It's the end of physical media as we know it!... Well, for Playstation, at least. Sony have announced they're going all digital at the start of 2027 and we have a LOT of thoughts about it! PLUS Tommy's had a hands-on preview of Splatoon Raiders, Ben's tried out the demo for Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and we've both been bopping along to Rhythm Heaven Groove! 

There's a whole galaxy of video game news this week and we're exploring every sector of it, including the pricing of the Steam Machine, Xbox price increases, GTA 6 pre-orders going live AND we're reviewing Starfox for Switch 2, a remake of the cult classic N64 game.This episode is brought to you by Distant Worlds, a celebration of music from Final Fantasy performed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra at Hamer Hall from July 23 - 25.

One of the big news stories of this week is that a pre-order date for Grand Theft Auto 6 has been announced - just in case you were skeptical about this game being one of the biggest launches of anything ever. Speaking of launches, Xbox has launched another new round of studio closures which obviously sucks! On a more positive note, we've checked out a bunch of fun and creative new demos as part of Steam Next Fest, and Square's new action RPG The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales.

Ben's back from New Zealand, just in time to wrap up the final bunch of Summer Games Fest announcements. Nintendo have dropped a Direct on us for the first time in a while, featuring JRPGs, thumb wrestling and confirmation of the long-rumoured Ocarina of Time remake. Plus over at the PC Gaming Showcase, there's magical die, cooking sims, power washing and demos galore!

They call it SUMMER Games Fest but I dunno man, it's like 11 degrees today and I've got the heater on. What's that all about? We've got a huge week of game announcements to cover from Sony's State of Play, The Summer Games Fest Presentation and Microsoft's Xbox Showcase. We're taking you through all of the big news - the surprise announcements, exciting reveals, unnecessary remakes, and deceased celebrity cameos.

Two MASSIVE games to get through this week which makes it the perfect time to go on a tangent about hog sizes. Once that’s wrapped up, it’s time to talk about 007 First Light and Mina The Hollower. There’s also news about a Steam Deck price increase, Yuji Naka copping strays in the press, and a delay for the much-anticipated Fable. 

We're in the board room this week and what better place to discuss the gaming industry's newest source for big announcements: the earnings call. We're getting closer and closer to the roll out of Grand Theft Auto 6 and so we're speculating about what kind of advertising and tie-ins we're going to see for this massive cultural event. Plus, we've also spent a bit of time with Yoshi And The Mysterious Book, and Zero Parades For Dead Spies!Get an exclusive 15% discount on Saily data plans! Use code FILTHY at checkout.
