We're off to the races, again!Move over Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button, as Chris thumbs the scales once again to accommodate a guest. For this episode our duo is joined by Gobotch to play and discuss the latest entry in the racing game franchise developed by Playground Games and published by Xbox Game Studios. Over the years, many racing game franchises have come and gone, but this one clearly has legs, or perhaps wheels. As its name implies, it once started as a spinoff but blossomed into a beloved franchise of its own. We noted that our guest has specially requested this title, so it stands to reason that he has some expectations it will go far. But what about Tom and Chris, who have played plenty of racing titles for just this show alone? Will they be pleased that this one was cherry picked? Join our triumvirate as they decide if this is one race you shouldn't miss!What do you think?

Day 2 of Summer Game Fest 2026 was all about Xbox — and I got behind closed doors. In this recap I break down the Xbox showcase and the hands-off demos, including the game that stole the show for me: Fable.Playground Games' Fable looks staggering — 1,000 individually crafted NPCs with their own motivations, deep reputation and relationship systems, and a lived-in world unlike anything I've seen. Plus Minecraft Dungeons 2 rebuilt on Unreal 5 with 4-player co-op, the hilarious cult-survival surprise Join Us (Cult of the Lamb meets Midsommar), Gears of War: E-Day, Crazy Taxi, new Senua/Hellblade, and the 25th-anniversary translucent green Xbox console. I close with what's coming on Day 3 — Capcom, ProbablyMonsters, and the new Tomb Raider.Enjoying the channel?

Het sloot op deze wijze immers perfect aan op de Summer Game Fest van Geoff Keighley. Daan, Huey en JJ Koos zitten klaar om je helemaal bij te praten over alles wat er de afgelopen dagen is gebeurd en wat er nog staat te gebeuren de komende dagen. Ze hebben het over God of War Laufey en het ontbreken van Kratos. Ze bekijken de trailer van Clutch, een game gemaakt door ex-werknemers van Playground Games. En ze bespreken wanneer de nieuwe Nintendo Direct komt en waar die editie om gaat draaien. Deze onderwerpen en meer zie en hoor je voorbijkomen in de Einde van de Week Live van vrijdag 5 juni 2026. Rustig maar, er komt ook nog wel een God of War met Kratos in de hoofdrol Andere onderwerpen die voorbijkomen zijn de opvolger van het zeer succesvolle 007: First Light, de nieuwe trailer van Star Fox en Gabe Newell die zich hard maakt voor het behoud van een bepaald soort games op Steam. Vanaf maandag in de aanbieding bij MediaMarkt: de Katana 15 HX gaming laptop MSI zet deze week de Katana 15 HX gaming laptop in het zonnetje.

Keer terug naar een sterk verbeterd Elder Scrolls Online, waar de nieuwe content voortaan gratis is The Elder Scrolls Online is al 12 jaar lang een van de meest populaire MMO’s van het moment. Bethesda wil dat succes nog wel even voorzetten. Daarom hebben ze drastische maatregelen genomen om de game toffer, laagdrempeliger en aantrekkelijker dan ooit te maken. We stuurden Jasper terug naar Tamriel om te kijken of Season Zero: Dawn and Dusk verbeteringen bracht. Verbeteringen die hem en vele andere (afgehaakte) spelers kunnen motiveren om terug het avontuur in te duiken.Wil je adverteren bij de podcast Gamekings óf misschien bij een andere podcast van ILVY Network?

God of War Returns, and Wolverine is set for September. But so is every other game apparently. So while we all wait for GTA VI, we can now also wait even longer for Fable. Steam may have been hiding in plain sight as a villain all along, we now look to Lord Gaben for guidance. Spider-Noir is more Groucho than Cagney, but it might work in its favor. And Call of Duty is bringing us to East Asia.

