle Links zum GameStar Podcast und unseren Werbepartnern: https://linktr.ee/gamestarpodcast

-The US Department of Defense has reportedly reached a deal to use Elon Musk's Grok in its classified systems. That's according to a report by Axios. That follows news that the Pentagon is currently in a dispute with another AI company, Anthropic, over limits on its technology for things like mass surveillance. -Anthropic is issuing a call to action against AI "distillation attacks," after accusing three AI companies of misusing its Claude chatbot. On its website, Anthropic claimed that DeepSeek, Moonshot and MiniMax have been conducting "industrial-scale campaigns…to illicitly extract Claude's capabilities to improve their own models." -Bungie isn't taking any prisoners when it comes to cheating on its upcoming extraction shooter, Marathon.
