Episode 147: Xbox’s Disc-to-Digital Program is Simply Softening the Blow of an All-Digital Future (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On the heels of Sony’s announcement that the PlayStation 6 won’t include a disc drive, Microsoft launched a program that allows you to convert your physical game discs into digital game licenses. However, we suspect this is merely softening the blow of the news that the next Xbox will also not include a disc drive. We discuss the bleak future of next-gen consoles along with the Grand Theft Auto VI leaks, Shift Up’s hiring of a DEI specialist, the horrible Halo demake, and plenty more!
Episode 146: PlayStation Going Discless, Xbox Resetting (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After removing 500 digital movies from purchasers’ libraries, Sony announced PlayStation will stop the production of game discs in early 2028, meaning expensive digital titles will be the only way to game on future PS consoles. We discuss this news along with Xbox’s layoffs and announcement of “resetting,” the hilarious day-one issues with Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynched and Halo: Campaign Evolved, and Fortnite’s addition of bikini skins.