Every major publisher blinked this week — and GTA 6 didn't even have to say a word.GTA 6 is the most powerful force in the gaming industry right now — and it hasn't even launched. This week on GZ Chop Shop, we dig into how a single unreleased game is warping the entire 2026–2027 release landscape, starting with the news that Fable has been delayed to February 2027.Is Microsoft and Playground Games playing it safe against Rockstar's marketing machine? Is this a genuine development delay dressed up as a strategy? Or is there a shadow drop play in the works that nobody's talking about yet? We break down the real calculus behind the decision and what it means for Xbox's 2026 holiday window.We go deeper on the GTA 6 calendar effect — how publishers are not just moving release dates but restructuring their entire awards campaign strategies around Rockstar's launch window. Early-year releases are being greenlit specifically to avoid the Rockstar gravitational pull, and that's reshaping what games the industry even takes seriously come December.Then we turn to Persona 6. The leaks are circulating, the Atlus community is in full speculation mode, and we do a credibility check — what's plausible based on franchise history, what's clearly fabricated for clout, and what a realistic release window actually looks like given Atlus's development pace. We also pull in the Witcher 3 conversation: CD Projekt Red is still supporting a ten-year-old game, and we explain why that's not nostalgia — it's calculated brand maintenance.The second half of the episode tackles the Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2026. This year's ceremony became a flashpoint for a debate that's been building for years: do these awards actually reflect global anime fandom, or do they reflect whoever organizes the most effective voting bloc? We get into the regional dynamics between Western and Japanese audiences, how localization and censorship decisions affect what Western viewers even have access to, and the ongoing critical divide between juggernauts like Demon Slayer and more narratively complex series like Chainsaw Man. The awards snubs, the voting system's structural problems, and the broader question of whether Western platforms should be the arbiters of Japanese cultural output — all of it on the table.Topics covered in this episode:Fable delayed to February 2027 — strategy or necessity?The GTA 6 calendar effect and how it's reshaping publisher strategyXbox's 2026 holiday lineup and what's actually left on the schedulePersona 6 leaks — separating signal from noiseWitcher 3 DLC in 2026 and what legacy support tells us about studio prioritiesWWE 2K DLC years later — the regional market logic behind itCrunchyroll Anime Awards 2026: voting breakdown and controversyWestern vs. Japanese taste divides in global anime recognitionDemon Slayer vs. Chainsaw Man as a storytelling and audience divideThe global state of gaming and anime culture in 2026GZ Chop Shop is a weekly gaming podcast covering the news, the narratives, and the conversations the industry is having — with personality and no corporate filter.

If you didn't know that we are all huge fans of Japan, japanese culture and its cuisine, you are about to hear us gush for an hour about it. The game we are discussing today is set in Japan, and we couldnt be more stoked about that choice. The absence of a good arcade style racing game has been felt for awhile here and Forza 6 has been the cure. We will be discussing the cars, the map, the music, the feel, and the overall ups and downs of Playground Games and Xbox Studios latest installment into the Forza Series. So put the seat belt on, get ready for a scenic and picturesque experience that will leave you with a with a smile on your face and if your lucky only a little bit of whiplash. Vroooooom!!

Welcome back to The Inner Gamer, the roundtable podcast dedicated to analyzing the ideas, trends, and time-value decisions shaping modern video games. This week, we are kicking things off by driving straight into the stunning landscape of Japan with our full critique of Forza Horizon 6. While Playground Games has delivered an absolute mechanical and visual masterpiece, we examine the concept of "excellence fatigue". For busy professionals with tight schedules, does the game's relentless dopamine loop and identical progression structure turn a quick driving session into a trend-chasing live-service project that you've already experienced? Next, a special guest jumps onto the roundtable couch to help us navigate the alien oceans of Subnautica 2, freshly launched in Early Access. We look closely at how the development team has pulled off the impossible: adding native 4-player cooperative play to a franchise defined by crushing isolation without losing a single ounce of its trademark psychological tension. We explore the baseline stability of the build, the massive grassroots enthusiasm brewing inside the game's official Discord channels, and how its modular base-building automation and streamlined blueprint systems elegantly respect an adult's limited hobby hours. Finally, we shift our focus to the structural design trends splitting the soul of the modern industry. We audit LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, evaluating the creative friction that occurs when family-friendly plastic brickwork tries to copy the mature DNA of the Arkham franchise. We close the show by breaking down the newest GDC industry data revealing that over 70% of developers now rely on global co-development pipelines. Using case studies like Fable and Crimson Desert, we expose how fracturing a single game across multiple outsourced corporate entities creates the massive logistical bottlenecks behind modern 6-year development cycles and buggy launch-day builds.

