All PS+ new tiered games at launch are revealed and man is there is a ton to dissect here! Is this satisfactory for launch? Can this stand toe to toe with Game Pass? What new things does it bring that Xbox Game Pass cannot? After those discussions we get into a 2nd Death Stranding being revealed awkwardly, a very insanely unexpected news story on Xbox doing great in Japan and Series S systems are even selling better than PlayStation 5 systems which would be the last thing anyone would expect a few years back, some game announcements and delays, and lastly another game ditching last-gen versions.
With the 2nd half of 2022 looking bleak for Sony and now Microsoft, the focus shifts on Nintendo to supply the games! We start with discussing Starfield and Redfall's delay, then get into the next Nintendo Switch and Elden Ring sales milestones, Mario Strikers Battle League right around the corner, the possibility of the next Burnout game is setting up beautifully, plus Gotham Knights ditching last gen consoles.
While Tim is out on vacation, Rudy steps in to fill the episode with fun and games!
