Former Chairman of PlayStation Studios and former CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment America Shawn Layden joins The Expansion Pass for an extensive conversation about PlayStation, Xbox, and a games industry undergoing major change. Layden discusses the strategic bets platform holders make, the future of physical games, subscription services like Game Pass and PlayStation Plus, the changing purpose of console exclusives, and how PlayStation's approach to PC fits into the larger evolution of the platform. We also look back at his years with PlayStation, including the importance of first-party studios, Sony's acquisition of Insomniac Games, the balance between single-player experiences and live-service ambitions, and an era when PlayStation communicated with players very differently. It's a conversation about where PlayStation has been, where the console business appears to be going, and what may be lost—or gained—as the traditional boundaries between platforms continue to change. Topics include: Shawn Layden • PlayStation • Xbox • Physical Games • Digital Games • Game Pass • PlayStation Plus • Console Exclusives • PC Gaming • Insomniac Games • First-Party Studios • Live-Service Games • Single-Player Games • The Future of Consoles

Jugadores organizan un boicot contra Sony para defender los discos físicos, la propiedad y la preservación digitalPor Félix Riaño @LocutorCoPropietarios de PlayStation están apagando sus consolas y dejando de gastar dinero en los servicios de Sony. La protesta, llamada PSBlackout, comenzó el 23 de agosto de 2026. Iba a durar siete días, pero sus promotores ahora animan a continuar por tiempo indefinido.El motivo principal es la decisión de Sony de dejar de producir discos para juegos nuevos desde enero de 2028. Los participantes también critican el rumbo de PlayStation y la relación de la compañía con su comunidad. ¿Puede un grupo de jugadores cambiar una decisión comercial de esta magnitud?Pero apagar consolas quizá no cambie las cuentas de Sony

In today's Daily Fix:After Sony's bombshell anouncement that they would no longer release first-party titles on physical discs, many gamers took to the PlayStation Network webpage to unsubscribe from PlayStation Plus. But analysts say that even if hundreds of thousands of gamers unsubbed from PS Plus, it's a drop in the bucket to PlayStation's overall business model and would likely not persuade them to keep supporting physical media. In other gaming news, Bernie Sanders has taken aim at Xbox, posting on social media that the company's mass layoffs and hardware price troubles are more evidence that corporate tax breaks do nothing to create or even save jobs. And on a bittersweet note, Bungie offered a farewell gift for their Destiny 2 fans as a 'thank you' for years of support before formally ending major updates for the game.

It's a brand-new week, and that means it's time for the return of Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast podcast! The Lost Records Journal co-hosts Adnan Riaz and Adam Evalt return for the first part of an all-new episode, with Deck Nine's Life Is Strange: Double Exposure and Life Is Strange: Reunion both taking the centre stage for this side of the podcast.

Pay the Concord tax, chud! Yes, Sony is raising its PlayStation Plus membership prices and gamers are NOT happy. How else are you going to subsidize failures like Concord and Marathon? Then we talk about gaming journos not liking the idea of PS5 player counts. They're afraid games that are clearly failing will be labeled failures by gamers. Because... of course they will?

This week on GameBurst, the team covered a bumper week in gaming news — headlined by the news that Rebellion's post-apocalyptic British gem Atomfall is heading to television, with the Emmy-winning writers behind Fleabag attached to pen the series. It's a fitting creative match for a game that won Best British Game at this year's BAFTA Game Awards. Elsewhere, retro enthusiasts have plenty to look forward to: clamshell handhelds based on the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum are due in October at £109.99, complete with 25 built-in games and MicroSD expansion — with limited collector's editions bundled with reproduction issues of Crash and Zzap! magazine. RPG fans got a firm release date for Blood of the Dawnwalker — the dark fantasy debut from Witcher 3 veterans Rebel Wolves — confirmed for 3 September 2026 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, alongside ten minutes of atmospheric new gameplay footage. Nintendo's cinematic ambitions continue to grow, with Universal quietly confirming a third Nintendo and Illumination animated film for April 2028 — with a Donkey Kong spin-off widely speculated to be in the frame. In community news, Games Done Quick is heading to Europe for the first time, partnering with Gamescom in Cologne this August for a three-day charity speedrunning showcase benefiting Gaming for Democracy. Meanwhile, PlayStation Plus subscribers can claim EA Sports FC 26 and Wuchang: Fallen Feathers from the start of May — and Xbox Game Pass users will welcome price cuts, with Ultimate now dropping to $22.99 per month, though new Call of Duty titles will no longer be included at launch. Pick of the Week this episode, Taylor recommended the YouTube channel Spinosnack — worth a look for gaming content with a distinctive edge.
