De strammer også ind og vil fremover kun fokusere på deres stærkeste franchises såsom Fallout, The Elder Scrolls osv. Hør, hvad vi tænker om det senere i episoden.Noget, mange også har holdninger til, er, at PlayStation angiveligt stopper med at udgive spil på fysiske diske med deres næste konsol, PlayStation 6, som forventes at udkomme i 2028.

Men er kritikken fortjent?I denne episode diskuterer vi blandt andet:- Blodbad hos Xbox – tusindvis fyret- Bethesda vil omstrukturere og fokusere på deres stærkeste franchises- Obsidian Entertainment hårdt ramt af fyringsrunde- Halvdelen af medarbejderne fyret hos studiet bag DOOM- Xbox flytter investeringer på tværs af studier- Xbox Game Pass er angiveligt stagneret- IO Interactive lukker afdeling, men genvinder rettighederne til Project Fantasy- Xbox tester en disk-til-digital-funktion- Usikkerhed om diskdrev til Project Helix- PlayStation varsler: Ingen spil på fysiske diske i fremtiden- PlayStations største diskfabrik er allerede ved at blive ombygget- Sony er tavse på sociale medier efter den store annoncering- Stor modstand mod Sonys beslutning om at udfase fysiske diske- Spilstudier tjener markant mere på digitale spil- PlayStation 6 kommer tidligst i 2028 ifølge analytikere- PlayStation skal være mere end en PC-konkurrent- PlayStation 3 og PS Vita lukker deres digitale butikker- Red Ring of Death – Steam Machine i problemer?- Epic CEO mener, at AI kunne have gjort Destiny 2 profitabeltI denne episode deltager Mark Elsberg, Lau Eskildsen og Morten Urup.Tusind tak, fordi du lytter med.

As the video game world digests Sony's shock decision to kill video game discs on PlayStation consoles starting January 2028, analysts believe it sends a strong signal about the PS6 — including when it will come out. Plus, Microsoft is sending notifications out to Xbox Game Pass members reminding them that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 won't be in the subscription service this year. So if they want to play the game at launch, they'll have to buy it. Daemon has all that and more on your Daily Fix!

With the rumors and reports continuing to swirl regarding the bloodletting that is due to ensue next week from Xbox, even more information has been released this week, narrowing down the studios that could be affected even further. Not only that, but now XBOX is cutting funding to projects and even Xbox Game Pass third-party deals, plus they even raised console prices AGAIN. As XBOX evaluates everything, actual employees are already reporting they are looking for work. Bad news all around for the green brand. Sony also had its share of bad news with the major Bungie layoffs and the removal of purchased digital content due to licensing agreements, and more rumors that the PlayStation 6 will be rather expensive, and apparently they still want live service stuff too. Plus, Grand Theft Auto costs $80, and the special edition is $100. Persona is getting a live-action show from Netflix, NBC Universal may get into gaming, Unreal Engine 6 is really going heavy on A.I. and more.

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to the first episode of The Video Games Debate Show, a new debate-style format from the NickMoses05 Gaming Podcast.NickMoses05 is joined by TEKKENBLACKEST for three rounds of gaming arguments, hot takes, and real conversation around where the video game industry is heading.Round 1 starts with the Philippines temporarily blocking GoreBox after a deadly school shooting, raising the question: should violent video games ever be banned after real-world violence, or is that just lazy politics?Round 2 moves into Xbox Game Pass and whether the subscription model is actually saving gamers money, or slowly training players to stop buying games altogether.Then in the Final Round, Nick and TEKKENBLACKEST debate GTA 6, digital downloads, code-in-a-box releases, physical collectors, $100 editions, and whether Rockstar could be pushing gaming closer to the death of physical media.This episode also gets into digital convenience, midnight releases, game ownership, collector's editions, scalpers, GTA Online money, fighting games, Tekken, Mortal Kombat, and why some gamers are fully done with physical copies while others still want something real on the shelf.Three rounds. Three debates. No safe answers.Support the show

The team at Bungie, the studios at Xbox, and the video game industry continue to face one of its biggest turning points ever.This week on Tower Casuals, ⁠⁠Corey Dirrig⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Josh Finney⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ break down the major changes affecting both Bungie and the ongoing changes at Xbox. After Destiny 2 received its final planned service updates, Bungie announced nearly 300 layoffs, leaving Marathon as the studio's primary focus under Sony. At the same time, Microsoft is undergoing major restructuring under new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma. Reports suggest several well-known Xbox studios, including Ninja Theory and Double Fine, could face closure while Microsoft also introduces a $150 price increase for Xbox consoles. Josh and Corey discuss what led to these decisions, how Xbox Game Pass fits into Microsoft's long-term strategy, and what this wave of layoffs and restructuring could mean for the future of the gaming industry.This and more on Tower Casuals and Xbox Casuals.Join ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠the Tower Casuals Community Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠the Tower Casuals Podcast Clan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Renewable energy mixed with a DIY attitude!Crafted in Germany by two developers dubbing themselves Cyberwave, this first-person sandbox survival game was brought to life through a Kickstarter campaign and has arrived on Xbox Game Pass just in time for our dynamic duo to check it out. Our trusty "Surprise Me" Button has previously selected its fair share of survival and crafting games, and our hosts have sampled plenty of Minecraft adjacent titles of their own volition, so the natural question is: how does this one stack up against all the rest? Will it have enough novelty to break free of the herd? Tom and Chris each played for the requisite hour and now have gathered to share their harvested wisdom with you. Let's hope it bears fruit!What do you think? Let us know!Check out all our links here:https://linktr.ee/tc1h1dThanks for taking this ride with us :-)

Amid reports of potential studio closures and mass layoffs, Microsoft has announced the Xbox Game Pass June Wave 2 lineup of games. It has yet to comment, however, on this week's rumors that the likes of Hellblade developer Ninja Theory, Psychonauts developer Double Fine, and South of Midnight developer Compulsion may be shut down. Daemon has all this and more in your Daily Fix!Presented by Universal Orlando Resort, and its newest theme park, Universal Epic Universe.