Det bedste racerspil nogensinde?Forza Horizon 6 er et racerspil udviklet af Playground Games og udgivet af Xbox Game Studios. Forza Horizon-serien er en spin-off-serie fra en anden Xbox-racingserie, nemlig Forza Motorsport, som udvikles af Turn 10 Studios. Hvor Forza Motorsport er en racersimulator, meget ala Gran Turismo fra PlayStation, er Forza Horizon et mere klassisk og let tilgængeligt racerspil.Det første Forza Horizon-spil udkom i 2012, men seriens popularitet er steget gennem årene, både blandt anmeldere og publikum. For at sætte det i perspektiv udkom det seneste Forza Horizon-spil, Forza Horizon 5, i 2021. Men sidste år, i 2025, udkom Forza Horizon 5 også på PlayStation for første gang i seriens historie, og spillet var et af de bedst sælgende spil overhovedet på platformen sidste år.Nu er Forza Horizon 6 ude, og selvom spillet i første omgang kun er udkommet på Xbox og PC, har det allerede rundet 6 millioner spillere i løbet af den første uge. Forza Horizon 6 har også fået ekstremt gode anmeldelser og har lige nu en score på hele 91 på Metacritic. Det gør det, den 24. maj, hvor denne episode udkommer, til årets højest ratede spil på Metacritic. Men er Forza Horizon 6 så godt, som rygterne siger? Alt det og meget mere skal vi finde ud af nu!I denne episode deltager Felix Sanchez, Kasper Hansen, Zigurd Kertesz og Morten Urup.Tusind tak, fordi du lytter med.

Deze aflevering van Einde van de Week Live is ook te bekijken op https://youtube.com/live/fLSU9Jvm3rg Deze talkshow wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door MSI. Alle meningen in deze video zijn onze eigen.

Ook al gaat dit Hemelvaartweekend nat worden. We gaan ervoor. En dat laten we je ook weten in een nieuwe editie van Einde van de Week Live. Huey, JJ en Koos zitten klaar om bij te praten over alles wat er de afgelopen week toe deed. Een onderwerp dat aan bod komt, is bijvoorbeeld het lek bij Ubisoft waarin veel nieuwe details stonden over Assassin’s Creed Hexe. Wat zijn we allemaal te weten gekomen over dit nieuwe spel? De drie bespreken ook het immense succes van Capcom, de kans op een nieuwe Dead Space en de ballen die Rockstar keer op keer toont. Dit alles en meer zie en hoor je voorbijkomen in de Einde van de Week Live van vrijdag 15 mei 2026. Een nieuwe Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry en Ghost Recon voor eind 2029 Andere onderwerpen die in deze video voorbijkomen, zijn het enorme succes van Subnautica 2, de nieuwe Tomb Raider die nog steeds voor dit jaar op de releaselijst staat en CD Projekt Red, dat zegt geleerd te hebben van de fouten die zij maakten rond hun game Cyberpunk 2077. Ze hebben nu maatregelen getroffen die ervoor moeten zorgen dat er bij The Witcher 4 en de opvolger van hun cybergame niet dezelfde issues voor gaan komen. Koop nu de Cyborg 15 gaming laptop, met een 5070 RTX videokaart erin, voor een zeer scherpe prijs MSI zet ook deze week de Cyborg 15 in de spotlights. Het is namelijk nogal een aanbieding. Deze gaming laptop bezit een 13e generatie Intel Core i7 processor, een NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, 16GB RAM intern geheugen, een 1TB SSD, een 4-zone RGB toetsenbord en een 15.6” full HD 144Hz display. Deze laptop met dus een RTX 5070 aan boord is hier tegen een scherpe prijs bij Azerty verkrijgbaar. En dat zal in de nabije toekomst niet vaak meer voorkomen.

