For the first time ever, PlayStation is publishing one of its own games on Xbox. The new port comes in the form of 2024's smash-hit multiplayer game Helldivers 2 from second party studio Arrowhead, and though Sony has a long-but-silent history of bringing games to other consoles -- there was a Wipeout game on N64, after all, and the likes of Death Stranding and MLB: The Show have already migrated to Xbox via intermediaries -- never before have they acted as publisher. Is this a one-off, or a move that could signify a new strategy? Will Xbox players conditioned to Game Pass put their money where their mouth is? Are single-player exclusives next? Then: Neil Druckmann announces he's done with The Last of Us on HBO, instead turning his full attention back to Naughty Dog, while it sure does sound like Sony-owned team Firesprite is openly hiring for a PlayStation 6 project. After some other news, we get into what we're playing before ending the show as we always do, with six questions, comments, concerns, thoughts, and ideas from our audience. What are our ruminations concerning Xbox's recent layoffs and cancellations? Will the PS5 era be looked back upon as a generation of wasted potential? How do we feel about the Stop Killing Games initiative in Europe? Are some listeners intentionally exposing their wives to Sacred Symbols in order to facilitate a divorce?

Microsoft's latest round of layoffs hits Xbox Gaming hard as the company cuts approximately 9,000 jobs despite record profits. This week, Paul Thurrott and Richard Campbell discuss the impact of these layoffs, Windows 11's new version naming, Microsoft Copilot coming to Mac, and dive deep into passkey security. LAYOFFS As expected, Microsoft began a massive round of layoffs across Xbox/Microsoft Gaming on Wednesday. The fiscal year started on Tuesday. These were originally going to happen a week or two earlier. 9,000 employees impacted across Microsoft - about 4 percent of workforce, Xbox/MSGaming was NOT hit hardest, Microsoft now says (on top of 6,000 in May). 10 percent of King being laid off. Carefully worded email from Phil Spencer requires some parsing. It's Finally Official: 25H2 Is Next! Microsoft finally admits that the Dev channel is testing Windows 11 version 25H2, which will arrive, as expected, around October This news came as part of another set of commingled Dev and Beta channel builds. 25H2 will be delivered as an enablement package, so it's a minor release technically. Dev and Beta are linked because 25H2 and 24H2 are linked: Each will get the same features, as started with 22H2/23H2 in late 2023. Windows 11 Last week was Week D, but we didn't get preview updates per usual before WW That finally happened last Thursday - new preview updates for 24H2 and 23H2/22H2 24H2: Click to Do improvements, start of PC migration in Windows Backup, small icons in Taskbar, more. Windows Insider Preview: Those Dev/Beta builds noted above have the first implementation of third-party passkey. Microsoft Edge 138 is a pretty big update, with AI-enhanced history search and Copilot integration into the search box and new tab page. AI Microsoft 365 Copilot is available on the Mac. Apple may cave and adopt Anthropic Claude and/or OpenAI ChatGPT for Apple Intelligence. After Coda's acquisition and $1 billion in funding, Grammarly acquires Superhuman to build an "AI-native" productivity suite that will take on Big Tech (Microsoft, Google) and Little Tech (Notion, Proton) alike. Xbox and Gaming Xbox 360 dashboard is getting its first update in years. Halo Studios teases an October tease of the next Halo from the studio. New Game Pass titles for the first half of July - plus, COD: WWII turns up in Game Pass for the first time. Cursor sort of comes to the web and mobile - like Adobe Firefly on mobile, but for devs when "the mood strikes". Tips and Picks Tip/App picks of the week: Cure Mac envy. The Mac is about to get even prettier. But Windows 11 can rise to this challenge. The PC matters: Paul recommends Surface Laptop 7 as a MacBook Air alternative. Software? It's all free. Full screen apps: Hide the Taskbar and touchpad gestures - also, use DS Clock if you need to see the time. Transparent system menu? You can make the Taskbar transparent too. Want Spotlight? No problem, we have Command Palette (an updated, more extensible PowerToys Run) in PowerToys. Bonus app pick: Inoreader for RSS feeds (and read later if you want).

It was supposed to be a slow news week, so naturally we talked for almost four hours on the latest in gaming. Heading up our show is a recurrent subject: layoffs at Xbox. Despite Phil's claims about a sustainable business, the cuts keep coming. Of course, that leaves us in a bit of a pickle. What parts of Xbox business are faltering? We're about a year removed from last year where Xbox began shutting down multiple teams, so it's not a far cry to say we may be approaching that point. We haven't seen Game Pass numbers in a hot minute, titles like South Of Midnight and Hellblade 2 have questionable sales at best, and the green team is all but officially confirmed to be out on physical games. So, which is it, if any? We gab quite a bit before leaving it to next week where we'll get official confirmation. Plus, Xbox integrating other PC storefronts into their app, righting the record on Final Fantasy XVI, diving into Lies Of P sales figures, and so much more in what was an unexpectedly meaty (oh!) episode of Defining Duke.

In this episode of the Day One Patch Podcast, we dive into some major Xbox news as Microsoft begins rolling out an aggregated PC game library, letting players launch titles from Xbox, Game Pass, Battle.net, and more—all from within the Xbox app. We also check out the newly announced Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition, a sleek VR bundle built with Xbox fans in mind. Then, in true Kojima fashion, we discuss why the legendary developer rewrote parts of Death Stranding 2 because playtesters were enjoying it too much. Plus, this week's Gaming Fun Fact covers the unique case of 007: Nightfire—a game with a surprisingly different PC version than its console counterparts.

