3,200 Xbox jobs. Studios sold, studios cut loose, studios just gone. And PlayStation is telling us physical discs will be done by 2028. I sat down this week and gave you my honest, unfiltered take on all of it — not just the business moves, but what this means for the actual human beings living through this. As somebody who is currently laid off himself, this one hits close to home, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise.This episode covers:-

A seismic shift at Microsoft leads this week's GameBurst podcast, as newly appointed Xbox chief executive Asha Sharma executes a sweeping corporate restructure. The dramatic overhaul will see 3,200 layoffs, alongside a rare strategic reversal that allows celebrated studios Double Fine and Compulsion Games to regain their independence. Meanwhile, Ninja Theory and Undead Labs face new ownership, and Arkane enters a formal consultation period. Beyond the corporate fallout, we dive into Nintendo's quiet, EU-mandated redesign of the Switch Joy-Cons to feature user-replaceable batteries, and discuss a licensing snag that abruptly pulled Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 from July's Game Pass lineup. #gameburst In our Picks of the Week, the team explores a eclectic mix of tabletop and digital media. Gary takes us on a historical transit journey with 1840 Vienna Tramways and reviews the Aftergame.app platform, while Jerome highlights narrative adventures in The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales and the competitive martial arts of Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game. Jerome also shares an insightful video essay examining why curiosity ultimately triumphs over raw talent, drawing comparisons between the acclaimed series Frieren and The Apothecary Diaries.

We're more than a week removed from the controversial decision to scrap new physical releases for PlayStation hardware beginning in early 2028, and even with a robust outpouring of rage from a portion of its hardcore audience, Sony doesn't seem like it's going to budge. This has come to surprise some people; yet, the longer Sony continues its silence on the topic, the more unlikely it'll be that anything will change. Will the Japanese megacorporation's wait-and-see approach pay off? Is there still time to turn the ship around? Are physical buyers vastly overestimating their power and positioning? There's much more to discuss surrounding the worst period of PR for the PlayStation brand since 2011. Other news this week includes furor over language in the European PSN's terms of service, drama surrounding Marvel Tokon's release on Steam, significant layoffs at Xbox that deeply affect PlayStation-aligned developers like id and Obsidian, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Is it weird that Sony executives sold more than $10 million in stock after their infamous physical games announcement? What's going on with EA's insane monetization policies in College Football 27? Why couldn't Bluepoint spin-out from Sony like Microsoft is allowing some of its teams to do? Does Dustin have similarly arcane powers as Brad, just pointed in the opposite direction?

This week, **30nstillgaming** and **Sgt Mclusky** dive into some of the biggest stories shaping the gaming industry. and the rant along the way. In Generation X Gaming Podcast Episode #496, 30nstillgaming and Sgt Mclusky break down the latest major shifts happening at Sony and Xbox, while discussing why the gaming industry increasingly feels driven by corporate priorities instead of player experience.We start by discussing reports that Sony may stop producing physical game discs by 2028, and what that could mean for ownership, preservation, regional access, and the growing push toward digital and subscription-based gaming. The conversation also touches on recent restrictions affecting players in certain countries and why many gamers are concerned about losing control over the products they buy.The discussion then shifts to Xbox, where we react to Asha Sharma's reported company-wide reset, significant layoffs, and ongoing restructuring. We talk about the challenge of managing massive gaming organizations, the problem of excessive management layers, and the lack of accountability when projects fail. Studios like Compulsion Games, Double Fine, Ninja Theory, and Undead Labs are also discussed as part of the broader Xbox conversation.Throughout the episode, we share our frustrations with the increasingly corporate direction of gaming, where subscription revenue, guaranteed returns, and safe business decisions can often overshadow the creation of innovative, fun, and memorable games.We also talk about what we've been playing lately, including Grand Theft Auto V and Marvel Rivals, give brief thoughts on recent movie releases, and finish the show with a community Q&A about Xbox's future, studio acquisitions, and the overall direction of the industry.#podcast #gaming #podcasting ⏱️ Chapters00:00 Intro