Its time to start your engines, because a new Forza Horizon is out and ready to be driven, and all in the shadow of Mt. Fuji. Plus XBOX may have to go back to exclusives, while PlayStation is ditching PC. HBO gave us our first real look at Lanterns ahead of its August release, and PlayStation is also hoping on the price increase train, as PS+ gets a hike.

Join Here:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠⁠ In this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz breaks down the launch of Forza Horizon 6, which released on May 19, 2026 for Xbox Series X/S, Windows PC, Steam, and Xbox Game Pass. Developed by Playground Games with support from Turn 10 Studios, the game marks the franchise's largest entry yet with its expansive, stylized open-world recreation of Japan. Analytic Dreamz explores the massive map featuring Tokyo areas five times larger than previous Horizon cities, heavy verticality across mountain passes, dense urban districts, rural roads, and dynamic seasons that impact both visuals and gameplay. The segment covers the return of wristband progression from Rookie to Gold Legend, over 550 cars at launch with strong JDM representation, new customization options, and technical upgrades including 540° steering animations and advanced Triton audio. The discussion also examines record-breaking performance: over 500K Steam pre-orders, 1.19 million early access players, and concurrent peaks nearly doubling Forza Horizon 5 records. With universal acclaim, Metacritic scores in the low 90s, and day-one Game Pass availability, Forza Horizon 6 solidifies its place as a major 2026 release while preparing for its PS5 version later this year.

Manu, Micha und Michi haben das digitale Japan in Forza Horizon 6 genossen. Nicht alles, was sie dort erlebt haben, hat sie restlos überzeugt und doch haben sie alle irgendwo ihren großen Spaß gefunden. Manu beim Sammeln, Micha beim Erkunden und Michi beim Aufsaugen der Atmosphäre in seinem Simulations-Rig. Dennoch ist nicht von der Hand zu weisen, dass es sich die EntwicklerInnen von Playground Games auch etwas leicht gemacht haben und die bewährte Formel lieber feintunen, als zu revolutionieren. Ob das dem brillanten Setting gerecht wird, erfahrt ihr im Review-Cast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're revved up to talk about Forza Horizon 6. Playground Games takes us to the sprawling Japanese setting to compete in the Horizon Festival. From new activities like the Togue Showdowns to collecting over 500 cars and racing a mech, all while honouring Japanese car culture.

Forza Horizon 6 is de nieuwste racegame in een open spelwereld, ditmaal gebaseerd op Japan. Eerdere delen (vooral het vijfde) bereikten tientallen miljoenen spelers, al had dat ook z'n gevolgen voor echte auto- en raceliefhebbers die een meer pure ervaring zochten. Hoe goed heeft ontwikkelaar Playground Games van Microsofts gamedivisie de balans ditmaal voor elkaar? Joe van Burik vertelt het in gesprek met Donner Bakker in deze Extra Mini-Game van All in the Game. Forza Horizon 6 is vanaf 15 mei te spelen op pc en Xbox Series S en X.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

No Bom Dia, Minha Vida de hoje, Isadora Basile comenta o aumento de preço do Nintendo Switch 2, que vai custar US$499,99 nos EUA a partir de setembro, e os resultados financeiros da Sony, que registrou prejuízo de US$765 milhões com a Bungie e queda de 46% nas vendas do PS5. Também: Forza Horizon 6 vaza uma semana antes do lançamento e a Playground Games ameaça banir quem jogar até o ano 9999; a Sega cancela o misterioso "Super Game" após cinco anos e abandona jogos live service; a Shift Up confirma que Stellar Blade 2 não terá a Sony como publisher; demissões na Build a Rocket Boy e na MercurySteam, o estúdio de Metroid Dread; um executivo da PlayStation diz que o futuro é "incrivelmente positivo"; Discord Nitro agora inclui Game Pass; novo bundle do Switch 2 com jogo à escolha; Aaron Paul entra para Fallout temporada 3; Fortnite confirma crossover com Overwatch para esta semana; e Harada, o pai de Tekken, funda novo estúdio na SNK._________________❤️____________________

