Episode description

Impressions of Returnal and plenty of news as Sony and Microsoft dig in even further to their current strategies. Plus Esports becomes legit even to us older, skeptical folk. 

News

  • Sony released a State of Play video at the end of April with a few games but mostly featuring 15 minutes of the upcoming Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart game coming exclusively to PlayStation 5. 
  • Sony partners with Discord which is a surprise after Microsoft was rumored to be attempting to acquire the popular gaming service. 
  • Microsoft announces they will begin taking a lesser cut of the revenue in August and an even greater commitment to PC gaming. 
  • 74 more games added to FPS boost on XBOX Series X/S bringing the total up just short of 100. 
  • Esports is becoming an Olympic Sport with the announcment including Gran Turismo Sport.
