Podcasts about new games

It's Friday and we are back to to tackle two major industry deep-dives, but not before touching base on Microsoft and EA, comparing BBC quotes  and teasing a Patreon-exclusive story about a spectacularly failed kosher salt business. First up, Shams and Fernando unpacks Joakim Achren's newsletter breakdown (link here) on the "Six Reasons VCs Pulled Back from Games," examining why early-stage bets and public game studio IPOs are falling flat. Paired with insights from Thomas Bidaux's ICO Partners newsletter, which recently tracked an all-time record number of Steam releases, they further explore why standing out is harder than ever. Next up, it's time to dissect Matthew Ball's massive, "doorstop" state-of-the-industry deck "The State of Video Gaming in 2026" (link here). Ball's data reveals a sobering picture: actual growth is heavily carried by Roblox and subscriptions, overall gamer numbers might be shrinking due to screen fatigue, and median players are sticking to forever-games rather than buying new titles. And of course this is just the tip of the iceberg in Ball´s presentation. Thanks for listening! Shams quoted in BBC Ico Partners Newsletter Almost Ready Games Fund That page in Ball´s deck around time spent on new games that Fernando mentioned? Page 35 (link to deck once more here)

On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids return for a pre-season catch-up as they look ahead to another year of football, guests, and complete podcast chaos. Fresh from a summer break, the lads swap stories from their latest adventures, including Pete's new obsession with barbecuing, why outdoor kitchens are harder to use than they look, and the ambitious plans for a 24-hour charity livestream that could become one of the biggest things TPCP has ever attempted.With the new football season just around the corner, the boys turn the episode over to you, reading through hundreds of listener suggestions for how the podcast could evolve. From crossover episodes and live tours to new weekly games, Sunday League commentary, bowling competitions and even a wives takeover, no idea is too ridiculous to escape discussion. Along the way they somehow find themselves defending the reputation of every bloke called Carl, pitching LeBron James as a regular feature, and putting Barack Obama on the ever-growing guest wishlist.The lads also reflect on just how far the podcast has come over the past decade, from recording in pubs to interviewing Oscar winners, future kings and football's biggest names, while looking ahead to another season packed with huge guests, Premier League chat, and plenty of the nonsense you've come to expect. As always, let us know your favourite ideas in the comments below and tell us which new feature you'd love to hear on TPCP this season.Chumbawamba00:00 - Intro & Sids checks in remotely01:18 - Tapas tales from Spain04:23 - Pete's Michelin BBQ masterclass07:28 - The 24-hour BBQ livestream idea10:34 - Your ideas for the new season14:03 - Should Friday predictions return?16:59 - Would a wives takeover work?19:34 - Pete's new gardening obsession22:49 - Sunday League commentary idea24:23 - Footballers ten-pin bowling?28:29 - The campaign to redeem Karls31:24 - Live tour plans for the podcast33:49 - New listener games for TPCP35:06 - LeBron's mystery stadium game36:35 - Dream guests for the new season38:14 - Looking back on 10 years of TPCP39:51 - Who could be next on the pod?40:13 - Barack Obama gets a mention40:32 - Premier League season previewFor more Peter Crouch:Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouchTherapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouchFor more Chris StarkTwitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_StarkInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/For more Steve SidwellTwitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwellInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14#PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.

He highlights how Hasbro balances legacy with growth and details what the future looks like for the toy company.“Our core KPI is what we've termed ‘delight,' and it's the number of people that we've reached in the past year with a play experience and hopefully brought a smile to their face. Last year we estimate we delighted about 1.1 billion people,” Cocks says. Subscribe to C-Speak so you never miss an episode.

Xbox just got torched, and the math says new games can't win.Jen and Eric (two for TWIG this week) break down the biggest restructuring in Xbox history: 4,800 jobs cut, Asha Sharma unwinding Phil Spencer's entire studio buying spree, and King and Minecraft pulled in to report directly to her. Is this the setup for an Activision Blizzard 2.0 spin-out? Then they dig into fresh Newzoo data on why only 6% of the market is open to new IP, why forever games keep winning, and how growth has become an ARPU story instead of a new-player story.Topics Covered:• Microsoft cuts 4,800 jobs and 20% of Xbox's workforce• Sharma's memo and the "apex predator" restructuring playbook• King and Minecraft reporting straight to Sharma• Compulsion and Double Fine go independent with their IP• Helen Chang named Xbox's first COO, and what a single P&L signals• The spin-out theory and Activision Blizzard 2.0• Game Pass is stuck at 30 million and devaluing the $80 game• Why only 6% of the market is open to new IP• 60% of revenue coming from games five years or older• Growth as an ARPU story in the West and China• Last War, Whiteout Survival and Kingshot are proving the UA arbitrage gameCHAPTERS:00:00 - Werlcome & Agenda01:57 - World Cup Keeper Highlights03:35 - Kress's New Setup & Family Updates05:42 - NYT Games Shill07:30 - Xbox Rumors to Reality10:51 - Layoffs & Studio Shuffles13:26 - GamePass Stalls at 30 Mil14:45 - King, Mobile, and Minecraft Blindspots19:40 - Vanity Metrics Reality Check21:52 - COO PnL and Platform Model Critique24:22 - Booty Portfolio Shrinks & Next Steps25:46 - Gamepass Devalues Games27:01 - Publishers abandon Xbox28:25 - Spinout and Activision 2.030:04 - Microsoft & King Strategy32:29 - Embracer Parallel Lessons36:14 - Easy Cuts & Creative's Hard Work46:28 - Pipeline Worries for New Hits50:27 - ARPU & GTA Monetization53:11 - Mobile UA Arbitrage Reality54:58 - What Could Save the Industry