In today's Daily Fix:The upcoming launch of Forza Horizon 6 suffered a setback last weekend when the game was leaked onto piracy websites. Now developer Playground Games is going after anyone caught streaming it, and they're making good on their threats. An unidentified YouTuber streamed the game, with their gamertag visible, and was hit with a hardware ban until December 31, 9999, a ban of nearly 8,000 years. That same pirate then used a different account to stream the game ahead, and said they weren't worried about any sort of ban. In other news, eBay has rejected GameStop's offer to buy the company for $56 billion. GameStop's CEO Ryan Cohen apparently isn't helping his company's case by going to CNBC and refusing to give a straight answer about where GameStop will even get fifty-six billion dollars. And finally, Dead Space's producer doesn't think a new game in the franchise will happen.

This week on GameBurst, the team digs into a packed fortnight for the industry, from blockbuster release confirmations to hardware surprises and the ongoing turbulence reshaping the games business. Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto VI remains firmly on course for its 19 November 2026 launch, with Take-Two's Strauss Zelnick confirming a summer marketing push — and developers moving swiftly to quash viral rumours of a third delay. Meanwhile, Playground Games has confirmed that its long-anticipated Fable reboot will arrive simultaneously on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5 and PC this autumn, breaking the franchise's historically Xbox-exclusive heritage and landing on Game Pass from day one. Two notable releases hit shelves this week: Capcom's sci-fi action title Pragmata and Nintendo's life simulator Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, both landing after years of anticipation. Nintendo also continues to build momentum around the Switch 2, with a Handheld Boost Mode update now enabling original Switch titles to run at 1080p in portable play, and Pokémon Champions dominating the eShop charts since its 8 April debut. Summer Game Fest 2026 is confirmed for 5 June at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, with Geoff Keighley also announcing the return of Play Days and a new trade event, The Game Business Live. And in hardware news, UK outfit Blaze Entertainment has unveiled the Evercade Nexus — its most ambitious handheld yet — featuring a 5.89-inch IPS screen, dual analogue sticks, wireless multiplayer, and a bundled Banjo-Kazooie Double Pack, priced at £169.99 and due in October. On a more sobering note, Ubisoft has announced a significant corporate restructuring, with further cuts at its Paris headquarters. The news arrives against a backdrop of continued industry-wide contraction, with a Newzoo/GDC survey finding around 28% of developers had been laid off in recent times. For picks of the week: Gary spotlights board game 1822: The Railways of Great Britain and Thomas & Friends: Wonders of Sodor; Jerome recommends The Rogue Prince of Persia and the Murderbot TV show on Apple TV; and Taylor highlights the Evercade VS-R alongside the excellent YouTube channel of Kim Justice. #gameburst YouTube links: Kim Justice: https://www.youtube.com/@Kim_Justice

Everything from Forza Horizon 6 and Kiln to Beast Of Reincarnation and Fable was shown off here! While the other games made their own noise, the Dukes (including Gene Park) were most captured by Fable. Judging by the noise online, so were many, many other people. For the first time in a long time, it feels like Xbox has a broadly appealing hit on their hands. Playground Games showed off everything from combat and choices to the economic and social simulation elements that always made Fable such a joy to play. With this comes the new introduction of "Living Population" where 1,000 NPCs all have their own hobbies, schedules, voice actors, and conversations. This is all designed to bring to life the replacement for Fable's famous morality system in the form of a reputation system that is similar to what is seen in Fable 3. Are there any snags for the Dukes with these changes? What has us most hyped? It's time to dive into what is now one of the most anticipated games of 2026.

RAND IS BACK! This week, we talk Xbox Dev Direct, Fable and Forza Horizon 6 reactions, Ubisoft imploding, and much more.

After years of secrecy and many delays, Xbox is set to pull the lid off one of its most anticipated RPGs at the upcoming Developer Direct. First rumored in 2017 and announced in 2020, Fable has been baking at Playground Games, the prolific racing game studio, for a long, long time. Now, Xbox promises a deep dive on everything from combat and choice to British humor and chickens. Is it do or die time for Fable? How does its early year showing shake up the already packed summer showcase? Will we finally get a release date? Perhaps just a release year? Indeed, there are so many questions, but most of these will be announced very shortly!