TEXT US YOUR THOUGHTS!In this episode, Vance, Jamie and Tony break down how Clair Obscur totally blew us away with it's tight and addictive gameplay, epic story and one of the best soundtracks ever created for a video game. Support the show https://discord.gg/3yfGt9gahB
n this episode of Game Pass or Pass, we put on the gear and hit the streets with two procedural-heavy sims: Firefighting Simulator: The Squad and Police Simulator: Patrol Officers — both from the same publisher, both promising realism and co-op-friendly gameplay.But what we found was... odd. These games aim for authenticity, but somehow miss the mark in both realism and gameplay depth. They're not exactly arcade, not exactly sim — just somewhere in between.We break down:The moment-to-moment gameplay and why it can feel more like following a checklist than fighting fires or solving crimesThe inconsistent tone — realistic job settings mixed with strange AI, clunky animations, and mechanics that don't quite reflect real-world proceduresWhether there's enough content and progression to keep players engaged past the first few missionsHow they compare to other Game Pass co-op or sim-style titlesAre these chill, low-stakes co-op options worth a download — or do they fall flat trying to simulate something they don't fully commit to?
Let's start with a funny story about a kid and a video game character. Then a bit about Foamstars, the changing nature of music discovery via memes and platforms like TikTok, Hideo Kojima's comments on Death Stranding 2 being “too good” and altered to be less mainstream, Microsoft's strategic moves with Xbox to create a unified gaming platform that includes Game Pass, Steam, and other services, and speculation on the future of PlayStation and PC gaming.

With Bend Studio laying off 30% of its staff as it gears up to enter a lengthy pre-production stage, it's clear their next release (should it ever materialize) will be on PlayStation 6. This is just the most recent example in a lengthening string of Sony absolutely botching its first party initiative, deploying teams on projects that make no sense, purchasing studios that have never even released a game, and complicating a service game strategy that -- at least on paper -- made a lot of sense. Where does the buck stop, exactly? And how lucky is Sony and the PlayStation brand that they've been able to coast almost entirely on external content and commercial inertia all the while? Plus: MindsEye is a complete disaster, Stellar Blade becomes PlayStation Publishing's most-played single-player PC port, Capcom and Konami reveal Resident Evil Requiem and Silent Hill Remake respectively, the Outer Worlds 2's $80 price point infuriates some, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is somehow coming to PlayStation 4, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! When Colin talks about a hypothetical AAA Mega Man game, what exactly is he envisioning? Why did Microsoft include the PS5 logo so readily during its showcase? Will GameStop ever stop selling opened games as new?

Rip and tear… but this time with a flail and shield.In this episode of Game Pass or Pass, we break down everything we know so far about DOOM: The Dark Ages, the next brutal entry in id Software's iconic franchise — and it's unlike anything we've seen before.Set in a dark medieval world, this prequel to 2016's DOOM reinvents the Slayer as a knight-like figure, battling demonic hordes with brutal melee weapons, heavy siege-inspired firearms, and a rideable cybernetic dragon.We cover:Gameplay evolution: How id is blending high-speed FPS mechanics with grounded, gritty close-quarters combat — and what that means for longtime fansNew weapons: Including the shield-saw (think Captain America meets chainsaw) and a bone-shattering flail built for crowd control and brutalitySetting and tone: A complete shift from sci-fi Mars to a gothic, hell-torn kingdom that feels part Dark Souls, part DOOM EternalThe Dragon: Yes, the Slayer rides a biomechanical dragon into battleDesign philosophy: Why id says this is their most cinematic, story-rich DOOM yet, without sacrificing speed or savagery

Hello one and all, and welcome back to another episode of Mooglecast! With holiday trips, and schedules being all over the place we have yet another episode for you all where the normally scheduled hosts get shuffled up a bit. This month on Mooglecast Zac is joined by none other than Colin Kolhoven, from Trophy Talk and Surviving the Horror, to discuss a topic that doesn't get enough love in our community, Xbox. Both Zac and Colin have a long history with the ecosystem and consoles, dating back to the original Xbox released on November 15th 2001. It's here that our discussion begins, with the first Xbox console, why we were (or weren't) drawn to it, and what came next. For many trophy hunters, the notion of chasing digital completion lists came with the advent of Xbox 360 in 2005. Xbox for all intents and purposes introduced the world to the notion of "completing" games with achievements that offered in game challenges, a cumulative point system, and a way to brag to your friends and online communities. It seems so strange then that Xbox, which started out it's first two generations so strongly with behemoths like Halo, Gears of War, Morrowind, and Fable, quickly fell from grace in the Xbox One era, and into the early portions of the current gen. As of late though that story has started to change. With multiple massive acquisitions over recent years, Xbox has started to hit it's cadence with regular AAA releases and a plethora of new offerings constantly coming to Game Pass. In essence then, Zac and Colin do their best here to discuss the past, the present, and the future of what Xbox may hold in store. Does its alternate ecosystem to PlayStation perhaps offer a welcome reprieve from constant trophy hunting, and a glimpse into a way that we used to all enjoy games? Maybe so. For context on the current state of Xbox and the future, the boys also go over some of their favorite announcements from the recent Xbox showcase in June of 2025 comparing that shows style and substance with the most recent Sony State of Play. Lastly, as with any Mooglecast episode you can expect updates on The Record, Platinum Shout outs, and a meaty section centering on what we've been playing. We hope that you enjoy the show. Thank you for listening, and be excelling to one another!