Agradecemos a nuestra pedazo de comunidad y os recordamos que os suscribáis y activéis la campanita.En la sección LO + FRESCO, tratamos el "cráter" de Xbox: tras un pasado Showcase ilusionante, se ha confirmado un "reset" radical. Asha Sharma ha comunicado el despido de 3.200 trabajadores, la independencia de Compulsion Games y Double Fine, la búsqueda de nuevos dueños para Undead Labs y Ninja Theory, y el posible cierre de Arkane. Además, se ha anunciado una nueva subida de precios global para el 1 de agosto de 2026, eliminando el modelo de 2 TB y situando a la Series S y X Digital en precios históricos de hasta 750 dólares, todo debido al encarecimiento de componentes por la burbuja de la IA.En MADE IN JAPAN, abordamos el adiós al físico de PlayStation: Sony anunció que en enero de 2028 abandonará el formato, a pesar de que filtraciones de Insomniac Games tras el ataque de ransomware de 2023 revelan que éxitos como Spider-Man 2 o God of War Ragnarok vendieron mayoritariamente en disco. Esta medida apunta a un monopolio digital que ya ha provocado una petición en Change.org con casi 190.000 firmas. Mientras Xbox Helix podría intentar recuperar el físico, Rockstar ha confirmado que la edición física de GTA 6 contendrá únicamente un código.En la sección de NOTICIAS, destacamos el RPG de acción The Blood of Dawnwalker, que llegará el 3 de septiembre con un sistema de 30 días y 30 noches. Julio está lleno de lanzamientos como Rhythm Heaven Groove, la expansión de DOOM: The Dark Ages, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, Palworld (1.0), The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu, Denshattack!, Splatoon Raiders, Avatar Legends y la reconstrucción de Halo: Campaign Evolved. Por otro lado, el remake de Splinter Cell se encuentra en una etapa "súper frágil" con estreno previsto para finales de 2027, Marvel's Blade sufre retrasos presupuestarios, Nintendo lanza una Switch 2 con batería extraíble, se ha recreado GoldenEye 007 en Far Cry 5 y MachineGames prepara Wolfenstein 3 junto a una serie para Prime Video.Finalmente, en QUEMANDO CONTROLES, Nacho está disfrutando de Top Gear Pocket 2, mientras que Dani se encuentra jugando a Daytona, 007 First Light y Sifu.