This week on Game Pass or Pass, we're hitting rewind and pressing play on Mixtape, the coming-of-age road trip adventure from Beethoven & Dinosaur and Annapurna Interactive. More than just a narrative game, Mixtape is a love letter to music, memory, and the awkward, exhilarating moments that define growing up. We dive into how the game's soundtrack drives the entire experience, why its unapologetically linear design feels more like playing through a favorite album than a traditional video game, and whether that approach helps or hurts the experience. We also explore the debate surrounding Mixtape's "indie" label. With a major publisher, a licensed soundtrack, and production values that rival much larger releases, where does it fit in today's gaming landscape? As the line between indie and AAA continues to blur, Mixtape has become part of a larger conversation about what "indie" even means anymore. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Did He-Man come out a few decades too late? I liked the movie, but does it have the power? Summer Games Fest hit Friday afternoon with a bang, Xbox brought the lancer, and immediately stepped on a rake. Meanwhile Nintendo finally revealed the game everyone knew about, as the Ocarina of time returns. Plus a new 21 Jump street is coming, but why the skip to 24?

Microsoft says Xbox Game Pass lost "millions of subscribers" after it increased prices by 50% with a price hike in October last year. Plus, the rumors were true: Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2 is real. All that and more in today's Daily Fix.

The other major showcase of Summer Game Fest is always the Xbox Games Showcase, and this is significant because it is the first one headed up by new XBOX CEO Asha Sharma. Sean and Marc give their reactions to the Xbox Showcase, the surprises, including the first teaser trailer for Persona 6, which will be Day One on Xbox Game Pass too. The exclusives are back as Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution are both console exclusives. But why not the rest of the games along with it? Some of this is directly alluded to by Asha in her recent interview with Bloomberg, where she speaks on exclusives and the direction of XBOX, among other things.Does the future look bright for the green brand? Or is it just more of the same?

Gears of War: E-Day kicked off the Xbox Games Showcase 2026 with a first look at gameplay, a release date of October 6, 2026, and confirmation that it will be an Xbox console exclusive. Plus, Persona 6 is real, and coming to Xbox Game Pass when it does arrive.Presented by Universal Orlando Resort

Xbox Showcase 2026: Somehow...Exclusives Returned... The Xbox Games Showcase 2026 brought a packed lineup of announcements, including the reveal of Persona 6, a new look at Fable, more details on Gears of War: E-Day, and the surprise return of Spyro. Microsoft also continued to showcase its evolving strategy of bringing more of its games beyond the Xbox ecosystem, while also announcing console exclusives... What does it mean to be an Xbox exclusive in 2026? As Xbox expands its reach across multiple platforms, fans and industry analysts remain divided. Some see the move as a smart business decision that puts games in front of more players and grows major franchises. Others argue that exclusives are a key part of a platform's identity and that moving away from them could weaken the value of owning an Xbox console. In this episode, we break down the biggest announcements from the showcase, discuss what stood out, what was missing, and examine the growing shift toward a multi-platform future. Are console exclusives becoming a thing of the past, or do they still play a critical role in the gaming industry? Tune in as we explore the announcements, the reactions, and the future of Xbox in a gaming landscape where the lines between platforms continue to blur. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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. Show Notes: 1:01 - Housekeeping 3:34 - Forza Horizon 6 Review: A Near-Perfect Racing Game 43:07 - Bigger, Deeper, Better: Our First Look at Subnautica 2 1:16:35 - LEGO Batman: A Spiritual Successor to the Arkham Franchise 1:52:37 - Why Your Favorite Games Take 6+ Years to Make (And Arrive Broken) 2:32:49 - Upcoming Video Game Releases Become a part of the conversation!

I played through Mixtape via Xbox Game Pass and I enjoyed it - but it's not going to be my GOTY and it didn't really reflect on my personal experience growing up in that time period. But you can wait for a sale - Mixtape's music licenses were agreed to in perpetuity, so the game will not be delisted. I then talk a lot about Forza Horizon 6, and how we've started to enter the roster update phase of one of my favorite game series. (But I'm still loving it) A bill in California has passed committee that will make it illegal for games to be sold that will be unplayable when the publisher shuts down online servers. Then we talk to Brad from OLR IIDX about Forza Horizon 6 and how it scales its difficulty levels.

I got the Steam Controller, and give my early impressions, as well as bemoan the fact that it can only be used in Steam and not in any other PC gaming content, such as games from Xbox Game Pass or Play Anywhere. Valve is implementing a reservation queue for future shipments of the Steam Controller due to the popularity of the first wave of orders. Nintendo has increased the price of the Switch 2 due to the AI infrastructure roll out - memory and storage is more expensive now than it was when the Switch 2 was initially manufactured. New Xbox CEO Asha Sharma announced that Xbox Copilot for Consoles is being discontinued, so there will not be an AI chatbot added to Xbox consoles as originally planned. Then we take a call from a blind gamer sharing how Civilization V is now completely playable for blind players thanks to a recent mod.

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. Analytic Dreamz delivers the full breakdown of gameplay, multiplayer features, campaign length, industry impact, and launch controversies in this detailed segment. Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