Join Here:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠⁠ In this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz examines Sony's reported decision to end physical PlayStation game production beginning January 2028, marking a historic shift to a fully digital ecosystem.According to recent reports, Sony Interactive Entertainment will stop manufacturing discs, with new PlayStation titles available only as digital downloads or retailer codes. Driven by digital sales reaching 78% of full-game purchases in fiscal year 2026, the move aims to cut manufacturing, packaging, and shipping costs while aligning with consumer trends.Analytic Dreamz explores the major implications: the end of used games, trading, lending, and physical collections; increased reliance on revocable digital licenses; and growing preservation risks highlighted by recent store closures and content removals. Community backlash, comparisons to Sony's 2013 anti-DRM messaging, and concerns over PlayStation 6 strategy are also covered.This transition could reshape console gaming, hardware pricing, and ownership models across the industry far earlier than analysts predicted. Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Good luck with the $80 games. Gamers aren't paying full price for new games any more, with Gen X being the most skeptical about new releases. Gen Z and Millennials aren't having it, either. Many are going back to YEARS OLD games and consoles. This is NOT a good sign for the already ailing video game industry, as Gen X has the most disposable income. Layoffs incoming...

Every new mobile game is now a copy of a copy. And that's not a complaint — it's the strategy.We dig through the soft launch charts to surface 15+ new games released in the last three months. Voodoo's Block Pals (which is literally just Block Jam 3D again). Moon Active's two new merge games are chasing Gossip Harbor. Spike's Hexa Out, Quick Send, and Solitaire Sort. Grand Games hiding its new Aerogem on the Zimbabwe App Store to dodge takedowns. SuperSend's template-driven creative-first approach with FROZIA and Daily Farm Harvest Empire. Plus the bigger structural question: is Overwatch Rush actually going to make it?The pattern is clear - 80% works, 20% iteration. Every serious studio is following the same playbook. The question is who executes it best.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Cold open — merge is the new match-304:04 Field Day by Bitod — ex-Supercell startup goes GTA06:15 Overwatch Rush — Blizzard's mobile play (high CPI face)09:53 Moon Active's merge wave — Reality Bay + Family Bay12:43 Voodoo's Block Pals + Century's DakiMage Color Puzzle15:35 Turkish section — Rolik, Spike, Grand Games dominance25:16 Aerogem hidden on the Zimbabwe App Store27:00 Arrows hits 6.5M DAU — the new template everyone copies28:38 SuperSend's creative-first templates: FROZIA, Daily Farm— "80% works, 20% iteration" is now the default soft launch strategy. Every game in this episode is an iteration on a proven winner — Block Jam, Gossip Harbor, Pixel Flow, Lesmore's Arrows, Township, Last War Creative.— Merge is officially being treated as the new match-3. Moon Active alone has two new merge games in soft launch. Caveat: merge is much harder to balance and live-ops than match-3, so most of these will fail.— Grand Games is hiding its new game Aerogem on the Zimbabwe App Store specifically because legal teams from incumbents (likely MiniClip / Lesmore) don't operate there. This is apparently a real soft launch tactic now.— Spike has abandoned its main App Store account and is publishing everything from a new "testing" account, releasing Hexa Out, Quick Send, and Solitaire Sort in rapid succession with the same template strategy.--------------------------------------PVX Partners offers non-dilutive funding for game developers.Go to: https://pvxpartners.com/They can help you access the most effective form of growth capital once you have the metrics to back it.- Scale fast- Keep your shares- Drawdown only as needed- Have PvX take downside risk alongside you+ Work with a team entirely made up of ex-gaming operators and investors---------------------------------------For an ever-growing number of game developers, this means that now is the perfect time to invest in monetizing direct-to-consumer at scale.Our sponsor FastSpring:Has delivered D2C at scale for over 20 yearsThey power top mobile publishers around the worldLaunch a new webstore, replace an existing D2C vendor, or add a redundant D2C vendor at fastspring.gg.This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

There's only one game we've been playing this week and it's a good one - SAROS. Ed's even had a chance encounter with Rahul Kohli himself and has obviously whizzed past Ben in the game. We also chat about games where the sequels are better than the original, as well as looking ahead at games coming out this May. Your weekly dose of gaming news, views and inane chatter.  00:00:00 - Intro 00:13:41 - SAROS 00:42:55 - Sequels better than the original 00:57:29 - Games coming out this month 01:04:14 - Outro   ▼ Swapping Joysticks ▼ ● All previous episodes available at http://swappingjoysticks.com  ▼ Ben's links ▼ ● Follow on Twitch - http://twitch.tv/biggusbennus ● Follow on Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/biggusbennus.bsky.social ● Follow on Instagram - http://instagram.com/biggusbennus ● Join the Discord - http://discord.gg/biggusbennus ▼ Ed's links ▼ ● Follow on Twitch - http://twitch.tv/ed_nights ● Follow on Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/ednights.bsky.social