W 961. odcinku Gramy na Maxa bierzemy na warsztat jeden z najbardziej wyczekiwanych tytułów ostatnich miesięcy. Spędziliśmy aż 4 godziny z The Blood of Dawnwalker – czy mroczny klimat, zapowiadana swoboda i mechanika walki spełniają pokładane w grze nadzieje? Dzielimy się pierwszymi, gorącymi wrażeniami z rozgrywki, oceniamy oprawę wizualną i sprawdzamy, czy szykuje się murowany hit, czy jedynie rzemieślnicza robota.W drugiej części programu poruszamy temat, który może zmienić oblicze gamingu na zawsze. PlayStation stawia wszystko na jedną kartę i wycofuje się z produkcji gier na płytach! Co ta decyzja oznacza dla graczy, kolekcjonerów oraz rynku wtórnego? Czy to ostateczny triumf cyfrowej dystrybucji i początek końca fizycznych wydań?Czasówka:[00:03] – Intro [00:49] – Luźny wstęp, powitanie prowadzących (Paweł Typiak, Mateusz Fidut, Mateusz Zdanowicz) oraz rzut oka na aktualne wydarzenia sportowe.[01:58] – Gorący temat: Kontrowersje wokół Sony i przyszłości płyt. Dyskusja o plotkach dotyczących rezygnacji z nośników fizycznych przez Sony do 2028 roku, wyłączaniu sklepów na PS Vita/PS3 oraz o problemach z cyfrowym monopolem na konsolach.[09:34] – Porównanie cen gier cyfrowych (PS Store) do wydań pudełkowych na przykładzie nowego Resident Evil oraz dyskusja o prawach konsumenta do posiadania gier.[10:41] – Reakcje graczy na cyfrową rewolucję: anulowanie subskrypcji PlayStation Plus oraz szanse Xboxa na przejęcie rynku dzięki pozostawieniu napędów.[14:48] – Porównanie cyfrowej dystrybucji na PC (Steam, GOG, Epic) i konsolach – dlaczego "all-digital" na komputerach jest bardziej przyjazne dla gracza (m.in. brak opłat za multiplayer, polityka zwrotów).[17:31] – Ciekawostka/anegdota o sposobie na testowanie gier na PlayStation (w ramach 14-dniowego zwrotu).[19:14] – Wyniki ankiety na żywo: Czy gracze planują zakup konsol PlayStation po rezygnacji z płyt? Przeprosiny w stronę Nintendo i dyskusja o systemie Game Key Cards w Switchu 2.[23:45] – Analiza historyczna: jak rynek wtórny (gry używane) wpływa na deweloperów oraz jak ukształtował pokolenie graczy w USA i Polsce.[29:22] – Zwolnienia i zmiany w Xbox (Microsoft): Asha Sharma i jej głośny mail do pracowników. Omówienie sytuacji studiów takich jak Double Fine, Compulsion Games, Ninja Theory oraz Undead Labs, które opuszczają struktury Xboxa i przechodzą na niezależność.[32:45] – GŁÓWNY TEMAT: Wrażenia z 4 godzin z The Blood of Dawnwalker. Kim są twórcy z polskiego studia Rebel Wolves (weterani od Wiedźmina) i jak wygląda mroczny, karpacki świat gry łączący słowiańskość z motywami wampirycznymi.[36:23] – Kim jest główny bohater Coen? Tło fabularne, relacje rodzinne, mechanika daniny krwi dla wampirów i fit-styl życia dyktatury wampirów.[39:18] – Konstrukcja zadań i szara moralność w grze wzorowana na Wiedźminie 3 – analiza przykładowych questów pobocznych.[42:44] – Unikalna mechanika rozgrywki: cykl dnia i nocy (w dzień jesteś człowiekiem, w nocy wampirem) oraz presja czasu (30 dni na uratowanie bliskich) podzielona na sekwencje-klepsydry.[46:32] – Czy gra jest lepsza od Gothica? Dyskusja o minimapie, punktach widokowych (wieżach) i gęstym klimacie eksploracji.[48:45] – Unikalne moce wampira: badanie pamięci zmarłych oraz szczegóły systemu walki mieczem i pazurami (sterowanie kierunkowe bloków i ataków analogiem).[51:10] – Kwestie techniczne: oprawa wizualna, platformy docelowe (PS5, Xbox Series, PC), premiera zaplanowana na 3 września oraz genialny polski dubbing z gwiazdorską obsadą (w tym Jacek Mikołajczak).[52:28] – Sekwencje Quick Time Events (QTE) w dialogach oraz zmysł detektywistyczny.[56:40] – Podsumowanie odcinka, ostateczne wyniki ankiety i zaproszenie na kolejny podcast GnM Plus.[58:05] – Outro i klasyczny monolog końcowy audycji.

Xbox is cutting approximately 3,200 jobs—20% of its workforce—through FY2027, with 1,600 immediate layoffs and another 1,600 to follow. As part of a broader 4,800-job reduction across Microsoft, new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma describes it as the most significant restructure in Xbox history.Analytic Dreamz examines the harsh realities behind the cuts: lagging Game Pass growth (30 million subscribers vs. 77 million projected), declining console sales, shrinking player engagement, exploding hardware costs driven by AI demand, and operating margins far below competitors. The segment covers major studio changes including Double Fine and Compulsion Games becoming independent, the sale of Ninja Theory and Undead Labs, Arkane Studios under strategic review, and Microsoft's sharpened focus on core franchises like Call of Duty, Minecraft, Halo, Gears of War, Forza, and Fallout.

In today's Daily Fix:Xbox boss Asha Sharma sent an email to employees announcing a 'significant' restructuring of the company, citing losing "64 cents for every dollar invested" in their studios in an average year. Unfortunately 3,200 employees will be laid off, starting with 1,600 today and the rest to happen throughout Fiscal year 2027. Microsoft-owned studioss Double Fine and Compulsion Games will become independent studios, while others such as Ninja Theory and Undead Labs "have entered terms to join new ownership." Arkane Studios' management will enter into consultation with its workers council on next steps. No publicly-announced games are said to be cancelled as part of the reductions in workforce. In other news, Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls has been blocked in 132 countries, likely due to Sony's PSN requirements, and PSN being blocked in specific territories. And finally, DC Studios' Supergirl has crossed $100 million at the global box office in its second week, and will likely not recoup its reported $170 million production budget (which does not include the massive marketing spend).

Xbox just got hit by a sledgehammer. In this episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, Frank breaks down CEO Asha Sharma's announcement of 3,200 job cuts at Xbox, with 1,600 happening immediately and the rest rolling out through 2027. Sharma calls it a major reset, admitting Xbox margins are 3 to 10 times lower than comparable companies. Four studios are leaving Microsoft entirely: Compulsion Games (South of Midnight) and Double Fine (Psychonauts 2) are going independent and keeping their IP, while Ninja Theory and Undead Labs head to undisclosed new owners. Frank also covers the cuts hitting Activision, Bethesda, ZeniMax, Blizzard, King, Mojang, and Xbox Game Studios, the refocus on tentpole franchises like Halo and Gears of War, and why King and Mojang now report directly to Sharma.

Hallo Freunde fürs Extraleben,Sony hat letzte Woche Schockwellen durch die Videospiellandschaft geschickt als sie aus heiterem Himmel angekündigt haben, dass es ab Anfang 2028 keine physischen Datenträger mehr für Playstation geben wird. Die Implikationen dieser Entscheidung sind weitreichend. Abgesehen von ihrer persönlichen Enttäuschung als Käufer physischer Spiele, reden Manuel und Daniel über die möglichen Motive dieser Entscheidung, die Hinweise auf die nächste Playstation-Generation, die Probleme des digitalen Rechtemanagements und vieles mehr. Dies allein würde eigentlich schon reichen, um eine Episode zu füllen, aber wenn schlechte Nachrichten um die Ecke kommen, lässt Microsoft sich nicht lange bitten: auch die nächste Xbox wird wohl auf physische Datenträger verzichten. Gerüchte um weitere potenzielle Studioschließungen und weniger Spiele für den Gamepass runden den Eindruck einer in Teilen deprimierenden Lage der Videospielbranche und dieser newslastigen Episode der Extrafreunde ab.Viel Spaß!Was wird denn hier gespielt?05:42 Daniel spielt weiterhin Tomodachi Life (und Multiplayer-Kram)11:05 Unser aktueller Stand bei 007 - First LightNachrichten aus der Spielebranche42:38 Playstation stellt ab 2028 keine game-discs mehr her1:32:12 Gekaufte Filme von Studiocanal sind nicht mehr über Playstation abrufbar1:37:16 Die PS3- und Vita-Stores schließen endgültig1:41:20 Auch Xbox bald schon discless?1:45:39 Weniger Spiele für den Gamepass1:50:34 Xbox beendet publishing deal mit IOI1:55:33 Sind auch Arkane und Undead Labs von Schließungen/Verkauf betroffen?2:08:55 Krafton zahlt, der Unknown Worlds Chef geht2:12:50 Onimusha erscheint etwas früher2:15:03 Das Space Marine 1 Remaster kommt offensichtlich auch für Switch und Playstationffelpodcast@gmail.comExtrafreunde@social.colognehttps://www.facebook.com/Extrafreundehttps://www.instagram.com/extrafreundehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGusrYncNi-relSm6YC8k7Q

GTA 6 preorders are here, but Rockstar's physical edition is already stirring controversy with no disc in the box. We dig into the $80 price point, whether GTA 6 changes the ceiling for AAA games, and what this means for physical collectors. Then we get into a rough week for Xbox: Call of Duty leaving day-one Game Pass, major Xbox Series X|S price increases, and reports that Microsoft may be looking to sell, spin out, or shut down studios like Ninja Theory, Double Fine, Undead Labs, Compulsion, and Arkane Lyon.

Er det her enden på Xbox?Ikke alene har Xbox trukket sig som finansieringspartner fra IO Interactives kommende spil, der går under kodenavnet Project Fantasy - Xbox er nu også skyld i en stor fyringsrunde hos det danske selskab.Xbox overvejer desuden at lukke både deres studie Undead Labs og deres kommende spil State of Decay 3, ligesom de angiveligt også vil lukke Arkane og deres kommende Marvel's Blade-spil.Altså, hvad pokker foregår der? Er det her enden for Xbox? Vi snakker om det hele senere i episoden.Vi taler også om, at vi nu kender prisen på GTA VI, samt at GTA VI beskrives som en ren singleplayer-oplevelse af Rockstar selv.
